New judges, our picks

With Karan Johar opting out and Madhuri Dixit still unsure about being a part of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa this season, we list our choices...

Karisma Kapoor
This glam diva has been missing in action for a while now. The last she was seen on screen was in Dangerous Ishq (2012) and on TV as a judge in Nach Baliye 4 back in 2008. It will be nice to bring Karsima out of hibernation to judge Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. After all, she has danced her way to success matching steps with none other than dancing star Govinda with whom she gave several hits. Looking slim and svelte, the yummy mummy can still give the young ones a run for their dancing shoes with her flawless jhatkas. What's more, we will get to see her grooving once again.

Raveena Tandon
From Tip Tip Barsa Paani to Kis Disco Mein Jaaye, this Mast Mast girl has grooved to some popular and sexy numbers. Yet, she hasn't been snapped to judge any of the big dance shows save for Chak De Bachche, that was a kids' competition aired on the now defunct 9X. The actress is making a comeback to films with Bombay Velvet and it will be good to see her returning to to TV too. Besides, she will bring freshness to Jhalak....

Rani Mukerji
From bhangra (Dil Bole Hadippa) to belly dancing to lavni (Aiyyaa), she has done it all. Rani, last seen in Mardani is currently on a break from films, so it will be right time for her take up a TV dance show. She had judged Dance Premier League in the past, but that did not have celebrities. This star-studded show will be a win-win deal for both Jhalak... and Rani, who can display her dancing prowess.

Twinkle Khanna
She is one heroine who never looked back once she called it a day. This mother of two kids, however, looks as sexy as she did when she quit films. And now, the lady has emerged as one of the wittiest writers and columnists. With her film background and droll one-liners, Twinkle will make for a delightful judge on Jhalak. Her witty comments will probably be more engaging than the dances! An apt replacement for Karan Johar, who has bid adieu to the show.

Ameesha Patel
She grooved with none other than Hrithik Roshan in their first film Kaho Na.. Pyaar Hai. Need we say more? The actress is trying hard to make a comeback to films, even producing one herself, but we think she should give this TV show a try. She has been showing off her sexy dance moves at events, so this should be an ideal platform to judge and perform.

Urmila Matondkar
She has already judged Jhalak and a couple of other dance shows, so is quite a pro at it. Last seen in a Marathi film Ajoba, Urmila has been missing from Bollywood. This can get her back on the radar. Dance, after all, has been her forte. Whether it was her spirited dance in Rangeela's title track, sensuous moves in Hai Rama, the raunchy item number Chamma Chamma (China Gate) or the rocking title track Kambakth Ishq, Urmila was a hit.
