‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ season 11 airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 p.m. as well as on an OTT platform. It is judged by Malaika Arora, Farah Khan and Arshad Warsi.
In the recent episode of a popular dance reality show 'JDJ 11', things got emotional as Malaika Arora found herself engulfed in tears, as she recalled her humble childhood home and family. All the three judges talked about the challenges she faced during her early days in the Hindi film industry during Sangeeta Phogat’s performance.
With choreographer Bharat Ghare, dancer Sangeeta Phogat delivered an emotional performance on ‘Jo Bheji Thi Duaa’, from the 2012 film ‘Shanghai’. Through their dance, Bharat and Sangeeta depicted the hardships of construction workers on how they build homes for others but don’t have a home of their own.

Touched by the dance, Malaika Arora commneted, “The concept was amazing, I love it. I’m sure many people would have various interpretations of this concept, but the way you presented it was such a beautiful interpretation.”
She further praised Sangeeta and how she can think of an acting career. Malaika added, “You are a natural actress. There’s an actress within you. The way you started with your dialogue, the way you were cleaning your hands on your dress, those small details – you are a born actress. I don’t think you realise it, but, during this Jhalak journey, an actress has emerged within you. I believe, if a film is ever made, you should be the one to act. You are a brilliant actress. You dance, you emote, you act – it’s amazing.”

That’s not it. Malaika shared her own experience of living in a rented house. “We didn’t have our own house. I mean, as far back as I can remember, we lived in a rented house. We often joke and say that we lived in a matchbox during our childhood,” she recalled. “I remember how small the house was. If we walked around, it seemed like someone might get hurt. It was very, very difficult. So obviously, the first thing I wanted to do when I could afford it, after saving up a bit of money, was to buy a house. And I wanted to tell my mom about it,” she said.
Arshad Warsi then shared how he admired Malaika and Farah, and said, “This is why I love Malaika and Farah.” The latest episode also marked the elimination of Glenn Saldanha.
