With
more
trained
contestants
performing,
upcoming
celebrity
dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa
7
is
expected
to
get
more
challenging.
The
show
will
see
13
celebrity
contestants-
Purab
Kohli,
VJ
Andy,
Sukhwinder
Singh,
Karan
Tacker,
Sophie
Choudry,
Kritika
Kamra,
Mouni
Roy,
Sreesanth,
Puja
Bose,
Palak
(Kiku
Sharda),
Shakti
Mohan,
Akshat
and
Ashish
Sharma--
vying
for
the
trophy.
Slated
to
go
on
air
from
early
next
month
on
Colors
and
will
be
judged
by
choreographer-director
Remo
D'souza,
actress
Madhuri
Dixit
and
filmmaker
Karan
Johar.
Remo,
who
is
known
for
being
critical
in
judging,
said
with
more
trained
dancers
on
the
show
it
becomes
difficult
for
the
panelists.
"It's
tough.
It
makes
the
competition
cut
throat.
We
are
also
left
speechless
at
times
and
this
time
we
have
contestants
specialised
in
many
dance
forms," he
told
PTI.
Contestants
like
Shakti,
Mouni
are
winners
of
a
similar
dance
based
reality
show
while
Sophie
has
danced
in
music
albums
whereas
VJ
Andy
choreographed
many
performances.
"This
time
participants
have
basic
rhythm
and
music
knowledge
and
that
make
it
tough
for
us.
I
have
performed
many
a
times
but
this
is
the
first
time
my
performance
will
be
judged.
I
am
scared," said
Sophie,
who
has
teamed
up
with
choreographer
Deepak
for
the
show.

Former
Indian
pacer
Sreesanth,
who
took
formal
dance
training
till
high
school,
said,
"I
had
watched
previous
seasons
of
the
show
on
YouTube
closely
and
found
that
this
year
is
going
to
be
tough
because
almost
all
of
us
had
dancing
background."
'Zara
Nachke
Dikha' winner
Mouni
Roy,
however,
said
winning
such
reality
show
does
not
provide
any
edge
over
the
competitors.
"Every
reality
show
is
different.
You
don't
get
brownie
points
in
a
particular
show
if
you
are
already
a
winner
of
similar
title.
Rather
expectations
go
up,"
said
Mouni,
who
feels
Shakti
is
a
brilliant
dancer
and
has
the
maximum
chances
of
winning
the
show.
Kritika
Kamra,
who
is
known
for
her
stints
in
TV
soaps
like
'Kuch
Toh
Log
Kahenge'
and
'Kitni
Mohabbat
hai',
said
the
trained
contestants
encourage
non-dancing
members
like
her
to
work
harder.
The
contestants
are
currently
rehearsing
for
their
first
performance
of
the
season
in
Jhalak
house
at
Versova.
