We are sure the viewers are excitedly waiting to watch our favourite celebrities rock the stage with their sizzling performances in Colors' Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8.

With the most popular faces such as Sanaya Irani, Mohit Malik, Vivian Dsena and likes coming in as participants, we speak to the musician, rapper and singer Raftaar on his excitement to be a part of the show.

Elated about performing on the show, Raftaar averred, "I am very excited to be a part of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa-8 because this show gives you stardom. I performed in DID Doubles to make a name for myself and I am now in Jhalak to attain stardom. I do not want to come across as a rapper but I now plan to make it big as an artist."

Raftaar claimed that he trained himself by watching established dancers and he never learnt dance. After learning dance, he started giving dance classes to earn pocket money.

Shedding some light on the strategy he plans to adopt, he stated, "I never learned dance but I taught for pocket money.

I got accepted in the industry post my stint in DID doubles and I plan to grow not only as a rapper or a musician but also as an entertainer. I will rap and dance at the same time. I am weak at contemporary dance but I will try to work towards it."

Speaking about competition, Rapper Raftaar said, "I think Subhreet Kaur is very talented. I had tears in my eyes when I saw her performing. She is handicapped but she has a strong will do perform and is very focused. I think she is a tough competition."

Rapper Raftaar we wish you luck with your stint in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8!
