But one of the main people who will miss the stage will be none other than the Dance India Dance Season One winner, the handsome hunk, Salman Khan.

According to our source "Salman will be present in the first episode where he will declare in front of the audience that he will not continue the show due to date issues."

We contacted Salman and he confirmed saying "Yes, I will be present only for the first episode of the show. Even though I have done the promo shoots for the show, I won't be able to continue the shoot because of my prior commitments."

"I cannot say no to Zee TV because it gave me the platform where I gained the name and fame, but at the same time they approached me late. Nevertheless, I will be coming in the first episode and will announce the news to the audience personally", signs off Salman.

The stage will definitely miss Salman. __________________

Gosh im so excited for this show!!! but just a few questions. in the article it says jeetumoni (he even came to DID doubles to promote dance ke superstars with vaishnavi), but in the pictures there's rituraj instead of jeetu. so my question is if there was a typo in the article or is it really jeetu?

i'd read previously that salman was also in this show and i think i even saw him in one of the promos for dance ke superstars. but his name is not mentioned in the article nor is he in the picture. do any of you guys know for sure if he's in the show or not?

Lastly, i feel like when it comes to the captains of the team the Season 2 team immediately have an advantage because jeetu and vaishu were definitely the better dancer from Lil' Masters. i feel like it would be fairer if the pairing for the captains among the 4 kids were different. i love jeetu and vaishu jodi, they've done so many dances together as a jodi in lil' masters and i am looking forward to seeing them together again. however im just saying what i typed earler by looking at things from a fair point of view. i cant believe how big the kids have grown since we last saw them in lil' masters, especially avneet. she's become so pretty. i remember her being the tiny cute one along with anurag.wow, has it really been that long?

Shiamak Davar to judge 'Dance Ke Superstar'




Ace choreographer Shiamak Davar has been roped in to judge Zee TV's upcoming dance reality show "Dance Ke Superstar" where top contestants of the channel's flagship show "Dance India Dance" will compete against each other.

Dancers like Shakti Mohan, Siddhesh Pai, Mayuresh, Dharmesh, Prince, Vrushali Chavan and others from the first and second season of "Dance India Dance" will be seen burning the dance floor.


Shiamak, who has choreographed popular numbers in films like "Dil To Pagal Hai", "Taal", "Bunty Aur Babli" and "Dhoom 2", among many others, is upbeat, but nervous about his role as a judge.


"Dance is worship for me and I am really excited about being a part of 'Dance Ke Superstar' as it has such amazing talent across different dancing styles. Having all of them together on one stage will certainly make for some dazzling performances and tough competition And the one thing that I am certainly dreading is to choose the best amongst them. Each of them is brilliant in their own way," Shiamak said in a press statement.


The show will go on air in April.


This is not the first time that Shiamak is judging a reality show, he was on the judges panel for "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 2".

Dancing Ke Superstars goes IPL/DPL way




Like the Dance Premiere League which was designed on the IPL format, Zee TV is launching Dancing Ke Superstars to counter IPL on weekends.
This show will have the same format as DPL. There will be no eliminations and scores of each team consisting of past Dance India Dance participants will be added to the team's total.


The five-week contest will end in a finale between the two top teams. Meanwhile, Mithun Chakraborty has opted out of the show.


Apparently, he was not keen on sitting in the Grandmaster's chair because he felt that the show had nothing new to offer.


"Ideally, he would like to judge a brand new season and not a remix version of past seasons. On the channel's request he has agreed to be present for the first and final episodes," says a source close to the actor.


In Mithun's absence, Shiamak Davar will be the senior-most judge on the show.

DID Season 2 winner Shakti Mohan and Binny Sharma are the next big names to miss out of Zee TV's next biggie, Dancing Ke Superstars..


The upcoming season of Zee TV's flagship show Dance India Dance titled as Dance Ke Superstars might just not prove true to its title.

TellyBuzz had already reported about Salman Khan, the Winner of Dance India Dance Season 1 opting out of the show!! There is more bad news coming, as the Season 2 winner Shakti Mohan has also backed out of the show at the last minute.. If that's not enough, the talented Binny Sharma who got into the limelight for her flawless performances in DID 2 will also not be part of the show..

A little birdie tells us, "While Salman cited date issues, Binny Sharma who is presently busy with her Zee fiction show Sanjog Se Bani Sangini has quit the show after she realized that she is not able to devote much time to the reality show. Shakti Mohan is doing a fiction show on Channel [V] titled Dil Dosti Dance, produced by Cinevistaas which revolves around dancing. She is now hesitant to take up Dancing Ke Superstars as she feels that the reality show clashes with the concept of her show D3. The surprising part however, is that the two girls Binny and Shakti were present at the press conference of the new Zee show, and their sudden decision has left everyone stunned".

We hear that Vandana Joshi who bagged the lead role in Dil Se Diya Vachan after her stint in DID has been approached to step into Shakti's shoes. Parvez Rehman will be replacing Binny Sharma, while Paulson will come in for Salman Khan…

When contacted, Binny Sharma confirmed that she is no longer part of Dancing Ke Superstars, "Yes, it is true that I will not be seen in the show. Frankly speaking, it was a tough decision to make as the stage of DID has been my identity. But I could hardly squeeze out few hours for my rehearsals, and that was not fair at all. I have learnt everything from that stage, and I will want to better my previous performances if I take part in it. When all the contestants are rehearsing 24/7, I felt really bad to give just 2-3 hours to rehearsals. Considering the professional commitments I have now, I think I have taken a wise decision. God willing, the stage will call me soon".

