"Bigg Boss 8" contestant Sonali Raut has also been approached to participate on the reality show.

The last season of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" had Shahid Kapoor, Ganesh Hegde, Malaika and Lauren Gottlieb on the judges' seat. Manish Paul hosted the show and engaged in a lot of humour and fun throughout the season.
