The judge’s role goes beyond evaluating the contestants; they will also form a dance family based on their talent. The season’s objective is to bring three generations closer, including grandparents, uncles, aunts, and playful kids. The bond between family members will be based on their love for dance, rather than blood relations. Produced by ‘Dreams Vault Media,’ in collaboration with the special partner ‘Rajdhani Besan,’ the show is set to premiere on February 3, 2024, and will air every Saturday and Sunday.
The actress shared her excitement about embracing tradition and taking on the role of a judge once again. She eagerly anticipates co-judging with the energetic and humorous Suniel Shetty. Suniel expressed his honor in joining Dance Deewane as a judge for the first time, alongside dance queen Madhuri Dixit.
Anna further added, “Dance ki deewangi mai bhul jao ye ho nhi sakta or ye Dance ki unique family tum bhul jao ye mai hone nhi dunga” (I can’t forget the enchantment of dance, and I won’t let you forget the extraordinary dance family either). It would be fantastic to see both the judges marking and forming bonds on the show starting from February 3.

Manisha Rani, renowned for her participation in Bigg Boss 17, clinched victory in the 11th season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Defying the odds of a wild card winning a reality show, Manisha achieved this feat on the Jhalak set, securing a cash prize of 30 lakh. Additionally, her choreographer, Ashutosh Pawar, emerged victorious with a prize of 10 lakh. The dynamic duo earned a grand trip to Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

The top five finalists of the 11th season included Shoaib Ibrahim (TV Actor), Sreerama Chandra (playback singer and Indian Idol 5 winner), Adrija Sinha (Actor), and Dhanushree Verma, who is the wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and a social media influencer.

Reflecting on her journey, Manisha expressed, ‘This experience has truly been a dream come true, and I credit it all to the love, support, and encouragement from both the judges and the audience.

Reflecting on her journey, she said that if you were to ask Manisha of 2012, this triumph seemed to be beyond reach, (yeh jeet aukaat ke baahar thi), akin to a fan meeting their ideal Shahrukh Khan at his residence.
