J.W. Marriot yesterday on 11th February, 2009 saw the curtain raising ceremony for the third season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Jhalak Dikhla Jaa which has been quite popular amongst the Indian viewers are back with their third reality show promising bigger and better this time.

The show kick started with Shweta Tiwari, being the host and looked and sounded quite unusual from her daily soap look. No doubt she was looking amazing but her hosting was no less than in a bubbly-chubbly manner. She acted as a child entertaining and making people make at her jokes.

One by one the participants with their respective choreographers performed on stage, each better than the best. Each and every participant are masters in their respective fields.

To start with is the well known veteran cricketer, commenter, and cricket analyst Mohinder Amarnath (with Lilian), actor Ram Kapoor (with Marischa), the gorgeous super model Gauhar Khan (with Hanif), television heartthrob Karan Singh Grover (with Nicole), silver screen popular actress Bhagyashree (with Toby), magician Ugesh Sarcar (with Tina), the starlet Monica Bedi (with Javed), the Chak De girl Shilpa Shukla (with Nishant), musician Anand Raj Anand (with Rozita), the Bidaai girl Parul Chauhan (with Deepak) and the Punjabi Indian rapper Hard Kaur (with Savio).

It is all woman panels of judges this year with the dynamic dance guru, Saroj Khan, the chirpy bollywood beauty, Juhi Chawla and the passionate choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant. Although except Juhi none of the judges could make it to the event. Amongst the participants Parul and Anand Raj Anand were missing in the event.

The event was a grand one indeed with the reporters and the cameraman and everyone cheering for the participants performing on various numbers. They indeed gave us a "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa".
