Shahid Kapoor is ready for his small screen debut and will be stepping into Madhuri Dixit Nene's shoes as the judge of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. And now, we have some more dope on Sasha and his starry dance reality show. It seems that the actor wanted to have a perfect debut and hence wanted East India Comedy to write the show. However, the EIC team turned down this offer. Shahid and EIC share a good rapport and have in fact worked together earlier for International Indian Film Academy Awards.
A source told BollywoodLife, "Shahid was keen on working with East India Comedy for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa as well. He hasn't directly approached them, however channel (Colors) tried their best to persuade EIC who turned down the offer citing issues. EIC is known for a certain kind of comedy, which they felt did not fit Indian television viewing and hence did not accept this offer."
