There were rumours of Farah Khan replacing the Karan Johar as judge on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. But according to the reports, it is gorgeous Malaika Arora Khan to step into the shoes of Karan.

The dancing diva, who is known for her dance numbers ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya', ‘Munni Badnaam Hui' and ‘Fashion Khatam Mujhpe', will be joining the judges panal consisting of Shahid Kapoor, Lauren Gottlieb and Ganesh Hegde.
