Pratyusha Banerjee gets eliminated from Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 5! She is not in a good health

Today at 11:47am

With every passing week, the competition is getting tougher on the popular reality dancing show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 which is being judged by three ace personalities of tinsel town, Madhuri Dixit, Karan Johar and Remo D Souza.

The latest news doing rounds is that one of the contestants Pratyusha Banerjee (Anandi of Balika Vadhu) has stepped out of the show due to her ill health. People were wondering that how she would continue performing in the reality dance show with her illness.

Finally, she has been announced as the next contestant to get eliminated from the show. If believe the industry sources then her ill health is not only responsible indeed her performance has also paid an equally important role behind her elimination. Pratyusha was not getting good numbers from judges. Even last week her performance was not up to the mark consequently the tele star fell short on votes.

It is notable that Isha Shravani and Karanvir Bohra performed despite having viral fever but Pratyusha failed to perform as reportedly she had stomach infection. Now, speculations are on the rife that Avika Gor (young Anandi) might replace her on the show.

Well, let’s see what happens nex

Dancing diva Madhuri Dixit has millions of fans, but few have been her diehard fans and television actress Parakh Madan is simply one of them. The beautiful doll of t-town who is currently seen in Niyati is a huge fan of Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit.

The lady is so much in love with Madhuri that she does not shy away from saying that she goes weak in her knees when she sees her on-screen. In fact, Parakh does not miss a single episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, just to get a glimpse of the Bollywood icon.

“I am a big fan of Madhuri and the minute she is on screen I go weak on my knees, especially because I am also a dancer. I am trained in Kathak from Pandit Birju Maharaj who also choreographed Madhuri’s dance in Devdas.”

She added in full excitement “I have heard so much about Madhuri from Birju Maharaj that I have fallen for her. From being an exceptional dancer to being a very down to earth person, she is so very real in spite of being a star.”

Ask her if she has ever met her dream lady she says, “No not yet, but I will be awestruck if I ever happen to meet her.”

Well, we wish you soon get to meet he

Will Madhuri Dixit begin her second innings in a trail blazing fashion

Will Madhuri Dixit begin her second innings in a trail blazing fashion
It is known that Madhuri Dixit has joined the bandwagon of the Bollywood divas who are beginning their second innings and this time contrary to her previous good girl image, the diva is donning bold avatars. The actress will be seen in challenging roles in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang.

Recently, Bollywood diva Karisma Kapoor made her comeback with Dangerous Ishq but the flick could not meet the expected response and same goes with Raveena Tandon whose item song couldn’t create any magic and finally she has been relegated to the small screen. Now, here a question arises that would Madhuri be able to recreate her magic with her comebacks.

Everyone knows that the dancing diva shook the chords of the audience with her debut; she cast a spell of miasma over them. Her journey from Tezaab to Devdas has been incredible, the lady has still the aura and now she is all set to begin her second innings.

But would people accept her the same way before, though the actress got waters tested about her acceptability through Aaja Nach Le, the flick could not do well at the box office but Madhuri was acclaimed for her performance which clearly shows that the diva has still a fiery spark in her that can ignite the screens once again.

Madhuri you are quite unique!

Madhuri Dixit pays tribute to Meena Kumari, Mumtaz and Sri Devi with Jhalak

Madhuri Dixit pays tribute to Meena Kumari, Mumtaz and Sri Devi with Jhalak

This season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa is surely going to be a tough call for all the contestants as this time around dancing won’t be a simple affair.

If one goes by the promos of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 5 to be aired on Colors, it can be seen that dancing diva Madhuri Dixit, as the judge of the reality show, has already made it clear what she expects from the contestants.

The promos of the show are shot with great excellence with Madhuri paying tribute to yesteryear beauties in her own graceful ways. Very first promos of Jhalak takes the viewers dive back into the times of Pakeezah where Madhuri is seen bringing alive the grace and sophistication of Meena Kumari in the song Thade Rahiyo O Baanke Yaar. Though the promo version has been choreographed by the ace Saroj Khan but Madhuri has tried her best to imitate each and every move of Meena Kumari from the classic song with sheer perfection.    

