Dancing with the stars

Popular television show “Jhalak Dikhla Jaa -- Dancing with the Stars” on Sony Entertainment Television will feature Bollywood’s young actor Shahid Kapur as a special guest this Friday.

The episode will show Shahid wishing happy birthday to his guru Shiamak Davar, who is one of the judges on the show, in his own unique way. He will also encourage the contestants to put their best foot forward on the dance floor.

Shahid, whose latest film “Jab We Met” is ready for release soon in theatres worldwide, will be shown shaking a leg to the hit track “Mauja Mauja….” from the film “Stay”.

As the flavour of the week is Indian folk and “dandiya”, most of the contestants will perform dances to folk songs based on popular Bollywood songs.Actor Sudha Chandran and her choreographer Umashankar have now set the standards for themselves and the others. It will be a tough act for actor Ronit Roy and Nicole, and Prachi and Deepak to follow in Sudha’s footsteps. This time television comedian Cyrus will not be tickling the funny bone of the viewers with his wisecracks but try and give his best dance performance till date. Actor Sandhya Mridul will attempt another scintillating performance.

The judges comprise yesteryear actor Jeetendra, Urmila Matondkar and Shiamak. And no contestant is willing to bid good-bye to the show without a fight.
