Arjun Bijlani on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and how TV actors are on par with Bollywood actors

The Naagin actor Arjun Bijlani, who will next be seen in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9, says the gap between Bollywood and the TV industry is reducing.

He also feels that actors who work on the small screen are quite capable of making it big in the film industry.

"There are so many films being made and there is so much talent in television... It's a great thing because television actors are equally capable of doing great films as they are used to that kind of hard work," Arjun told a news agency.

After popular TV shows like Left Right Left and before the Colors TV show, Arjun was seen in a movie, Direct Ishq, earlier this year.

On being asked what made him choose Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, he said: "The one and only reason to be on Jhalak... is to become a better dancer. Jhalak...is the best reality show for dance as far as I'm concerned."

"The choreographers work really hard. When you practice dance everyday, you start becoming good at it," he added.

Season 9 of the reality show will premiere on 30 July on Colors, with actor Jacqueline Fernandez, filmmaker Karan Johar and choreographer Ganesh Hegde as judges.
