Madhuri Dixit has agreed to be a judge on Season 4 of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, the Indian spinoff of Dancing with the Stars, reports Mumbai Mirror.
Madhuri - who stays in Denver, Co., USA, along with her cardiologist husband Dr. Nene and two sons - Arin, 7, and Ryan, 5 - will come to Mumbai in November for filming the show.
Madhuri, 43, dominated Bollywood as a leading actress in the 1980s and the 90s.
An accomplished Kathak dancer, she gave many hit song-dance sequences such as Ek Do Teen (from Tezaab), Chane Ke Khet Mein (from Anjaam), Choli Ke Peechhe (from Khalnayak), Akhiyan Milaun (from Raja), and Maar Daala (from Devdas) among many others.
Following her marriage in 1999, Madhuri opted to become a homemaker.
She made a one off exception to her no films rule in 2007 to act in Yash Raj Films' Aaja Nach Le, an ode to dancing and theatre as an art form in India.
The film released in 2008, but didn't do well at the Box Office, despite a stirring performance by Madhuri, who then returned to her quiet life in the US.
Madhuri received the coveted Padmashri national award from President Pratibha Patil for her contribution to Indian cinema in May 2008.
Madhuri's love for dancing has once again drawn her back to her country of origin.
