Ukrainian
choreographer
Maksim
Chmerkovskiy,
who
will
be
the
fourth
judge
on
celebrity
dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa
7,
says
it
was
a
priviledge
to
share
the
panel
with
actress
Madhuri
Dixit.
The
34-year-old
winner
of
18th
season
of
American
television
series
Dancing
with
the
Stars,
who
shot
for
his
first
episode
on
the
Indian
version
of
the
show,
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa
7,
said
all
the
judges
were
nice
to
him.
"Madhuri
is
just
amazing.
It
was
a
privilege
to
sit
beside
her
and
judge.
Remo
and
Karan
are
great
too.
These
are
people,
who
know
what
they
are
talking
about.
All
were
very
nice
to
me
and
made
me
feel
comfortable," Chmerkovskiy
said
in
an
interview.
The
choreographer
did
not
know
the
'Dhak
Dhak'
girl
and
even
asked
her
to
participate
in
the
show
next
time.
"I
did
not
know
she
was
a
Bollywood
actress.
When
I
posted
my
selfie
with
her
on
Twitter,
it
got
so
many
comments
and
then
I
called
my
mother
who
told
me
that
Madhuri
is
a
big
Bollywood
superstar,"
the
new
Jhalak
7
judge
said.
Chmerkovskiy
performed
a
little
jig
with
the
dancing
diva
and
two
contestants,
Shakti
Mohan
and
eight-year-old
Akshat
Singh
on
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa
7.
"Shakti
is
brilliant.
And
that
little
kid
Akshat
is
great
too.
I
was
also
impressed
by
Sophie.
She
did
a
beautiful
job,"
Maksim
said,
adding
that
he
finds
Kiku
Sharda's
Palak
interesting.
"That's
(Palak)
a
crazy
idea.
I
don't
know
how
he
does
it.
Hats
off
to
him,"
Maksim
said
in
praise
of
Kiku.
The
ace
choreographer
feels
Jhalak..
is
very
different
from
Dancing
with
the
Stars,
especially
in
terms
of
technicality.
"There
are
many
differences.
Our
show
is
more
about
how
technically
correct
the
performance
is,
but
Jhalak
is
about
presentation,
how
beautiful
it
looks.
It
is
lighter,
easier
and
more
about
entertainment,"
he
said.
