The popular Colors show, 'Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa Season 9' may have started on a relatively uninspiring note; but thanks to all the controversies pertaining its celebrity contestants, the show, has been buzzing in town time and again.

And while one gets over the various stories of the past, here is another one which certainly isn't good news for the show. According to a report in a leading news daily, the makers of the show are UPSET with the female judge of the show, Jacqueline Fernandes.

Apparently, the style of judging that the actress practices hasn't been acceptable for the makers. According to sources, what has specifically irked the makers is that at times, she gives a mellow response and lesser scores to few good performances and higher marks with great comments for the not-so-good performances.

Adding to this, the apparent 'long' two hour breaks that the actress takes during shoot is also a hindrance for the makers, as it delays the shoot.

On the flip side, it is also mentioned that the actress doesn't have any sort of starry air to herself and is always ready to shake a leg. But it is the style of judging that the makers would want her to change a bit.

And acoording a leading news portal, Myleeta Aga, SVP and GM, BBC Worldwide, India Content Head mentioned that working with Jacqueline has been a complete joy to work with and that she has openly responded to the show's theme. It was also mentioned how working with Jacqueline has allowed them to explore the creatively challenging angles in terms of production.

It can also be recalled that Jhalak is Jacqueline's first stint as a judge.

Me stopped watching JDJ any more. Few of the contestants are trained and the rest learners, so there is no competition whatsoever except pre-ordained and paid decisions.

Quality of JDJ is decreasing season by season.
And the fact that all the seasons are rigged ruins the experience of watching it.

There is a reason why Dance+ is a hit and JDJ is a flop. The judges should have experience in dance formes, so they can be fair with all the performances. Colors should consider for even continue this show. It might had been a hit few years ago, but it's time to think something different.

She seems pretty nice person but when it comes to judging she is not that good. I think makers and channel should have been more careful while selecting a new judge.

I actually agree. she is a bad judge, can't mark properly. This time as there is no public voting, so the judges should be good. She even is not a good dancer. I don't why colors chose her as a judge of such a big show. i think they should replace her and get a Bette judge instead.

Can she really shake a leg?Like in dance?Can she judge,something she doesn't know about? Please send her on a holiday and find someone who knows what he/she is doing.Plastered smile is only one of the pre-reqs, not all of it.

This was suppose to happen...like neither she can behave like a judge, stop her fangirling, give appropriate comments and scores, nor does she have a image of a judge. She is a good human being, even a okayish dancer but bad judge. This time the entire Jhalak has been messed up.
