Manish Paul rightly introduced Salman Yusuff Khan last night by saying that he first entered the JDJ world as a choreographer, then as a celebrity challenger and now as a contestant himself, soon he may even become a judge!

The ace dancer has been growing with each season to bigger and better avenues. This credit has to go to the fact that this season Salman has entered JDJ with a more determine role in mind, that of a student who is willing to learn. Salman's choreographer Aishwarya Radhakrishnan marks her debut on Jhalak that too assigned opposite the dancing sensation Salman himself! However, this does not deter her from giving her 100 % because Salman does not interfere with the choreography and allows her to have a vision and as per last night's episode, he surely gives it his all.

On the premier episode of JDJ season 9 that aired last night (July 30th), the ever humble Salman thanked everyone for all that the show has given him. Salman and his choreographer Aishwarya were showered with praises galore for their act that they performed with chutki AKA Gaurav Gera revolving around Salsa. Karan Johar said that their act was the most entertaining of the night and there was great camaraderie between Salman and Aishwarya. Jaqueline actually said that "I saw you in ABCD but this is the first time seeing you Live and its something else, a totally different feeling and you nailed it!" They even scored the highest for the night with the judges giving them a total of 25/30!
