Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10: Ali Asgar Becomes The First Contestant To Be Eliminated From Celebrity Dancing Show, Comedian Calls It “An Emotional Moment”

India’s most loved celebrity dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10’ premiered two weeks ago and has been receiving an overwhelming response. While the show traces the journey of twelve celebrity contestants as they try to master and perform different dance forms of the world, the intensity of the competition switches into high gear as the first elimination strikes. It came down to two contestants – Zorawar Karla and Ali Asgar.

Although the judges’ scores were equal for both contestants, it was ultimately the public’s vote which led to the elimination of none other than the multifaceted, actor-comedian Ali Asgar and his choreographer partner, Lipsa. Leaving the audience in shock, Ali bid farewell to the stage on an emotional note. In the wake of the first elimination, the remaining contestants are now more determined than ever to showcase a volley of impressive performances.

Ali Asgar’s dance stint with the show was marked by many special moments and highlights. The theme of this weekend’s episodes was family. The contestants and their choreographers drew inspiration from the hardships they endured in their lives and the one person whom they look up to for strength. Ali channeled the ridicule he faced for essaying women on-screen. Celebrated for his wit and sense of humour, the actor-comedian had an emotional moment on stage after seeing an A/V of his kids talking about their experiences while growing up, as their father mostly depicted female characters on screen. Karan Johar applauded him for having been an actor for 35 years and prayed that the industry acknowledges his work.
