Madhuri Dixit and Malaika Arora Khan are judges on the fourth edition of the show.

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is back with a new season, an interesting line-up of celebrity contestants and dancing diva Madhuri Dixit for a judge. She played cupid on the small screen with Kahin Naa Kahin Koi Hain, a marriage-based reality show that intended to serve as a platform for girls and boys in search of a life partner. Dancing diva Madhuri Dixit, who rocked the '90s with her performance in Dil, Saajan, Beta, Khal-Nayak and Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! among others, is back on the small screen to judge the fourth season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Speaking of her first love, dance, she says, "Dancing is my passion. So, when the channel came to me with this offer, I jumped at the opportunity. I felt that I would be able to do justice to this show as a judge because dancing is my first love." The actress, who will be in India for the next three months, adds, "Till the show goes on my husband will have to play mom to my kids. But I will not be able to stay in India for long as I need to get back to my family in Denver. When I was leaving for the show, they were really excited and said that they'll watch me on TV."

Madhuri will share the judges' seat with choreographer Remo D'Souza and Malaika Arora-Khan. Hosted by Mona Singh, who is also the winner of the first season, and Sumeet Raghavan, the dance reality show that airs on Sony has twelve celebrity contestants fighting it out on the dance floor. This season, the show has an interesting line-up of contestants including boxer Akhil Kumar, Indian Idol contestant Meiyang Chang, actor Shekhar Suman, item-girl Yana Gupta, singer-turned-TV anchor and ex-Channel [V] veejay-singer Anushka Manchanda. To add to the list are Govinda's nephew Krushna Abhishek and niece Ragini Khanna (Suhana of Sasural Genda Phool), who will cross swords with each other on the dance floor. Former actress Renuka Shahane Rana, a mom of two, will make a comeback on the small screen with the show. Last, but not the least. are the lead pair of Zee's Pavitra Rishta Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande, who will be compete with each other and Mahi Vij aka Nakusha of Laagi Tujhse Lagan. But, the surprise on the show is Dayanand Shetty, who plays Daya in CID. His entry was quite unexpected as no one thought that the reel-life toughie would shake a leg. Guess, one needs to wait and watch to see how many of these stars will manage to show their jalwa on the show.
