Giving some of the most amazing performances on stage, Gurmeet has made his way to the Top 3. We spoke to Gurmeet to know more about his experiences on the dance reality show….

How was the experience of being a part of the show?
It has been a fantastic experience for me to be a part of Jhalak. I got to learn new things after joining the stage of Jhalak. It’s like a dream come true for me to have got an opportunity to be a part of this show.

How tough was it for you to juggle between your shooting schedule and dance rehearsals for Jhalak?
It was very hectic. I haven’t slept for the past few months. I have to shoot for Punar Vivah as well as rehearse for my performances for Jhalak. The team of Punar Vivah has always been very supportive for me and it is because of their support that I am able to manage the two well.

Who was the toughest competitor for you throughout the journey?
The toughest competitor throughout the journey has been myself. The judges expected something new out of Gurmeet every time he came on stage. It just like I am competing with myself and judges start comparing you with your previous performances. It was very difficult to be compared to yourself.

The toughest act you did?
The toughest act I did will be aired in the finale episode. It required a lot of brain to bring out creativity in this act. Performing in that act was the most difficult task for me.

Did you ever think of reaching the Top 3?
I entered to the show with a motive to give my 100%. My fans have always supported me and played an important role in bringing me to this level. They used to keep voting for me throughout the night. So, it was my responsibility to satisfy them by giving my best in whatever acts I am doing and make my fans feel proud of supporting me.

How difficult was it for you to reach to this level?
Honestly, it was very difficult for me to reach to this level. I would like to appreciate the team of Punar Vivah’s for being so boosterish. I hardly got time to go for rehearsals. I had to shoot for 12 hrs. and then I was left only with the other 12 for rehearsals. Traveling also took about 1-2 hours of my time. So I had very little time on my hand to deliver a good performance.

Share one memorable moment of Jhalak?
There have been a lot of moments which will always be memorable for me. The most striking moment for me would be when I got full marks for four consecutive times. I got less marks in the beginning and a buzz was created that it’s difficult for Gurmeet to stay in this show. I kept on giving my performances and due to that and the support of my fans; I proved them wrong and made it through to the Top 3. My fans are just like my family and I always feel happy to see them happy too.

Which according to you was your best performance on Jhalak?
The best performance of mine on Jhalak was the Bhala Bura act and the Robo act according to me.

Who deserves to win the show according to you?
All 3 of us deserve to win the show. If we have reached to this level then we all deserve to win the show. I wish for the best one to win the show.
