Shiv Thakare not just hugged his father for the first time this year, but he also gave a mesmerising performance at par with his opponents and challenger Adrija Sinha.
This weekend was very special for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 11 contestants as they got the chance to share a very crucial and important part of their life with their family members courtesy of their performances.
Shiv performed with his father and shared how his family faced difficult times when his father was going through open heart surgery. His act with his father not only made him cry but also made one of the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa judges Arshad Warsi shed tears as he could relate to the feeling. “Coming from a traditional Maharashtrian family I have never hugged my father as I used to take blessings by touching his feet, but when Jhalak judges and anchor got to know this they made me share a warm embrace with my father and I am never going to forget it. I saw my father crying for the first time that day, ” Shiv shared while talking about the best thing that happened on the Saturday episode.
On sunday’s episode judges gave each contestant a partner in which they had to go against each other. For the ultimate battle, Shiv had to face off against Adrija and he performed so well that he left everyone so stunned. Talking about his feelings of giving challenge to Adrija Shiv said, “When I got to know that I have to perform opposite Adrija, I was like arre deva yeah ladki to hamesha 10 mainse 10 lati hai to mera kya hoga? (God this girl always gets 10 on 10, how would I pull off). But when Jhalak judge Farah Khan complimented me saying if anyone was capable of standing against Adrija today, it was only you. That was a big blessing for me.”
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 11 finale is here and Shiv has achieved a lot in his journey from non-dancer to dancer and now one of the top finalists. Both his fans and family are praying for his big win.
