Jhalak Dikhla Ja Season 9 is all set to start next week and the list of contestants have excited the viewers for the show. The contestants include celebs Karishma Tanna, Arjun Bijlani, Gaurav Gera, Surveen Chawla and many more. This time the ace dancer-choreographer Salman Yusuff Khan will be participating in the show as a celebrity challenger.

But, this hasn't gone well with other contestants, yet they have completely denied the story. Karishma went on to the record and said, "Salman is a good performer and has been brought on the show so that we can get inspired by him." And, Arjun stated, "Salman will be able to raise the bar and others will strive to match his level."

Talking about this controversy, Salman stated, "Being a choreographer, I am in fact under more pressure than anyone else to constantly prove myself and I can never have an off day which is surely a daunting task. Also, my choreographer is Aishwarya who is new to Jhalak while the others have got choreographers who have been a part of JDJ for several seasons but you do not hear me saying that is unfair as I believe in giving it my best and I will do so.We make a great team and I am always grateful for the love and blessings that have come my way that has paved my path in JDJ as a contestant."

This season will be interesting!
