Yesterday was all about bling, positive vibes and dance! Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7 officially launched their new season at a glamorous event that assured me how promising this season is going to be. Before I delve into the reasons you shouldn’t miss the new season, I want to talk about the small game the hosts played with us. They brought out some people from the media fraternity to dance on stage to know what it feels like to be in the contestants’ shoes. Super fun!

Remo D’souza says when he is out, he’s more casual and his constant formal dressing seems to have constructed another image. So, the awesome choreographer is going through a complete wardrobe change! I saw the difference yesterday itself and trust me, you would want to see it too.

At the same time, diva Madhuri Dixit Nene is geared up to transform from the saris to the skirts! She is also learning different dance forms, trying lifts as well. Wow!

2. The ‘Jhooter’

“Ma’am you’re so pretty” and “Sir, I respect you so much” is not going to work this season! The judges have a lie-o-meter which they call the Jhooter. So whenever someone tries to butter them up with compliments, they will buzz and tell them that it is not happening anymore.

3. Dancing Shoes

There are two pairs of these super glittery and pretty dancing shoes, one males and the other for females if their performances are ‘perfect’. The media who participated in yesterday’s game also won these shoes and they are really gorgeous!

4. Judge no.4: Maksim Chmerkovskiy

The show will go global as proposed by Colors C.E.O Raj Nayak and there will be a lot of different western dance forms that haven’t been done so much here. To make that even more interesting, the judges’ panel will have another judge, who is none other than the Dancing With The Stars 2014 winner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a Ukrainian dance expert and professional Latin ballroom dancer. Yes, the bar has been set that high!

5. You Have To Learn It To Earn It

The judges have decided to be stricter than ever this season. It will no more be easy to get even an 8, let alone a full score. The judges will be challenging the contestants in every way, with dance forms and even with their comfort zones. The performances will venture outdoors as well. What’s more, Jhalak favourites Salman Yusuff Khan and Lauren Gottleib will be called on to challenge the contestants in an exciting dance combat. So this time, every contestant has to learn the best to earn the best.

This season will also entail a lot of twists in the format regarding the kind of dance forms. Believe me, don’t miss it at all!

Here are the contestants once again. Also, watch out for an exclusive quick chat with Purab Kohli coming up!
