Not Maniesh Paul, Bharti Singh to host Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10? Deets inside

Colors TV’s dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa is set to return with a new season and interestingly a new host too. The latest report suggests that show host Maniesh Paul will be replaced by comedian Bharti Singh . However, the makers have not yet made the official announcement.

According to reports, the makers are keen to have Bharti on board and the latter is also excited about the offer. A source close to the development revealed that producers wanted a change as the show is returning after five years. "People might have expected Maniesh Paul to make the cut but this time his name was not considered. Perhaps the makers wanted a change. When Bharti's name cropped up, almost every decision maker in question endorsed it and it became a sort of a unanimous choice," the source told Etimes. The offer is yet to be considered by the comedian as she is yet to sign on the dotted line.
