', Shakti Mohan will no longer judge the fifth season this year. The dancer, who has been a captain on the show for the last four seasons, along with choreographers Punit J Pathak and Dharmesh Yolande, has been replaced by Suresh Mukund and Karishma Chavan.

Sources confirm that Shakti was not very keen on judging the fifth season, after not winning any seasons in the past. A source said, “In the past, the other two captains Dharmesh and Punit have won the show with their own respective teams, but Shakti’s team has not been able to win any of the seasons. Shakti had meetings with Remo D’Souza, but nothing really worked out and she decided to finally opt out.”

When BT spoke to Remo, he said, “Yes, I did have a few meetings with Shakti and we were in talks to have her on board, but there were some date issues and therefore, she could not start shooting on the required dates. I don’t think Shakti has any other issues with the team.”

Shakti remained unavailable for comment.
