Issar, 56, who showed off his dance moves on Bigg Boss, said he is completely fit for a dance reality show such as Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa.
“I have lost 17 kilos of weight on Bigg Boss and
have to shed 10 more kgs. I have proved myself as an actor and now, I
want to show my fans that I am a good dancer too by participating in a
dance reality show. I have already given a glimpse of my dancing skills
during my stint on the show,” Issar said in an interview.
The actor, most famous for his role as Duryodhana in the TV adaptation of the Mahabharata, already has a lot on his plate.

Meanwhile, Issar regrets not being able to make it to the Colors show’s new extension, Bigg Boss Halla Bol.
“I wish I
could be there because I am one of the most physically and mentally fit
contestants. It’s really unfair that the new challengers also have the
chance of winning the show. If I could be there I would have given them a
run for their money,” he said.
Issar, however, said he is
happy that he managed to stay on the show till the end as none of the
previous contestants his age stuck around for more than four weeks.
“I think it’s a record on the
show. None of the above-50 contestants stayed on the show for such a
long time, Moreover, I had a grand exit and all my co-contestants gave
me immense respect, which was a big thing for me,” he said.
The Border actor also credited his wife Deepali Issar for his career, which spans more than three decades.
“What [I am] today is all for my wife. She has been my strength throughout. She made me a calm and composed person,” he added.
