Shiv Thakare is brimming with excitement yet a touch of nervousness as he readies himself for his inaugural performance in the 11th season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

There exists a common misconception that individuals with robust physiques are not inherently great dancers. When asked if he ever subscribed to such a belief, Shiv Thakare shared, "Initially, I embarked on my journey as a dancer, so I don't entirely align with that notion. However, presently, I do feel somewhat akin to Sunny Deol when it comes to dancing. The rigors of my weightlifting regimen have cost me some of my flexibility. When I initially delved into weightlifting at the gym, I lacked proper guidance and was unaware of the importance of warming up and flexibility exercises before taking on weightlifting."

Following his stints on Bigg Boss Season 16 and Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 13, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11 signifies Shiv Thakare's third foray into reality television this year, firmly establishing his reputation as the "King of Reality Shows."

In articulating his aspirations for his journey on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Shiv Thakare expounded, "My voyage on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa transcends mere competition for the trophy; it's also a quest to transform from my present 'Sunny Deol in Dance' persona into someone as nimble as Tiger Shroff or Hrithik Roshan. My goals include reclaiming my lost flexibility, delving into diverse dance forms, and basking in the love and support of the discerning audience. My choreographer, Romsha Singh, plays an indispensable role in aiding me on this transformative journey."

The indomitable Shiv Thakare has already embarked on the shooting for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and with the show scheduled to air this Diwali, his fans are in for a captivating spectacle as they witness him groove on the television screen.
