While speaking to Mumbai Mirror, producer Ranjeet Thakur revealed that Malaika Arora is all set to resume her shooting from Monday after Nora Fatehi stepped in as a special judge for 4 weeks. Ranjeet told the publication, “Yes, Malaika will shoot her comeback episode on Monday. She was in home quarantine for the first 14 days. She tested negative by the third week and wanted a little more time to recuperate before returning to the set. We didn’t want her to take on any stress and immediately agreed. We also didn’t want Nora’s run to end abruptly, we wanted to bid her a proper goodbye.”

The producer further added that as a tribute to Nora Fatehi, contestants will be performing to her songs. Ranjeet Thakur added, “Nora has been eager to work with us for a long time. Ditto, for us. The present circumstances gave us a window and we grabbed it. She is an amazing person and one of the best dancers in the industry.”

He added, “We are planning for a performance by her in the finale, let’s see how it goes.”

Other than Malaika Arora, the popular dance reality show has two other judges - Terence Lewis and Geeta Kapur.
