Madhuri Dixit used to be the reigning queen of Bollywood when she suddenly got married and went off to USA. Recently, she tried to make a comeback into the film industry with her movie Aaja Nachle (2007) but the film bombed at the box office. Recent reports suggest that Madhuri is all set to make her debut in the small screen. Madhuri might become the judge for the next season of ‘Jhalak Dikhla Ja’. The actress has been approached by the makers of the show to be on the judging panel. Madhuri gave her nod to show after going through all the details and she is all set to make her debut in the small screen. Madhuri’s last movie Aaja Nachle was released in 2007 and it did not make a big impression in the audience’s mind at all. Although the film was not a hit, film critics loved her performance. Throughout her acting career, Madhuri has been known for her dancing skills. Some of her biggest hits include “Ek Do Teen”, “Dhak Dhak”, “Choli Ke Peechche” etc. so she is the perfect choice for the judging panel.
‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’ season 5 is going to be a bigger hit and it will feature some of the biggest names in the entertainment world. The show is produced by BBC Worldwide and quite a few celebrities have been approached to become a part of the fifth season. Renowned Bollywood actresses Shilpa Shetty and Urmila Matondkar judged the previous seasons of ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. Let us hope Madhuri wins back the hearts of millions of fans with her presence in this popular dance reality TV show. Remo DSouza might be the second judge on ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. This show is going to be a spinoff of the famous American show ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
Dancing queen Madhuri Dixit Nene is returning to small screen as judge. She will be judging a dance reality show on Sony TV, ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. She is one of the judges.
Says a source close to the channel, “The channel had approached the actress and Shahid Kapoor to be judges on the show as both are excellent dancers. Madhuri is reality show on dance and has more or less committed to it.
Only the last formality the money is being discussed.” Shahid is yet to confirm his presence.
Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sourav Ganguly were also approached to judge the show but they declined citing dates problem. The shooting will kick-start from the first week of January.
Rikku Rakeshnath, Dixit-Nene’s business manager, says, “The channel will make a proper announcement once everything is final.”
In 2002, Madhuri debuted on TV with matchmaking reality show called Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai but soon it went off-air due to its low popularity.
