Kriti said: "Manisha when you were talking before the act, I really hadn't expected such intensity to come from someone as endearing, talkative, and bubbly as you. It was a complete surprise for me. I think that you're not just a dancer; you're a very good actor too."
"For any actor or artist, I think these qualities are very important-- being able to captivate the audience and evoke emotions. I felt both things. I couldn't take my eyes off you. Manisha, you made me experience so many emotions in this one act," she added.
Astonished by the act, Shahid said: "I really enjoyed your performance. Manisha is truly gifted. While she was talking, I found her to be very quirky, which might be the reason she's on the show, but you proved you are here based on your dancing qualities. Firstly, I felt that you were fully committed throughout your performance, giving it your all."

"It looked like you had rehearsed extensively, and I really appreciate your performance. Your eye contact was particularly impressive, as sometimes in live performances, the body is more visible from a distance while the face and eyes are not as noticeable. I believe you have a bright future ahead. There is a strong passion within you, and I can see your commitment," added Shahid.
'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' airs on Sony.
