Manish Paul enjoying the ‘bromance’ with co-host Ranvir Shorey on Jhalak
Why shouldn’t boys have all the fun. That seems to be the mantra of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7 (Colors) hosts Ranvir Shorey and Manish Paul. While the former has been associated with this season of the show right from the very beginning, Manish was drafted in as a last minute replacement after Drashti Dhami was shown the door by the producers (BBC Worldwide Productions) owing to her poor hosting skills. With the skilled Manish back in the groove, things seem to have improved a whole lot in terms of spontaneity and wit.
Ask him about his bromance with co-host Ranvir Shorey, Manish says, “It’s going very good. So far so good. We both come with different hosting abilities. He has his own sense of humour and I have mine.”
The fact that Manish was not the first choice emcee barely bothers him. “I don’t think about all these things. I share a special relationship with Colors and when I got a call from them, I instantaneously said yes. In fact, I was holidaying when I got a call from Colors asking me to host. I just had to sort out a few dates for my film assignments and thankfully Colors took care of all those and accommodated me,” asserts Manish.
Being an emcee, Manish prefers to remain tight-lipped on he thinks could win the show this seasons. “All are my favourites,” says Manish with naughty wink before signing off.
