Zor Ka Jhatka boys get naughty with Argentinian girls


The shooting of the Shah Rukh-helmed reality show Zor Ka Jhatka in Buenos Aires that concluded last month had many jhatkas. According to one of the contestants who spoke on condition of anonymity, there was more excitement off camera than on it with many contestants going completely berserk and ballistic.

After recording just a few episodes two of the contestants Payal Rohatgi and Gaurav Chopra had to be sent back, apparently due to injuries.

Says the source, “Gaurav and Payal had to return and were hurriedly replaced by two commandos of the Indian army Captain Albert and Captain Dharam. Others from the non-entertainment field who participated as contestants included the CWG boxer Manoj Kumar, Vijender Singh's boxer-brother Jai Bhagwan, wrestler Sonika, sprinter Alka Tomar, squash player Ravi Dixit, the youngest mountaineer to climb the Everest Krushna Patil.

From the television/entertainment world there were Kushal Punjabi, Vindoo Dara Singh, Claudia Ciesla, Bakhtiar Irani, former Miss Femina India 2008 Simran Kaul Mundi, Miss India 2006 Natasha Suri, Mink, Rohit Verma, Biggest Loser runner-up Gracias D'Costa, Rahul Ka Swayamvar runner-up Priyadarshini and winner Dimpy Rahul Mahajan, Vijesh Hirjee, Jennifer Winget, Raja Chowdhary, Hanif Hilal, Amit Sarin, Karisma Tanna, Narayani Shastri and Manas Katiyal (contestant from Raakhi Ka Swayamvar).”

Apparently some of the boys in the above package painted the town red with the local Argentinian women.

Says the source, “Why only red? The boys painted the town every colour. Some of the male contestants just went ballistic with the local chicks who were more than willing to oblige. They were so many local girls who just wanted to get naughty with our boys. The guys even Jai Bhagwan really let themselves go.”

We just hope they haven't come back with anything more than the Argentinian flu!!

Says the source, “The guys completely ignored the Indian female contestants and headed straight to date and mate the local babes. And why not? There was only about five days of work. The rest was all play. Don't be surprised if there is a baby boom this year in that part of the world. The local chicks like to do it unprotected.”



To avoid the winner's names being given out Endemol and NDTV Imagine recorded every contestant's stunts individually.

However sources say that Kushan Punjabi and Claudia Ciesla have an edge over the other contestants,

Says the source, “Endemol and the channel have done a very clever thing.They have made sure that the winner's name doesn't come back to India as it always does, by shooting every contestant's obstacle-tasks separately.

So basically none of us knows what the others contestants have done or how they've performed. Only the Endemol chief from India and Argentina were present at all the performances by contestants.

This is why the host Shah Rukh Khan could not be present in Argentina. It was impossible for him to be there to witness every contestant's performance as he was shooting in Berlin for Don 2.

So they recorded his reactions separately in India. However he did join us in Bunenos Aires for a few days to shoot the team portions.”

Though the winner is not known the buzz is that Jai Bhagwan, Manoj Kumar, Hanif Hilal, Claudia Cessler, Krushnaa Patil and Kushal Punjabi performed the best and one of these are expected to win.
