Dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" is gearing up for a new season and various speculations regarding the contestants and the judges have been doing the rounds for quite some time now.
It has been learnt that Shilpa Shetty, a former judge of "Nach Baliye", has given her nod to replace Remo D'Souza in "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8".
Besides, the "ABCD 2" director, none of the previous seasons judges - Madhuri Dixit Nene and Karan Johar - have been replaced.
"There were numerous reports that both Karan Johar and Madhuri Dixit will be leaving the show. But none of them are. It's Remo who has been ousted from the show by the makers. Instead it's Shilpa who's come on board," a source told DNA.
