GAURAV GERA AKA CHUTKI IS OUT OF JHALAK DIKHHLA JAA
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa this season is all about surprise packages, hotness quotients and pure dancing! It is the show’s unparalleled entertainer and surprise package – Chutki aka Gaurav Gera who has been announced as the first contestant to bid adieu to the dance floor! While the ace comedian was on the show for a short duration, the amount of entertainment and humor that Chutki brought with her was unmatchable. Along with the comic timing Chutki was always seen putting in a great amount of effort into her performances. Chutki’s determination, in fact, saw her trying newer and different dance forms, much to the judges’ delight. The third week, though, proved to be fatal for Chutki as her high heels got stuck in her skirt while she was performing salsa to 2015’s chart buster ‘Gulabo’, which in turn affected her performance and score significantly. But Chutki, as an ace performer, completed her act with the same level of confidence and energy, impressing the jury with her strong willpower. Chutki aka Gaurav Gera said, “My journey on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa gave me an opportunity to challenge my limits. Even though I was a part of the show for a very short duration, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. This show has been a very different and unique experience for me, and I will treasure it for a lifetime. The competition has just begun; my best wishes are with everyone and may the best dancer win”.
