Shveta Salve expresses her anguish at losing in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa; is hopeful of doing films
Barely 12 hours after she lost the Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa trophy to Mona Singh, Shveta Salve is truly heartbroken. "It has been difficult to come to terms with the end of Jhalak…," she says in a subdued voice. Friends and fiancé Rodney are at her residence trying to cheer her up. But it isn't working. "Frankly I was prepared for the worst. I'd have been quite surprised if I had won," she says.
The general feeling that she was a much better dancer than Mona Singh evokes a mirthless laugh from her. "I don't know. The results say otherwise. People voted for Mona. They liked her better. We've to accept that she was more popular than me. In these contests people don't vote for your abilities as much as your ability to connect with the audience. The results prove Mona connected better. And I'm happy for her. Whatever votes I got were for my dancing. I've never been in a very popular serial like Mona has. If I went to the finals it was only because of my dancing abilities. I'm glad a certain section of the people liked my dancing," she says.
It was believed that Mona's performances evolved over a period of time while Shveta's dancing prowess was on display right from the outset.
"We all had a month to train. If I made optimum use of that training period, is that my fault? I must've picked up the steps and responded to my choreographer's instruction better and faster than others," he says.
Shveta admits she looked shattered on camera when the results were announced. "It wasn't so much because I lost to Mona, but more the realisation that this was the last time I would dance on a public platform. It was the realisation that I'd never be doing this again which made me miserable. It hit me like a bolt that I'd never hit the dance floor again. Where's the opportunity to dance in television serials? I hope I get a larger platform," says Shveta.
Meanwhile, Shveta is hoping to get a chance to do films. "That's where I stand a better chance to dance. I'm a performer. I love to dance, and I'd love pursue dancing," she says.
For now Shveta returns to shooting for her soap Left Right Left. "I've to keep my commitments. The judges Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Farah Khan were so appreciative. Maybe one day I'll get to work with them."
What about plans to tie the knot? "Rodney has been wonderfully appreciative. He says he's glad I didn't win Jhalak… because if I had I'd have left him and gone on to greener pastures."
