​On winning Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11

I am very happy and it was my dream since my childhood to be a part of some dance reality show or participate as a contestant and today I’m the winner of biggest celebrity dance reality show, it is like dream coming true. (Photo: Instagram)

​On the final moments

During the final moments I was just praying that my name should get announced as the winner of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 as several people were praying for my victory. Whether it is my family, friends or my fans everyone has worked hard to make me the winner. Agar main nahi jeetti toh mere se zyaada unlogon ko bura lagta who were supporting me my fans, family and friends who were working hard to make me a winner. I would have felt bad for them and I did not want to disappoint them and make them feel bad. (Photo: Instagram)

​I'm very happy that my dream has come true

Sach kahoon Mujhe toh trophy ko dekh ke Abhi tak nahi lag raha that I’ve become the winner (I'm still unable to believe that I've become the winner). I knew I would win but Kabhi Kabhi yekeen karna mushkil hota hai apne sapne par. Sach mein Mera Sapna pura hogaya..(I’m very happy that my dream have come true). (Photo: Instagram)

​I'm going to miss rehearsals

I’m going to miss the show and rehearsals a lot but humko lagta hai Woh humko zyaada miss karenge (laughs). I’m very thankful and blessed that my journey of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa has been captured on television and whenever I want to revive it, I can watch all the moments. Hum Kabhi bhi dekh sakte hain ke ye hua Yaa Humne aisa kiya hai show mein. (Photo: Instagram)

​I'll miss the routine of rehearsals and getting ready for our acts

But yes it definitely feels bad that from next week I won’t be going to rehearsals or get ready for performances as it had become a routine for us. I’m feeling bad about it and I’ll missing it terribly. It had become a routine since the last two and a half months but I’m very happy that I could make so many new friends from the show and can meet them whenever I’ll miss the show. (Photo: Instagram)

​This Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa journey is very special for me

More than missing the judges I’m going to cherish the moments when they praised me or appreciated me. Those moments are extra special to me. I won the trophy but I will also remember those moments how I impressed them. I’m going to miss them but with a smile how they always appreciated my efforts. This Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa journey is very special for me. (Photo: Instagram)

​I'm very happy that I've been able to change that even wildcards can win the show

I’m very happy that I’ve been able to change things. Ab aage se koi bhi wildcard aane se pehle ye nahi Sochega ke wildcard nahi Jeet sakta show (From now no wildcard will think that he or she can't win the show, they will know that even they deserve a chance). We have created a kind of history and the wildcard who will henceforth enter the show will not have fear that they can’t win the show. As wildcard we always feel arre ab kya jaana show mein aadha show toh khatam ho chuka hai and all the other contestants have already made a place in the hearts of the viewers but I want to mention this ke agar aap mein baat ho toh aap interval ke baad bhi jaake Hungama kar sakte hain (If you have it in you, nobody can stop you from winning).

​On Abhishek Malhan winning the show

I would thank everyone who supported me. Abhishek also supported me and I would like to thank him. Par Dotson ko kya thank you karna, Dotson ka toh kaam hai sukh or dukh mein saath mein rehna. They are with me and I’m also with them. (Photo: Instagram)

​On doing Khatron Ke Khiladi

Abhi ke liye pata nahi aage ke liye dekhte hain, I’m not sure I have just finished one show and I don’t know if I would want to immediately go for another show. I would definitely want to do Khatron Ke Khiladi but after a small break and not immediately. (Photo: Instagram)

​On investing winning amount for the underprivilege kids

I don’t need a winning amount to do something for those kids. From the moment I’ve won Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa my aim has been to visit those underprivileged kids and celebrate my victory with them. I want to get gifts for them. I feel mehnat toh sab karte hain life mein but not everyone’s dreams come true. I feel it is my karma that I always do good for people and think good for others and the same I get in return. Mera mann saaf hai Isliye mere sapne jaldi pure horahe hain (I heart is clear and that's why all my dreams come true). Mere paas jab bhi paisa aata hai I always think about those kids and what all I can do for them, what gifts I can buy for them or the investments I can do for them. (Photo: Instagram)
