‘Difficult To Match The Trained Dancers’: Sagar Parekh On His Elimination From Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11

As Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 nears its grand finale, Sagar Parekh, who entered the show as a wildcard contestant, faced elimination despite his impressive performance. He was among the six contestants introduced to the show, with only four advancing to the competition. However, he did not secure a place in the top 6. During an interview, the actor discussed whether entering the show midway was a disadvantage.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Sagar shared, “Entering any show as a wild-card contestant comes with a set of pros and cons. The advantage is that one knows the insight of the competition and about the level it has reached. The disadvantage is that one doesn’t get the time for preparation or slowly improve the graph; one has to immediately match up the levels. And if the levels are too high, one faces difficulties. In my case, as a non-dancer, it was very difficult to match the trained dancers on the show.”

Reflecting on his journey, Sagar Parekh expressed gratitude for the memorable experiences he had on the show. He shared, “Well, I feel my entire journey was special, but I was thrilled when legendary actresses like Raveena Tandon and Juhi Chawla praised my work and mentioned that they are my fans.”

During the family week of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, Sagar Parekh gave a touching performance. Sharing glimpses of this special moment on Instagram, he posted a series of pictures featuring his entire family, including his father, mother, and brother. One particular snapshot captured his parents enjoying a lively dance with celebrity judges Malaika Arora and Arshad Warsi. In the caption, Sagar expressed his gratitude, writing, “From dedication to celebration: seeing my parents dance with joy is the ultimate reward. Six and a half years of relentless pursuit to prove their belief right. With their guidance, I found my path early, and this is just the beginning. Dreams do come true when you have unwavering support and determination.”
