Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor is all set to return to television as a judge for the fifth season of the popular dance reality show India’s Best Dancer. The upcoming season is scheduled to premiere on May 9, with the channel recently unveiling a vibrant promo that has already generated excitement among fans.
In the newly released promo, Karisma can be seen expressing her enthusiasm about the fresh season and its unique approach.

Speaking in her signature style, she shares that she will redefine what “best” means in a new way, adding that the show will present a fresh dance narrative. She also teased that the competition will feature exceptionally talented performers, calling them “the best of the best.”
Ahead of the show’s launch, Karisma also made a special appearance on Indian Idol during its milestone 50th episode celebration. The episode, dubbed a “golden episode,” served as the perfect platform to announce the new season. During her appearance, the actor expressed her happiness at returning to the singing reality show, where she fondly referred to herself as its “unofficial fourth judge.”
She shared that the celebratory occasion made for an ideal moment to introduce the new season of her dance show. Highlighting what sets this edition apart, Karisma revealed that the focus will be on “India wala dance,” emphasizing styles and performances rooted in Indian culture and identity. Her comments suggest that the show will celebrate authenticity and traditional influences while still embracing contemporary talent.
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.
