Baichung Bhutia wins Jhalak..

Indian football captain, Baichung Bhutia and his choreographer Sonia have lifted Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 trophy. The lanky Sikkimese dude who initially had hiccups in getting his emotions right on stage beat the talented dancer Gauhar Khan and the crowd favorite Karan Singh Grover, in the finale which was recorded late last night and went on to become the First Male Winner of Jhalak!!

The Grand Finale will be telecasted next Sunday night. "Most finals are usually telecast deferred live, but this had to be delayed because tonight's IPL Finale was being aired live on the sister network of Sony", says a source.

Coming to yesterday's finale, Savio Barnes, choreographer of Hard Kaur told us, "The audiences SMS vote overturned the judges' markings which had favored Gauhar. They selected the second best Baichung as their winner and kept Karan Singh as the third finalist, just like the teen deviyaan".

"There was no face off round between the top two and the audience vote selected Baichung", confirms our source from the sets. Our khabru went on to state that when the top two names were announced, everybody was surprised because it was expected that Karan will get most votes.

Although Savio admitted that Gauhar was a better dancer, he felt "Baichung deserved to win as he had showed remarkable growth and had reached this stage from being a complete non-dancer. Gauhar on the other hand is a good dancer, and she had trained with me too in the past".

On Karan our source says, "There was no growth; he remained where he was right from round one".

Savio who was quite depressed at losing out in the semi finals felt much better when the channel and the jury gave him and Hard Kaur, the Best Dancers' trophy, a replica of the winning trophy, after telling them that this was not out of sympathy, but because they deserved it.

Well, the moment of truth is that the Jhalak trophy belongs to Baichung!! Three cheers to the guy...

Tie between Gauhar and Baichung..

Gauhar and Baichung remain inseparable this week in terms of points, courtesy their fabulous performances..

The pre-finale tension is mounting on Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa as Gauhar Khan and Baichung Bhutia are trying hard to out beat the other on the dance floor!!

3ccording to our source, "Both Baichung and Gauhar gave their best performance this week, and the judges found it difficult to rate them. The level of competition amongst both is so high that they could not be separated even in points, as they ended up a tie".

Elaborating on the performance of Gauhar our informer adds, "She was perfect and her attitude portrayed that she deserved to win. Her Kisna act was very much appreciated by the judges. She was dressed in the attire of Krishna and gave a powerful performance and fetched good marks".

Baichung was equally good.Baichung and Sonia performed on the rumba act and it was a nice sight to watch. The dance involved risk as they jigged on top of two tables and a chair which they used as props. Sonia was fabulous as she jumped from one place to another.

Prabhu Deva too liked both their performances. "He was amazed to see Baichung dancing and grooving with Sonia", concludes the source.

The countdown has now begun to crown the Dancing Sensation in the Third Season of Jhalak.. May the best win..

Ali Asgar on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa..

In the coming episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 3, popular television actor Ali Asgar will be the center of attraction, as he came, danced and won the hearts of the Teen Deviyaan... With the theme being songs of the 60's, Ali conned the avatars of Rishi Kapoor, Raj Kumar and Aamir Khan.

Ali Asgar was the special guest who entertained the judges as well as the contestants with his humorous act in the show.

He brought the house down with his Rishi Kapoor and Aamir Khan acts. He even did the Basanti act with aplomb. He is the only guest who could entice not just one, but all the judges on the floor to dance with him. His Raaj Kumar act with Saroj Khan was a scream.

His gags were outstanding. The actor showed his funny side and made everyone laugh. With the battle on the dance floor getting tougher, he proved to be the perfect foil for fultoo entertainment on the sets.

Watch out for an exciting episode in the coming week as Ali dances on the tunes of 60's.

Cha-cha-cha for Karan Singh Grover..

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 3 goes down the memory lane this week wherein the contestants danced to the Golden Era of Music of the 60's. However, the favorite of all Karan Singh Grover and Nicole had a bad day in office.

According to our source, "Karan and Shilpa Shukla were in the bottom two. Karan performed on the dance form called Cha-cha-cha on the Dev Anand number ' Maana Janaab Ne Pukaara Nahi'. His entry was very filmy as he entered in a cycle, but ultimately failed to impress the judges".

"The teen deviyaan couldn't find anything new in their performance. Saroj Khan stated that the performance was good but there were no new steps. Vaibhavi said that they could have done better than this. Juhi added that the X-factor was missing in their performance and the duo should concentrate more as the competition is getting tougher day by day", adds our source.

