If not films, then of course it's TV! The surge in entry of Bollywood actors in judges' panel of various reality shows has turned out to be a surprise. Not only, it's a new medium to be in the public's eye, but a promotional tool to keep reminding their audience about their upcoming films. But are these Bollywood actors competent enough to judge a reality show? Well, we will leave it upto you to decide.

Here's the list of Bollywood actors turned judges:

Shahid Kapoor:

Apart from being in limelight for his wedding these days, actor Shahid Kapoor managed to be in headlines again for his television dbut as a judge. He has replaced Madhuri Dixit in eighth season of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa: Dancing with the Stars. Hence, it will be choreographer Ganesh Hegde, filmmaker Karan Johar and Shahid judging the show. Judging a dance show seems not too bad choice for him as he is an excellent dancer. But will be manage to rule the audience's heart as a judge, only time will decide.

Sonakshi Sinha:

Her status on the social networking websites is active. With five years of existence as an actress in the tinsel town, Sonakshi Sinha has garnered positive reviews from her fans. Now, she is all set for her television debut as a judge in the singing reality show Indian Idol Junior. She will be accompanied by music composer Vishal Dadlani and Salim Merchant, and singer Shalmali Kholgade in the judges panel. A judge for a singing show? Hmmm... quite different. Isn't it?

Preity Zinta:

Actress Preity Zinta made her debut as a judge on the couple dance reality show Nach Baliye 7. Finally, the audience got to see her doing something different. Unfortunately, her judgments on the show have failed to impress audience. But on the first place, was she the right choice?

Hrithik Roshan:

He is the Greek god of the big screen. Seeing Hrithik Roshan dance is something unavoidable. The actor made his television dbut in 2011 with dance reality show Just Dance. He was seen judging the show with film director Farah Khan and choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant. Considering his incessant passion for dance, wouldn't it have been a treat to watch him judging a dance reality show again?

Govinda:

With actor Govinda's phase failed to rework on the big screen, TV seemed to be a right choice for him to start again. His decision to judge the reality show DID Supermoms Season 2 was needed to rekindle his career. Did things work for him is something time will have to answer. But would you like to see him again?

Esha Deol:

While actress Esha Doel couldn't manage to succeed in the filmy world, her decision to be as one of the judges at the Roadies X2! was nothing less than a surprise. Apart from being her dbut show on TV with this youth-based reality show, she had replaced Raghu Ram and Rajiv.

Was it a match or a mismatch? What say?
