Her
last
appearance
on
the
bada
pardah
was
for
her
film
Aaja
Nachle.
This
time,
Madhuri
Dixit
Nene
returns,
but
to
the
small
screen.
She
will
be
seen
on
Sony
TV's
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa
as
one
of
the
judges.
Says
a
source,
"The
channel
had
approached
the
actress
and
Shahid
Kapoor
to
judge
the
show,
as
both
are
excellent
dancers.
Madhuri
is
game
for
reality
show
on
dance
and
has
more
or
less
committed
to
it.
Only
the
last
formality
the
money
is
being
discussed." Shahid
hasn't
yet
confirmed
his
presence.
Out
of
contention
Other
celebrities
approached
were
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu
and
Sourav
Ganguly
but
both
declined,
citing
date
problems.
The
shooting
for
Jhalak
starts
November-end
or
the
first
week
of
December.
A
source
close
to
the
actress
says,
"She
is
doing
the
show.
She
loves
dance
and
feels
it
will
be
a
great
way
of
interacting
with
people.
The
channel
wants
to
make
a
proper
announcement
next
week
after
finalising
all
the
judges,
so
she
won't
be
able
to
talk
about
it
now.
The
show
begins
from
January
next
year."
Rikku
Rakeshnath,
Dixit-Nene's
business
manager,
says,
"The
channel
will
make
a
proper
announcement
once
everything
is
final."
Mad's
last
TV
outing
In
2002,
Madhuri
made
her
debut
in
television
when
she
hosted
a
matchmaking
reality
show
called
Kahin
Na
Kahin
Koi
Hai.
She
introduced
prospective
brides
and
grooms,
and
guided
them
and
their
families
through
the
process
of
knowing
each
other.
Madhuri
would
also
give
them
tips
on
love.
However,
reality
TV
was
still
a
new
concept
then
and
after
the
initial
excitement,
the
show
failed
to
garner
the
required
eyeballs
and
was
taken
off
air.
