Exclusive - Shiv Thakare on growing competition in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 due to wildcard entries: If I get threatened due to someone’s entry, Shiv Thakare 'ussi din khatam hojaayega'

Shiv Thakare

, who is currently seen in

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11

is winning hearts with his dancing skills. The reality star is just a week away from entering the finale round and is leaving no stone unturned in giving his best. Shiv joined ETimes TV for a quick conversation where he spoke about putting in a lot of hard work during

rehearsals

. Shiv also reacted to if he is feeling the pressure of the growing

competition

on Jhalak due to the entry of wildcard contestants.

Speaking about the rehearsals, he said, "During rehearsals our body totally gives up. It is a very tough process, the 4 days of rehearsals. We have pain in our legs and it is so bad that it becomes difficult to sleep at night. But after all this pain and hard work, the appreciation that we get becomes a kind motivation for next week’s rehearsals. Ek time par aapki body saath nahi deti, you want to be a part of the show, but your body gives up. But these comments and compliments motivate us to do better"
The reality star, who became a sensation after his previous reality shows made it very clear that he is now

affected

by any new wildcard entry on the show. Shiv further explained how Manisha is bringing her fan following to the show, "If the entry of good performers starts having an effect on me then I wouldn’t have reached this far in life. I am here today because of my USP and speciality. All the wildcards who entered the show have their own good points but we also have ours. And nobody can take someone else's place. I believe the competition of Jhalak has many heroes and heroines because everyone has their own individuality and fan following. There is something different in each of us, some aura which our fans love about us."
He added, "If Manisha has entered the show, she is adding value to our show. She is getting her own fan following and new audience to the show. She is helping to make the show big and indirectly she is bringing in new eyeballs to the show. This is going to help us because show bada hoga toh saare contestants bade honge and faida Humara he hai. This only makes us feel good that it is helping in generating good TRP. I don’t get affected or I don’t feel

threatened

because of anyone’s entry."

He went on to praise

Manisha Rani

and shared, "Manisha is a very good girl and she has a good heart. If I start feeling bad or threatened because of someone’s entry, Shiv Thakare ussi din khatam hojaayega. I’ve made my own world and earned love from fans because they have accepted me the way I’m. Main jaisa hoon uss wajah se log Mujhe pasand karte hain. I don’t get affected by anyone's entry.".
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 will soon get its winner and the Top 6 contestants Shiv Thakare, Shoaib Ibrahim, Adrija Sinha, Shreeram Chandra, Dhanashree Verma and Manisha Rani are competing for the trophy.