Not only has she given tribute to Meena Kumari but has also paid honor to Mumtaz and Sri Devi. Dressed in a figure-hugging, 70s-style, tight, peach-colored churidaar salwar kameez, Madhuri can be seen dancing to Mumtaaz’s popular song Motiyon Ki Ladee Hoon Main, with absolute aptness and élan. Next in line comes the vivacious Sri Devi, whom Madhuri has re-lived with the song Kaate Nahi Kate from Mr. India. Clad in a see-through sari, she has done full justice to this Sri Devi number, which still fantasies many.

The promos are a sure shot delight to be watched and promise a worth watching dance battle!

Madhuri Dixit set to play gang leader in Gulab Gang

Madhuri Dixit set to play gang leader in Gulab Gang
It has been quite a few months since dancing diva Madhuri Dixit moved back to India with doctor hubby and two sons in tow and now she is seeking to make comeback in films.

Now as per the latest buzz, after last signing Ishqiya sequel, the great actress of 90’s era has bagged her second film that is said to be a gangster’s tale set in rural India titled Gulab Gang. We are sure that the audience must be very much liking that the dancing diva is moving out of her comfort zone

Back in 2007, the last time Madhuri Dixit-Nene made her comeback, she chose a drama – Aaja Nachle, which was a tried and tested set-up. Yet the ideal comeback didn’t turn out as perfect as Madhuri and the makers had expected. The film fared miserably at the box-office!

Perhaps that’s why the veteran actress is making some unconventional choices for her second innings. After nearly six months of announcing her return to Bollywood, Madhuri signed her first film – Dedh Ishqiya. Gulab Gang, Madhuri’s second film also seems like an unconventional drama which won’t have her doing the typical dancing and emoting that she usually does.

Filmmakers Soumik Sen and Anubhav Sinha have signed the once-top-billed actor to play gang leader of a troupe of women who fight for injustice against their ilk.

Let’s hope MD’s decision to not just show off her dancing moves pays off!

We had earlier updated you about Life OK’s new show in offing, Aasman Se Aage, which is said to be fully based on dance.

This show aims at highlighting the true colors of realty TV. After hearing a lot about the show, its star cast, and a lot more, now we have come to know a few details about the protagonist of the show Meenaxi to be played by Ojaswi Oberoi.

It is notable that Ojaswi was last seen as Anokhi in Star Plus’ Behenein. In Aasman Se Aage she will play a dancer who is looking for the right opportunity to make her dreams come alive. Very few know that Ojaswi is very close to the character she plays in reel life. The actress is a trained Kathak dancer and also happens to be a big fan of Madhuri Dixit.

Doing this show is also a lifetime achievement for her as she will get to flaunt off her dance forms. Moreover, the show also gave her the chance of meeting her idol, Madhuri. Talking of the same, Ojaswi said, “Yes, I am very huge fan of Madhuri Dixit she is my idol in dancing and acting. I met her recently while shooting for the promo of our show. I got an opportunity to engage in a chat with her. Initially I fumbled a lot with words but soon it eased out. She is such a professional as soon as she saw my movements she knew my Guruji's name. We both have the same Guruji."

Well, that’s really cool and we hope that the show stands successful!

madhuri dixit queen of dancing diva in bolly wood
No one can deny that Madhuri Dixit was the real charmer of Bollywood and even until now the industry has been unsuccessful in finding her match. And ace choreographer Remo D'Souza gladly accepts this fact and tells why he considers Madhuri Dixit to be the goddess of dancing.

India's hip-hop maestro and dance guru, Remo D'Souza has started shooting for his second and India's first ever dance film ABCD (Anybody can dance).

The film has been shot in 3D and will have Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya, American dancer Lauren Gottlieb in the lead roles. Gottlieb has been a finalist of So You Think You Can Dance and has been featured in films like Disaster Movie, Bring It On: Fight To The Finish and Hannah Montana.

Recently while talking to the sources, Remo spoke of his film and revealed that he is trying to rope in Madhuri Dixit for his next, which will be a musical saga. "Unfortunately, Madhuri Dixit is not in ABCD. But, I am trying to get her for my next film which is a musical saga which will be in 3D," said Remo.

Talking about Madhuri, he says, “Madhuri is the goddess of dancing. She or Sridevi cannot be compared to the current crop of actresses. Madhuri cannot be compared to Kareena, Priyanka or Katrina. People feel jealous of me as I get to sit beside her on Jhalak!"

Well, we would gladly second with him!
