Irfan Pathan about Jhalak: Remembering Dance Steps is Toughest

With Shahid Kapoor on the board to judge Jhalak Dikhlaja Reloaded, the popularity of the dance reality show has grown even more. It’s just been a few weeks that the show started and we have heard about the wild card entry. Reportedly, Irfan Pathan will soon make a wild card entry to the show. The cricketer says that the biggest challenge for him would be remembering the dance steps.

Irfan told IANS, “I have only danced as a kid at family functions. I am a non-dancer, but I like taking challenges. Also, this is an off-season for cricket, so when I was approached for ‘Jhalak’ I thought I will take this up as new challenge because the show is all about the journey of a non-dancer to a dancer. It’s going to be a new learning experience”.

“My memory…to remember the dance steps is going to be my biggest challenge. I will compete with myself to get better with each performance”, added the cricketer. On being asked about the similarities between cricket and dance, Irfan said, “You can’t compare the two industries at all, they are totally different. In sports, you require stamina and in the entertainment industry, you should know how to entertain people in your own unique style”.
