Get to know... Shoaib Ibrahim

Currently I am

Straining my muscles to give my best on Sony TV’s Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11.

High point in life

The year 2022. My wife Dipika conceived Ruhaan and my sister got married that same year.

Low point in life

The year 2013. My dad fell ill and I was out of work for a long time.

On my playlist

Kahani Suno 2.0 by Kaifi Khalil; Bol Bole Bol Tujko Kya Chahiye from Trimurti; O O Jaane Jaana from Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya.

One thing I would never buy

Alcohol.

Today I am craving

Rasmalai and dal baati churma. They’re my favourites.

Last thing I ordered online

Nothing. Dipika does the ordering and she has impeccable taste.

App I check before going to bed

Instagram for a dose of entertainment as I wind down.

Advice I would give my 18-year-old self

I have learnt and grown at every stage of life. I wouldn’t want to alter my journey at all.

My favourite subject in school

Science.

I’d swipe right on

Someone who embodies simplicity and honesty.

My secret skill is

Sleeping. I can do it for hours at a stretch.

A superpower I wish I had

To be able to stop innocent people from being killed, and to make the world a safer place for everyone.

My favourite Sunday memory

I grew up in Bhopal. On Sunday evenings, Papa would take us out. I’d look forward to it for the entire week.

My plans for next Sunday

Dance rehearsals.

My most star-struck moment

Meeting Salman Khan. I was simply awestruck.

My favourite bad habit

Being on the phone, scrolling through social media, binge-watching videos and getting lost in the digital world.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I would…:

Avoid it. I am happy with the present.

The best thing about fame

Even your parents get recognised. It makes them feel proud and the smile on their face is the biggest treasure!

The worst thing about fame

Being trolled. Celebrities become soft targets for criticism. The constant scrutiny is emotionally draining.
