Karisma Kapoor was seen alongside the familiar judging duo Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis, with Jaaved Jaaferi also joining the set for the latest shoot. Her return adds star power and credibility to the show, which continues to be one of India’s most loved dance competitions. The chemistry between the judges is expected to be a major highlight of the upcoming season.
The new season of India’s Best Dancer is set to premiere on May 9, 2026, airing on Sony Entertainment Television and also streaming on Sony LIV. With television and digital platforms working together, viewers will be able to enjoy the performances anytime, anywhere, making the show more accessible than ever.
This year’s theme, “India Wala Dance,” focuses on showcasing authentic Indian dance styles and storytelling through movement. The idea is to celebrate cultural roots while encouraging contestants to push creative boundaries. With such a strong concept, the competition is expected to be more intense and emotionally engaging.
Adding to the excitement, Karisma Kapoor recently made a special appearance on the 50th episode of Indian Idol, where she officially announced the upcoming season. She even referred to herself as the “unofficial fourth judge” of Indian Idol, winning hearts with her playful charm before turning attention to her dance reality commitments.
Hosted by Jay Bhanushali, the new season promises a perfect blend of entertainment, talent, and emotional storytelling. With experienced judges, fresh talent, and a strong cultural theme, India’s Best Dancer Season 5 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated reality shows of the year.
