Singer Shaan, currently among the top 10 contestants on the show, even sang Pran's evergreen number "Yaari hai imaan mera" from the 1973 film "Zanjeer".
Pran died July 12. He was 93.
All the contestants and jury came together on the stage, while a picture collage of the late actor, Bollywood's most loved villain, was displayed on the LED screen.
"It was a very emotional moment as the jury and contestants remembered the legend together," said a source from the show's set.
The episode featuring the tribute will be showcased on the weekend.
"Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6" is co-judged by actress Madhuri Dixit, filmmaker Karan Johar and choreographer-director Remo D'Souza.
Besides Shaan, other contestants vying for the winner's title are Karanvir Bohra, Drashti Dhami, Siddharth Shukla, Mukti Mohan, Sana Saeed, RJ Mantra, actor Karan Patel, actress-dancer Lauren Gottlieb, and "India's Got Talent" winners Sonali and Sumant.
