Impressed by the spellbinding act, Judge Farah Khansaid, “I think I liked it the most because out of the 4 songs, I have choreographed 3 (laughs). Parmeet was a part of 'Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna,' as well. I felt very good because you created a whole story from the mehndi to the sangeet to the wedding ceremony. Shoaib, you danced with so much happiness and love. Anuradha, I liked it, you didn't waste any beat, and choreographed it well. It was simple, even your lifts were very clean and well done. It was really sweet, I felt like I was watching someone's wedding and was very happy to see it. It was a very happy performance. Too good.” Adding to the compliments, guest Archana says, “When I was watching Shoaib, it really felt like a typical hero from a film is dancing. It seemed like your hair, your demeanor, and the costume were flattering your physique, making you look like a typical hero, and you were dancing like a hero, enjoying yourself. Your expressions and energy were very good. Anuradha was complimenting you beautifully.” Furthermore, Parmeet Sethi said, “I actually felt like Shah Rukh Khan was dancing while watching you.” Not only this, but Dipika will also get nostalgic and talk about their wedding and reminisce about the beautiful moments they shared during their wedding ceremony. Dipika says, “During the wedding ceremony, it literally felt like a dream come true for me. We had our wedding in Maudaha, which is Shoaib’s village. Our wedding baarat went through the same streets from where Ammi and Papa’s baarat had gone. The whole experience was so traditional and desi. Our journey started with the entire family travelling together on a train. It was a lot of fun. We didn’t have a typical pre-wedding shoot, so after reaching the village, we went to the fields and started recreating scenes from 'DDLJ.” Dipika also talks about the changes in Shoaib after marriage and said, “Earlier, he was romantic, but he did not show it and would say he doesn’t know how to express himself.' Recently, it was our anniversary, and he was shooting, so I wasn't expecting anything. When he came back, he got me a set of nice diamond earrings. But what surprised me the most was that he has started writing. I have been writing since he came into my life, but now he has started writing to impress me. It was very special for me. The most special thing was when I was away for 3 months, he had kept a diary detailing everything. Those diaries are still with me. When I came back, the gift I got from him was those two diaries where he had written in detail about everything he did every day, whom he met, and how much he missed me. That's how he expresses himself.” To see Shoaib’s magical perfomrnace, tune into Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa this weekend at 9:30 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television!
