WHO WILL MAKE IT TO THE TOP THREE?

    This weekend, celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa announces its three finalists. The competition has boiled down to four contestants — Gurmeet Choudhary, Rashmi Desai, Rithvik Dhanjani and Isha Sharwani — vying to make it to the top three.
    While Gurmeet has surprised the judges with his growth as a dancer, Rashmi and Rithvik have impressed them with their talent. Isha, who performed the rope malkhamb with a fractured hand, wowed the judges — Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit and Remo D’Souza — with her strong will and determination. Since Isha was unavailable, BT grilled the remaining three contestants raring to make it to the finale, which airs tonight at 9 on Colors.
What’s your USP? Gurmeet Choudhary: While others just dance, I add a lot of energy and power to my performances. I always come up with new concepts — I have donned several avatars like lion, peacock, etc.
Rithvik Dhanjani: My energy, my grasping power and adaptability.
    Rashmi Desai: My USP is my choreographer Deepak and my power, determination and positive approach.
Who is your biggest competition? Gurmeet: I’m not politically correct. I only compete with myself and my last performance. Rithvik: Gurmeet and Rashmi are equally good. While Rashmi is expressive and emotes well, Gurmeet has grown as a dancer. Rashmi: All three of us are equally good with our own set of skill, talent and
    strong fan base. I just want to put in my best and leave the rest to God.
Was it unfair since the two contestants were brought in much later? Gurmeet: I don’t waste energy thinking about what others are doing. I just focus on my act.
Rithvik: I don’t think it’s been unfair to the contestants who were there from the beginning. We entered the show only after seven weeks. By then, they were thoroughly trained and knew what the judges wanted. So, they always had an upper hand.
Rashmi: I feel it’s rather unfair to me and Rithvik. We came in late, at a stage when the other contestants had already benefitted from exposure to different dance styles. We had to start from scratch while others had already realised their mistakes and had begun to polish their strengths.
