Ahead of the show’s launch, Karisma also made a special appearance on Indian Idol during its milestone 50th episode celebration.

Joining her during the announcement was choreographer and long-time judge Geeta Kapur, who urged viewers to shower the same love on India’s Best Dancer as they have consistently given to Indian Idol. Her heartfelt appeal underlined the team’s hopes for another successful season.
The previous edition of the show featured Karisma alongside Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis on the judging panel, a trio that was widely appreciated by audiences. As the new season gears up for its premiere on Sony Entertainment Television, expectations are high for a grand showcase of talent, creativity, and captivating performances.
