Malaika to judge Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4 with Madhuri

'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4', dancing with the stars, will start airing from December 12, replacing 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 4' hosted by Amitabh Bachchan in its prime time slot. The show has roped in dancing diva Madhuri Dixit and choreographer Remo D'Souza as its two judges of the season. However, the third judge to the panel was not decided until recently when the channel announced Malaika Arora Khan as the third judge to the show.

The Dabangg Munni is very excited about the venture and says that the format of the show is very interesting and above all she will get the rare opportunity to share a platform with the beautiful Madhuri. She said that she had to manage her time to make space for the show, but the hard work is worth doing for 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4'.

Munni says that the level of competition is totally different between the celebrity dancers in 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' and 'Zara Nachke Dikha' to which she was a judge in its first season. The promos of the show have already been shot and the first episode of the show will be shot in this week. There is also a buzz that Malaika will be introduced by dance queen and her mother-in-law Helen on the show, though no confirmed news have yet been announced.

Actor Shahid Kapoor was earlier approached to fill in the third seat as the judge of the show. However, his commitment to his upcoming films didn't allow him to take up the show. It was also rumoured that Salman Khan was approached for the show but his prior commitment to 'Bigg Boss 4' and Colors channel didn't allow him to be a part of the show. Moreover, his personal issues with Sony TV have yet not been sorted out, which is another reason to his denial.
