Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8: Shahid Kapoor Dazzles, Leaves Viewers Enthralled! [PHOTOS]

By Girija Narayan

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 hit the small screens over the weekend and after Baahubali and Shahid Kapoor's wedding, all everyone spoke about was the popular celebrity dance reality show and Shahid's entry as the new judge.

The Colors' show marked Shahid's debut as a judge of a reality show for the first time on television. Shahid, who recently got married to Mira Rajput, stole the show without even trying to. Judging alongside Karan Johar, Ganesh Hegde and Lauren Gottlieb, Shahid brought in a fresh spring breeze into the show, which was somewhat lacking in the previous seasons.

Performances of the contestants, which was shadowed by all the disturbance from the visual effects, took a back seat in the premier episode. Not to mention Shahid's opening act, which UN-intentionally set expectations pretty high for the celebrity contestants to match up to.

Shahid and Karan's fun-time being judges brought in a light-hearted feeling to the show, which surprisingly works wonders given the "elegant" and "dignified" comedy that was the staple of the show until now.

Watch it to have fun with Shahid, Karan and Manish Paul (the host of the show), and of course the performances of some of the most-loved television stars (which hopefully gets better and performance-oriented rather than just to showcase new techniques of visual effects).
