Salman replacing Shahid on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa?

Last updated on: August 24, 2015 12:11 IST

Salman Khan is reportedly done with television for now.

Recent reports of the Bajrangi Bhaijaan hitmaker taking over from Shahid Kapoor as on of the judges on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa have people close to the hit Colors reality show amused.

“Salman hasn’t even been approached for Jhalak.

“The channel would never ask Salman to do Jhalak. They are keen to get him back on Bigg Boss which is Salman’s signature show on television.

“He isn't even enthused about doing another season of Bigg Boss. Why would he agree to do Jhalak?” a source close to the show asks.

The rumours of Shahid Kapoor's ouster are false too.

“He was missing this weekend due to a prior commitment but he'll be back next week. Salman was on Jhalak this weekend to promote his Aathiya Shetty, Sooraj Pancholi starrer production Hero.

One of the judges from Jhalak had this to say:

“We keep hearing that Shahid will be leaving soon. He hasn’t left as of now but he will, soon. But that doesn't mean Salman is going to replace him.”
