'Jigariyaa' brings Harshvardhan Deo into limelight

The movie "Jigariyaa" may have failed to make an impact at the box office. But debutant actor Harshvardhan Deo is basking in all the appreciation that has come his way by filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani and Tigmanshu Dhulia. He says he is "overwhelmed by their response".

"It is overwhelming and extremely humbling that my first endeavour has been appreciated by these great directors. I hope to keep working hard and improving with every film. I hope I get to work with them," Harshvardhan said.

Appreciating his performance, Hirani, who has helmed popular films like "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." and "3 Idiots", said: "It's rare to see newcomers get a break in this industry as fast as Harshvardhan has. The film seems like an honest film and Harshvardhan seems to have captured the hearts of many. My best wishes are with him."

Dhulia also seems to be impressed with the newcomer.

"Harshvardhan is a very good performer and his acting is effortless and raw. He is a guy who looks like he surrenders himself completely to the character which is why his vulnerability comes through strongly which is unique," said Dhulia.

Directed by Raj Purohit, "Jigariyaa" released Oct 10.

TV show contestant leaves SRK blushing

Actor Shah Rukh Khan was left blushing when a contestant from a new dance reality show, "Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale", asked the veteran actor to marry her. She also confessed being a die-hard fan of the actor.

Elena, who is from Russia, performed during the Ahmedabad auditions of the Zee TV dance reality show in front of the panel, of which Shah Rukh is also a part.

Before asking Shah Rukh to marry her, Elena also danced to racy songs like "Aa re pritam pyare" and "Chikni chameli" with perfect Indian moves.

The show's panel, called 'Agents of Happiness' also includes stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Farah Khan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah. The cast of upcoming movie "Happy New Year" was left spellbound by her performance.

When Elena revealed her liking for the superstar and asked him to marry her, everyone was bewildered -- even King Khan was left blushing.

In response, the spontaneous SRK said: "What are you doing on Monday, we can get married on Monday!"

To that, "Happy New Year" director and Shah Rukh's close friend Farah Khan added: "Shaadi (marriage) is not possible, but romance is! He can come and dance with you".

Shah Rukh then joined Elena on the floor and both danced to his hit romantic song "Aankhon mein teri" from "Om Shanti Om"

The dance reality show began its journey in Mumbai and made its second stop in Ahmedabad. It is going to head to Indore and Delhi in the coming days with its star-studded panel.
