"I had put my stardom at stake. For a star like me to take up a dance show and perform in front of the whole world was not cake walk. The producers had invested heavily on me and the other contestants," Ravi told PTI.

"To get myself judged at this age by the judges and the audience was quite a task and a challenge that I took," he added.

Ravi's decision to participate in the dance reality show was purely because of his daughter.

"I took up the show for my daughter. I wanted her to see that even her father can dance and that I can do all type of dance forms. I wanted her to be proud of me. I think I have achieved it," Ravi said.

However, the 41-year-old actor, who has starred in Hindi films like 'Raavan' and 'Dangerous Ishq', clarified that he never saw himself going too far ahead in this dance show.

"I never saw myself till the end. I think my time had come to leave the show. But I am happy to have got so much love from the co-contestants, judges and the audience.

"I was tired... My body had given up. For nearly two-and-half months I was dancing," he added.

But Ravi says he would continue to learn various dance forms.

This is the second time he is participating in a reality show, after 'Bigg Boss'.