We tried calling Shakti Mohan, but she remained unavailable.

Meanwhile, there were reports of Grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty opting out of the show, but we hear that the fact of the matter is that he wan not even supposed to do Dancing Ke Superstars...

Fingers crossed!! Hope we don't have any more upsets in the show now!!

The Mohan sisters are a bundle of talent for sure. After Neeti who mesmerised the audience with her beautiful voice in singing reality shows like Music ka Maha Muqabla and Channel V Popstars, her younger sisters Shakti and Mukti have also proved themselves by burning the dance floor. While, Shakti has already made her mark by winning the Dance India Dance 2 title, Mukti is making her presence felt in Bollywood.



After an attempt at doing comedy in Comedy Circus, Mukti will soon groove on an item number in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s film Sahib, Biwi aur Gangster. She has been shortlisted for Karan Johar’s Student of the Year and Sajid Khan’s Houseful-2. “I am thrilled to have finally have something to look forward to in my kitty,” trills Mukti.


Meanwhile, Shakti will regale her DID fans once again in the new series Dance Ke Superstars. She’s also playing a lead in Channel V’s first of its kind dance fiction show Dil Dosti Dance along with her DID co-contestant Kunwar Amar.



Well, all we will say is go get it girls, you deserve it!

Team Jalwa bags first 'ten on ten' in Dance ke Superstars...

Zee TV's Dance ke Superstars made a great start last week and ended with mind blowing performances by the teams Josh and Jalwa. In spite of the dancers giving their hearts to the dance, none of them got their perfect full from the masters.

But this week dancers of team Jalwa will create history…

A little birdie from the sets informs, "This time Ruturaj and Vaishnavi from Jalwa team performed a sublime contemporary style on the track of Pehla Nasha… which was majorly liked by Master Remo Dsouza and Sir Shiamak Davar. As always, when the contestants were waiting for their comments, both the masters broke their best comments for both the dancers."

"Shiamak Davar commented the performance as a Super Cracker while Remo made their day with his much awaited comment, 'That's what I call a performance'", says source.

"Apart from these comments, for the first time both the judges gave ten on ten marks to the performance. With this Vaishanvi and Ruturaj made history scoring the first ever full marks this season", signs off the source.

Besides this eye pleasing performance, Dharmesh too performed on a contemporary style which was out of his regular style and got words of appreciation from both the judges.

Don't forget to watch the mesmerizing performance by Vaishnavi and Ruturaj this week on Zee TV's Dance ke Superstars.....

Post Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, Yana Gupta to perform for Zee TV's Dance Ke Superstars...

Team Josh and team Jalwa are all set to pull up their socks to give their best by competing each other in Zee TV's Dance ke Superstar. But this week, apart from our Masters, Remo Dsouza and Shiamak Davar, there will be a trio who will grace the show.

A little birdie from the sets quips, "This week, Yana Gupta, Vinay Pathak and Lara Dutta appeared as the celebrity guests in Dance ke Superstars. They had come to promote their upcoming movie Chalo Dilli. Also, Yana Gupta performed on the track Laila O Laila, one of the item numbers from the movie."

Talking about the team Jalwa and Josh a source says, "There was a face off round between Punit and Mayuresh on a contemporary style. And this time, surprisingly, Punit took away the appraisal and appreciation from the masters, leaving behind the contemporary style expert Mayuresh. There was also a group performance by both the teams on folk style. At the end of the episodes, team Jalwa scored ahead of team Josh."

We contacted Yana Gupta and she was happy to comment, "Being on the sets of Dance ke Superstars reminded me of Jhalak, as I got a similar experience of performing a dance in one take. But frankly speaking, I felt relieved that I just had to dance only once and could walk out unlike Jhalak. I really enjoyed performing it, as I love the song Laila… Also the choreographers Vinod and Sumit choreographed the song very nicely."

Get ready to witness the sizzling Laila on Dance ke Superstars…

Siddhesh Pai takes away the spotlight in Dance Ke Superstars


Siddhesh Pai dons a new avtar for his performance; gets MJ band from Remo Dsouza in Zee TV's Dance ke Superstars...

This week could be called as Siddhesh Pai's week in Zee TV's Dance Ke Superstar as the talented dancer stole the limelight of the show. Apart from Siddhesh, Ruturaj and Vaishnavi too created history by getting a hat trick and were awarded the performers of the day on Friday's episode.

A little birdie from the sets informs, "Rajeev Surti was the celebrity judge this week. And Siddhesh Pai mesmerized the audience with his performance and the judges with his stunning performance where he donned the avtar of a lady and performed few item numbers."

As our source further informs, "This time the face off round was between Dharmesh and Siddhesh for which Siddhesh got ten on ten for his performance and Dharmesh missed the bus. Siddhesh was even awarded with the MJ band for his solo performance on Saturday."

We contacted Siddhesh Pai and he was very happy to say, "I just can't believe that I got MJ band from Remo sir because I didn't expect it from him. And talking about Dharmesh's and my face off, I never really wanted to battle against Dharmesh in the Face-Off because, we both belong to Geeta Ke Gang. But it was a very nice experience to dance with Dharmesh on the same stage."

Siddhesh goes on, "It feels that Dance ke Superstars this week was specially made for me because I got very much appreciated by all."

As Siddhesh's performance was the highlight from the team Josh, no doubt team Josh won the week's competition by few numbers.
