Watch them redefine breaking traditions, nurturing passion for dance and taking reality television to a new level starting June 16th every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM.

Commenting about the show Raj Nayak, CEO – COLORS, said, “Staying true to our philosophy of cohesive viewing for the entire family, COLORS is proud to present its newest flagship property, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Bringing together an eclectic mix of contestants who will STEP AWAY from their clichés to transform themselves, the show will strike a chord with both – viewers and sponsors.” Speaking on the timeslot, he further elaborated, “We already have a strong weekday line-up which garners good numbers and now with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, we are looking forward to further strengthen our position over the weekend.”

STEPPING OUT of their comfort zones, the 13 contestants will take on everything from Salsa to Bhangra and from Cha-cha-cha to Lavani in a journey that will start with two left feet and lead them to a path of beauty and grace. Judging the stellar line up of contestants will be a panel of three Titans from the world of entertainment – the ever graceful, Madhuri Dixit; entertainment king, Karan Johar; and the man who made dancing a cool career to have, Remo D’souza. These three superstars will be STEPPING OUT of their roles as actor, dancer and director respectively to take on a more wholesome avatar - that of a guide, a mentor and a connoisseur of good dancing!

Making innovation the DNA of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, this season will witness some never-seen-before themes that will raise the entertainment quotient.

The dream cast further includes superstar – Ravi Kishan (with choreographer Kunjan), ghazal maestro and musician – Talat Aziz (with choreographer Ankita Maity), India’s favourite bahus – Pratyusha Banerjee aka Anandi (with choreographer Deepak) and Giaa Manek aka Gopi bahu (with choreographer Nishant Bhat), the heartthrob of Indian Television - Gurmeet Choudhary (with choreographer Shampa Sonathalia), supersized standup comedian Bharti Singh (with choreographer Savio Barnes), Bollywood beauty – Isha Sharvani (with choreographer Salman) , singer – Shibani Dandekar (with choreographer Punit), television anchor Archna Vijaya (with choreographer Sanam Johar)and lastly veteran television and theatre actor - Jayati Bhatia (with choreographer Diwakar). A 13th contestant will add fuel to the fire. Keep watching as the mystery unfolds…
