Amusing Arjun on PZ show

Arjun: It was during Raajneeti that we became very close friends. Funnily there’s one incident wherein we were all having a meal together and Katrina asked for yellow sauce. Everyone looked blank and didn’t realise what she was asking. After going into a little more elaborate description,we realised she was actually referring to dal!

Preity: One thing about Mehr Rampal that no one knows.

Arjun: This is my big secret. Mehr was already a model before I became one and I had her poster pasted on the walls of my hostel room.

I would think to myself that if I get married some day,it would be with someone like Mehr.

Preity: Do you have any crazy fan incident on you?

Arjun: Fans are fun! Having said that,once there was a stalker type of woman who landed up at my residence and refused to budge. I was afraid she would do something drastic like tear her clothes or something obnoxious.

While performing an impromptu play act with PZ,which is regular segment on the show,Arjun said something that left the actress agape. Preity played a firang character and said that she was smitten by Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan,to which the actor quipped,“Shah Rukh doesn’t like white women and Salman doesn’t like girls at all!” Wow,we recommend PZ to get more such celebs on board. They will surely get the show’s TRPs rising. This episode goes on air on September 24 at 7 pm on UTV Stars.

The duo are now already missing the show and are hoping for its new season to come up. The two,who previously judged Dance Premiere League and Dance Ke Superstars,feel that Footloose was a reality show without any unwanted drama and that is what they liked about the show. “This dance reality show was fully based on talent and had no unwanted drama like the emotionally filled background of the contestant,which shows how the person struggled all the way to come to the show,his or her family melodrama,the human interest stories etc. And this is what they find is unique in the show,” expressed Umashankar. Whereas,his all-time work partner,Gaiti,supporting his thoughts further added,“Also,here there were no public or audience votes involved. The contestant themselves had to eliminate their team members and this was quite interesting to watch.” The show that airs every Saturday at 7 pm on Channel [V will go on for just three to four episodes.
