She added, “I believe in what I said on the stage. I have set a great standard for myself as these people are really such amazing personalities. I don’t know about others, but I wouldn’t call myself a star just because I achieved a few things. I would do it only the day I feel I have accomplished even close to the level of love, goodwill, and body of work they have. That for me is stardom. They are like my idols and I look up to them. But I did get emotional about getting this validation from someone from the same fraternity.”

When asked about Kajol’s response to her statement, the actor smiled to say, “We share a very strong relationship, there is a sense of… See, Kajol understands the intention behind everything I say, and I am sure she is proud of me for being honest and real. That’s what we have been taught by our mother to be who we are, always.”

Did Tanishaa get advice from her family before Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11? “They have never done a dance reality show so they cannot advice me,” Tanishaa said with a loud laugh, adding, “But they can give me love and support me. They would be watching and cheering me on, like they have throughout my struggles. They both have always been there for me.”
