Parul: Gauhar is better, but God's with me

It was a choice between rivals Parul Chauhan and Gauhar Khan during Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa's last elimination and Gauhar ended up going home. But that wasn't for long…she fought hard in the wildcard episode and is now back on the platform, turning on the heat for the other contestants, especially nemesis Parul. We talk to Parul, who's 'not taking names' as she tells us about being portrayed badly onscreen due to clever editing of arguments, the elimination round when she was in the face off round with Gauhar and the model's reentry on the show.

Were you shocked to be in the bottom two and dance in the face off?
I was aware that I would be in the face off round so I wasn't shocked. I was just praying that I wouldn't be eliminated. The day I got low marks, I was sure I'd be in the bottom two but I decided that whatever happens, I would do my best. When I had to perform, touch wood, whatever I did, God helped me.

Do you think that Gauhar dances better than you?
Yes, everyone knows that. See, I will not lie about it. I came on the show as a complete non-dancer and I have just become a dancer. I didn't know what dance was before learning the forms and the a b c of it here. I have worked hard, day and night. From day one, Gauhar was a good dancer. On the other hand, I learnt how to dance. It's a big achievement for me to have become a dancer here and I am proud of it.

You mentioned that you have no problem getting votes from the public because of your popularity on Bidaai. Are you still confident?
I've seen the video of my comments again and many people asked me about them. What you see on the show is very different from what happens there. Many times, instances have aired that show me in a negative light. I want to make one thing clear: there is a limit to everything. Someone was continuously saying things against me and I ignored it for a while. I will not name the person but things were said against me. And if I am not saying anything wrong to anyone, there is no reason for someone to say something wrong about me. I said I was doing India's number one show (Bidaai) and I am very lucky that I got Deepak as my choreographer. Everyone hoped Deepak would be their choreographer.

What do you think are your chances of winning on the show?
Here, everyone has a chance of winning. The competition is very tough now so everyone is working hard. Nobody knows who's going to last till the final. Everything depends on luck.

What are your thoughts on Gauhar coming back through the wildcard entry?
It's not a shock to me. No matter which two people remain in the final, they will be tough competition for each other. Suppose I reach there, and the other person is stronger than me, it's naturally going to be tough. I will have to work hard, whether it is Gauhar or Hard Kaur.

TV stars cross over to the dark side

Maybe because it's slimming, stylish or just safe but the television brigade, unlike their onscreen personas, love the colour black. Actors are always seen in very bright and colorful traditional clothes on their serials. But when they step out of their reel life images, they tend to balance things out wearing black outfits - all the time!

Parul Chauhan
While Ragini is often seen in beautiful, colourful sarees on Bidaai (Star Plus), she normally wears black when the time comes to pack up for the day. Parul also admits that it's her favourite colour.

Kinshuk Mahajan
Kinshuk, who plays Ranbir on Bidaai (Star Plus), is yet another actor obsessed with black. And he's often wearing the colour, whether he's at formal events or parties. At parties, we usually see him in black tees or black pants and as he is fair, the colour suits him.

Angad: I am planning to get married soon

Bidaai (Star Plus) might be set for an exciting twist but what's even more interesting is that in real life, Angad Hasija, who plays Alekh, is telling everyone that he plans to marry soon. There's only one problem: he doesn't have a bride'though he does have a lot of specifications.

HE says, "Like everyone, even I have dreamt of the girl I would like in my life. She should be simple, understanding and sweet. The most important thing is that she should mingle with my family and respect them. I agree that nobody is born perfect but I would still like my girl to possess these qualities. She should treat my parents just like hers; there should be that bond between them."
And culture is everything to the Punjab da puttar, who says, "She should obviously be Punjabi! It's very important to maintain the Punju bonding. And it will make a big difference as then she will adjust very easily."

Angad adds more parameters for his ideal woman, saying, "I don't want an aunty who just stays at home and is a housewife. If she wants to work, I would support her. She should be bold, but the right type of bold."

He also doesn't want someone from the acting field, adding, "She should definitely not be from the same field because then we will both be busy shooting and will have no time to spend with each other."

Surprisingly, Angad does not plan to undertake this tough task of tracking down his ideal girl himself. Instead, he's going to get his parents to do it for him. He says, "I believe that this decision of marriage is a very important one and should include parental consent. Jab humare parents jinhone humara bachpan se khayaal rakha hai aur humare liye sab kuch sacrifice kar sakte hain, tab humein bhi ye decision unse poochke lena chahiye. Our parents should choose a girl for us and then we should get engaged."

He also adds a sensible bit of advice to those like him, who are choosing arranged marriages, saying, "There should be a very long period between the engagement and the marriage so that the couple has time to understand each other."

While on the topic of marriage, we asked the actor to define love. He obliged, saying, "Love is the most important and one of the biggest things in my life. In my life, love holds great importance. It will be difficult for me to define love in one or two sentences as it is a very special thing for me."

Hasija signs off saying, "My parents are after me to get married now so I will very soon."

This is how it is all going to unfold: "Sadhna will try to find out what happened on the Diwali night when Alekh lost his mind as a child.

The track started when Shlok started helping Alekh recover from his mental illness. Alekh responded well and they came to know that the root cause of his illness took place on a Diwali night. Since then, Sadhna has been trying to find out what happened that night.