Shilpa also gave a very thanda performance. "While Karan scored 22, Shilpa scored less than him", concludes our source.

The fate of the two is in the hands of junta now. Let's see who gets evicted this time!!

Gauhar accuses Shilpa of copying..

Things are getting fishy in the Season 3 of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa as contestants accuse each other...Again in the limelight is Gauhar Khan...

Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 3 opened up with a controversy looming large between Gauhar Khan and her choreographer, Hanif Hilal. Now Gauhar is again at the thick of things, as she recently accused Chak De girl Shilpa Shukla of copying steps in the last episode.

According to our khabroo, "Shilpa scored a perfect 30 last week for her performance on the number 'Zinda Hoon Main', and this irked Gauhar who felt that injustice was done to her, as she fell short of Shilpa in the race".

Trouble began when after the shoot of last week's episode Gauhar accused Shilpa of copying steps. She pointed to the fact that the same steps were used by Mouli Ganguly and Mazher for the same song in Nach Baliye 4. "Gauhar was heard saying that Karishma who choreographed for Mouli and Mazher in Nach, assists Nishant who is now the choreographer of Shilpa", adds our source.

"Gauhar went on to say that the act of Shilpa was so similar to the duo's act in the Star Plus show. They had scored the highest for their act and here too, Shilpa scored the maximum", concludes our source.

Well, this is the bitter 'reality' of reality shows, isn't it?

Another elimination in Jhalak House

Well its time for another contestant of Jhalak to bid adieu to the stage of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, season 3. The unlucky participant this week was Anand Raj Anand who could not win the hearts of junta and judges.

Monica Bedi was in the bottom two with Anand Raj Anand. It was a tough competition when the two danced but suddenly Anand blanked out leaving everyone in miff.

His chorographer continued to perform while he stood straight in confusion. Everybody including Vaibhavi tried to cheer him up but their efforts failed and this musician cum singer failed to perform.

Anand took his elimination very sportingly.It seems he knew about it and took his removal with a smile. Though judges and other participants felt bad for him.

It's survival of the fittest...truly said!!!

Jhalak bids adieu to...

The male contestants surely did perform better than the fairer sex this week in Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. After Bhagyashree's exit last week, this week's Elimination Special on Saturday sees yet another shocker of a result as the very adorable magician Ugesh Sarcar gets unlucky this time.

Ugesh and Anand Raj Anand were in the bottom two and had to go through the Face-Off where they perform on their previous act again. While Anand Raj came up with a steady performance, Ugesh who performed marvelously well in the episode, forgot his steps and the entire act got bit weird. This made the judges' decision easier, as the choreographer duo Saroj Khan and Vaibhavi voted for Anand Raj Anand. When it was Juhi's turn, she was heard saying that it was fair enough that Anand Raj Anand stays in the race, now that Ugesh forgot his steps in the face-off.

Ugesh Sarcar performed on the Hrithik number and got into the skin of the character so well in the episode that the judges had then praised him for his body language and the sensational magic cum dance that he exhibited. But it was indeed a sad moment when Ugesh could not reproduce the same magic on stage in the Face-Off.

The very talented magician will surely be missed on the Jhalak stage...

From next week onwards, the journey gets tougher in the Jhalak House as the contestants get to perform on various International dance forms. Unlike the last two weeks, both the male and female contestants will be seen grooving next Friday.

Juhi Chawla now dances to Ram's tunes...

In the coming episode, all contestants of Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 will be seen dancing to the tunes of Amitabh Bachchan, SRK and Salman Khan.

And the best part of the episode was when Juhi danced with the tubby man Ram Kapoor on the floor. The man who is a complete riot on sets has much more in store for viewers this week!!

"Ram who claimed to have two left feet when it comes to dancing was a complete surprise as he harmonized his steps with his choreographer", says our khabroo.

He did a SRK to the hilt dressed like Suri of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. "Ram's hard work and dedication was truly admired by the Teen Deviyaan and they were also generous in awarding him some good marks", adds the source.

He even inspired Juhi Chawla to join him on the dance floor. "They together danced on Banke tera jogi … from Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. At the end of it, Juhi exclaimed, "Punjab Power has lit our lives!", chirps the source. If Juhi's funny one liner brought a laugh on sets, Ram who was quite excited had not yet finished and quipped, "Every time something good happens to me, I wake my wife and daughter from their sleep to share my happiness. Tonight I won't let them sleep ... I danced with Juhi Chawla!!!", concludes our khabroo.

Well, to catch the man in action, tune in to Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 on Friday, March 13th, at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television…
