Former
Indian
pacer
Sreesanth
says
he
is
not
following
the
current
season
of
Indian
Premiere
League
(IPL)
matches
as
he
is
busy
with
his
stint
in
a
dance
reality
show.
The
31-year-old
cricketer
will
be
seen
in
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa,
where
he
will
be
competing
against
12
other
celebrities
with
his
choreographer
Sneha.
"I
am
not
watching
IPL
7.
All
my
time
is
consumed
by
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa.
I
am
devoting
eight
hours
everyday
practising
and
learning
new
dance
forms.
Otherwise,
I
watch
previous
seasons
of
Jhalak
on
YouTube," Sreesanth
said
in
a
group
interview
here.
Sreesanth
is
banned
for
life
by
the
BCCI
for
his
alleged
involvement
in
spot-fixing
in
IPL.
The
cricketer
is
hoping
that
his
involvement
in
the
show
will
help
him
overcome
the
bad
phase
in
his
life.
"The
show
is
helping
me
deal
with
the
bad
phase
in
my
life.
My
family,
and
especially
my
wife
support
me.
Marriage
has
changed
me
as
a
person
and
when
I
got
the
opportunity
to
start
afresh
with
Jhalak...,
I
grabbed
it,"
he
said.
Sreesanth
married
longtime
girlfriend
Bhuvneshwari
Kumari
in
December,
2013.
Kerela-born
Sreesanth
has
flaunted
his
dancing
skills
earlier
as
well,
his
act
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan
during
a
stage
show
became
popular.
"I
am
a
trained
dancer
but
never
took
part
in
a
competition.
Music
and
dance
is
in
my
blood.
All
my
family
members
have
given
a
lot
of
preference
to
art.
Being
from
a
South
Indian
household,
it
was
mandatory
in
the
family
to
learn
extra-curricular
activities.
I
learnt
dance
till
my
high
school,"
said
Sreesanth.
Apart
from
the
dance-reality
show,
Sreesanth
is
also
making
his
debut
as
a
film
music
composer
and
lyricist
for
a
Tamil-Telugu
film.
