Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, known for the outstanding performances delivered by its contestants and the intense competition that unfolds among them, has witnessed several dance acts resulting in the elimination of several celebrities. However, Shiv’s journey on the reality show recently came to an unexpected end just before the finale, leaving his fans and followers in shock.

Shiv Thakare bids adieu to the dance reality show

The popular dance reality show saw Shiv, considered a top contender by many, leave the dance floor. Judges, too, got emotional, with fans expressing on social media that he deserved a spot in the top 5.

Manisha Rani secured her spot as the initial finalist of the season, and Shoaib Ibrahim stood out as the sole contestant to achieve a perfect score of 30 in the semi-finals. Shiv Thakare and Dhanashree Verma found themselves in the bottom two, competing for a spot in the top 5 and a chance to advance to the finals with one final showdown. Dhanashree chose a theme focused on depression for her performance, while Shiv kept it energetic and fun. Unfortunately, the last-minute change in Shiv's choreographer didn't work in his favor, and he scored the lowest. This left Dhanashree in tears as she didn't want to compete against her close friend. Farah also bid an emotional goodbye to Shiv.
