During the shoot of Jashn Milan Ka, Surbhi Jyoti kick-started the festive celebration with a mesmerising opening act full of diyas and lights at Abhi’s house. Dancing with lanterns in her hand, she swayed to hits like Ram Leela’s Mor Bani Thangat Kare and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’s title track. However, it was her classical act on Ghar More Pardesiya from Kalank that took everyone’s breath away. In fact, what was more impressive was the fact that despite not being a trained classical dancer, she aced the Kathak moves like a pro!

Talking about her Jashn Milan Ka act, Surbhi Jyoti shared, “I had a great time doing the opening act for the festivities for Abhi - Pragya’s reunion. For the last few occasions, I have performed on either western songs or popular Bollywood dance numbers, however, this time I got an opportunity to do an out-and-out Indian classical performance, hence I was looking forward to it since the time I was offered the act. I am not a trained classical dancer, so I had to learn everything starting with the basics as there are a lot of gestures, movements and expressions involved in Kathak that I needed to master. I learned the basics of the dance form in a couple of days with the help of our choreographers and then, after a couple of proper rehearsals on the day of Jashn Milan Ka’s shoot, the choreography that the act demanded was completed. When you give it your all and perform with love and compassion, I guess nothing can stop us. I have given my best to this performance and I’m excited for my fans to watch it.”
Sharing the challenges she faced while shooting, the actress further added, “I had to perform in a big diya, that too with two lanterns in my hand and I was so scared that the diya might topple or I might fall as I had to do a lot of moves during the act. I did have a couple of moments where I thought I would fall, but everything went smoothly in the end".
