As I’ve never learnt dancing in my life, this is going to be a big challenge for me
I loved dancing since childhood but I have never taken any formal training or learnt dancing. I always wanted to do a dancing show and finally it has come true. I am elated that I will be performing in front of three talented and well-known judges, who are such big names from their fields Arshad sir, Farah and Malaika ma’am. They are so experienced and they will be giving me comments on my acts and it is nothing short of a dream. As I’ve never learnt dancing in my life, this is going to be a big challenge for me as I’ve always danced on 30 seconds reels or dance music videos which has retakes but this is the first time I will be dancing on one take. It is very tough and I don’t want to give up, I am going to give my full energy. This is going to be my first opportunity of performing on such a big stage and in front of these stalwarts in one take. People saw me on OTT the last time, but now the television audience will get to see me and it is very exciting.
On sustaining injury on her second day
When I started practicing or rehearsing for my acts, I suffered an injury on the second day itself on my right hand. I and my choreographer couldn’t coordinate time and I landed up getting an injury. Then the doctor present on the sets for physiotherapy visited me and I was in severe pain that day. I had to do icing a lot to recover. I told my choreographer “aapne toh Mera haanth he ukhad diya, he told me don’t worry it is just a beginning”. I am now prepared for all these things as I am part of this show. Also I believe life mein kuch Accha karne ke liye, kuch Accha paane ke liye thoda toh takleef se guzarna padta he hai. So I’m full ready for it.
Sometimes I do get scared about injuries
Yes, sometimes I do get scared that I don’t hurt myself on face or body because as an artist it is very important for us. But now I’ve taken up the show so I’ve to give my full 100 percent to the show.
Manisha on her father’s reaction
My father is very happy and he tells me that I keep making him proud and he praises me for my hard work. He often tells that he doesn’t need to guide me that do this or do that, I manage to take right decisions which makes him super proud of me. He keeps giving me his blessings to do well in life.

Manisha Rani on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11: I used to make reels for 30 seconds, now I will be performing
For me no work is small and I would do it happily
I’ve just started my journey on Jhalak and it is going to be a two months journey if I keep performing well. After this if I am offered something very interesting like Khatron Ke Khiladi or any other web-series or movie, I will take up. For me no work is small and I would do it happily. I believe that when life offers you opportunities you should grab it with both the hands and work on it. Every step takes you ahead in life and you have to just keep working hard to reach your goals.
