She’s got the moves

The show,which started on December 12,sees Malaika Arora-Khan and choreographer Remo D’Souza as part of the jury,alongside Dixit. “I am very pleased to have them as judges on the show,” she says,flashing her million dollar smile. With celebrity contestants including ex-model Yana Gupta,boxer Akhil Kumar,actor Shekhar Suman,Renuka Shahane and singer Anushka Manchanda amongst others,Dixit is excited. “It is interesting to watch celebrities to take on the stage. They are all untrained and that’s what makes it exciting,” she says. Interestingly,it is believed that TV star Sushant Singh Rajput was a student of choreographer Shaimak Davar and is a trained dancer. “Taking part in a competition is very different from simply knowing how to dance. In this competition,the contestants have to excel in dance forms like jive and samba too. It will be tough,” she says.

Irrespective of the celebrity judges and high-profile contestants,Dixit’s presence on the show is undoubtedly the main attraction. But will she be able to successfully fill the shoes of Amitabh Bachchan,whose show Kaun Banega Crorepati 4 has been replaced by JDJ 4? “I am under no pressure— I am just having a lot of fun. I am excited to watch the contestants dance and my job will be to guide them. I will give them positive comments so that they are encouraged to do better,” she says.
