Promising to present something new with a dash of fusion, the charming Shoaib Ibrahim along with choreographer Anuradha Iyengar performed to the song Jaadu Teri Nazar. Giving a fresh perspective to this timeless classic, Shoaib and Anuradha incorporated eerie elements and suspense in their act to give the song a hauntingly beautiful rendition on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Blown by the innovative choreography and storytelling, judge Farah Khan said, “Hats off! When I saw your outfit, I thought you were doing a take on Om Shanti Om, but you completely reversed the roles, and Shoaib, the double prosthetics you wore were something I’ve never seen before. On top of that, you had a mask on. To do this entire act in one take is mind-blowing. Even Juhi was surprised and asked me how you managed to do this. This is a broadway-level performance. I feel like I’ve got the story for Om Shanti Om Part 2 now.

Stunned by the visually striking act, judge Malaika Arora said, “The emotions that were running in the act, I felt every bit of it. It felt like I was witnessing a scene from a film. It gave all kinds of feels — broadway stage, theatre, TV, or the big screen. It was so real. There have been various kinds of horror acts on this stage, but this is probably the best horror act I have ever seen on Indian television.”
