Archana Taide, wife of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Winner Ashish Sharma | Photos

Who would have thought that Ashish Sharma - a TV actor who rose to fame through the Zee TV show "Rab Se Sohna Isshq" in 2012 - would emerge as the winner of the reality dance show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa"? I wouldn't have guessed it either.

But this post is not about him. We are focusing on his wife Archana Taide, who married him on January 30.

Why? Because she briefly shared the stage with his more famous husband when he won the said dance contest, nevertheless she has sent netizens searching for the keywords "Ashish Sharma wife" on various search engines. The photo below shows the reason why. She is pretty. I encourage big-time Bollywood or TV producers to go after her.


The format of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" was taken from the "Strictly Come Dancing" show on BBC-UK. Its seventh season started on June 7, 2014, which featured various guest celebrity judges including the impeccable actress Madhuri Dixit (also previously featured in this blog). From more than twenty contestants - with wild card entries - Ashish Sharma (TV anchor and long-time boyfriend of Archana Taide - was picked as the winner along with Shampa Sonthalia.

The actor said this is the first time that his wife cried. Judging from what we saw on TV, I think that the emotions she showed is real and unrehearsed. We congratulate the couple for winning the "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" trophy (see photo). I believe that they both should be credited for this recent achievement. Kudos!
