Model Gauhar Khan and her choreographer Hanif Hilal never got along well on Jhalak Dhikhhla Jaa 3 (JDJ) and things have only gone from bad to worse after Hanif left the show following his injury.

Gauhar says that Hanif is saying things about her that are “uncalled for”. “Hanif is saying that I made use of his injury by saying that I want another choreographer. That is untrue. He was trying some stunts, which I warned him against, but he didn’t listen.” She further says that she asked for a different choreographer because Hanif wasn’t good enough.

“The judges said I was a good dancer and my marks were less only because of the choreography.” Hanif, however maintains that Gauhar had a problem with him even before she met him.

"She had preconceived notions about me. She never had faith in me, in spite of me telling her repeatedly that I am a good choreographer. There is no point putting up with somebody who doesn’t have faith in you. I had a great time on JDJ the last time, but this time, my partner wasn’t as warm as Pooja Bedi (his partner in the previous season).
