“It was a great experience and I had a great time. But a few things happened that I didn’t find right,” said Shiv Thakare.
Following his appearance in the show Bigg Boss, Shiv Thakare became quite popular among Indian viewers. Although he had earlier participated in MTV Roadies Rising and Bigg Boss Marathi, it was his stint on the Salman Khan-hosted show that rose him to prominence. Later, he also appeared on shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, besides starting his entrepreneurial projects. Although his appearances on popular TV shows have made him a fan favourite, there have also been times when Shiv Thakare felt disappointed with his work.
One such example is that he was eliminated from the dance reality show before reaching the Top 5. In a recent chat with ETimes, Shiv opened up about his Jhalak journey and shared that he was not happy with the results and felt it was ” unfair .”

Mentioning that he is not one to be affected by victory or defeat, Shiv Thakare said, “Whether I win or lose, it’s fine either way. For me, what is important is my journey on the show. If I can win 10 people, I will be very happy. With the grace of God, many people love me. There are things I’m learning about the industry. The definition of good or bad that we learned in books does not apply in the real world. So, my focus will always be on my work and on moving forward in life.”
Talking further about his elimination from the dance reality show, Shiv shared that although the makers were right on their part, a few things were done to bring TRP to the show.
“A few things happened on the show that were beyond my principles. The makers were right on their part as few things are made just for TRP. Jhalak is not just dancing but it is an entertainment show. It was a great experience and I had a great time. But a few things happened that I didn’t find right. I tried to convey to them. I was very confused as I could not make them understand. Later I lost interest. I was never worried about winning, I just wanted to live the moment and enjoy the journey,” he added.
