Boogie Woogie days were the best! Saturday evenings were reserved for that show. Glad to see a legend returning. Hope the new season focuses on raw talent and not just drama.

Respectfully, while I'm a fan, I hope the show brings something new. The format of these dance shows has become very repetitive. Jaaved sir is great, but the producers need fresh ideas too.

As someone who grew up watching Indian TV abroad, Boogie Woogie was a cultural bridge. Jaaved Jaaferi has such a positive vibe. Excited for this!

"India wala dance" - love that phrase! It's about time we celebrated our own diverse dance forms on these big platforms, not just western styles. Jaaved ji understands that.

He's such a versatile entertainer. From comedy films like Dhamaal to being a serious dance judge. True icon. My kids only know the new judges, time to introduce them to the original!
