Shruti Merchant who is one of the judges of 'Dance India Dance' new season, is the sister of choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant

Shruti has been a choreographer for Vaibhavi's musicals like Taj Express and The Merchants of Bollywood which has toured overseas. A while back, there was buzz that Shruti was keen on acting. For now, however, it seems choreography beckons. Their grandfather B Hiralal was a pioneer in the classical dance choreography.
