Jhalak Dikhla Laa Jaa is the Indian version of the American reality show, Dancing With the Stars. It typically takes stars who are not supposed to be experienced dancers and couples them up with an experienced professional partner of choreographer, and the combination is supposed to perform dances of different styles, going week by week and with a star getting eliminated along the way, until it reaches the finale where a winner is chosen. The winner of last year, Jhalak Dikhhla Ja, Season 5, was Gurmeet Chaudhari. The series is happening on the Colors channel and started on June 1, 2013.
The show is hosted by the pair of Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma. Every year, there is a struggle to ensure that the judges are bigger celebrities, although judges such as Remo D'Souza have also made a lot of name for themselves through various dance programs on TV, through being the judges on these various shows, and also on other shows where they become the master of a team and teach the contestants on how to do a dance and perform on the show based on this dance. The biggest celebrity star judge this time is Madhuri Dixit, with Karan Johar being another star judge and Remo D'Souza being the third judge.
The contestants this time are from a wide cross-section, although like very year, the biggest section of contestants come from TV, and are typically TV actresses, with some of them looking to make a name for themselves again while others such as Drashti Dhami are already there on TV currently and have made a name for themselves.
