Soni says that he didn’t want to leave his new daily in the lurch to be part of the show. “Zara... requires a lot of time. The contestants have to rehearse a lot before the actual shoot. My daily is new and equally demanding. I opted to stay with the daily and participate in the dance show in the next season if I am approached,” he says.

Soni is a trained salsa dancer and also well equipped to perform B-boying and hip-hop. “I did a 50-second act for Zara Nachke Dikha auditions. The producers loved me, but I was clear that if I took on one more show, it would strain my life completely,” says Soni.

Meanwhile, he has been flooded with compliments for his role of Ishaan on Sasuraal Genda Phool.
