MUMBAI: Over the last 3 decades, Zee TV has been instrumental in providing Indian youth with a global platform to showcase their singing, dancing and acting talent. The channel’s most iconic dance reality show, Dance India Dance revolutionized the landscape of dance in the country when it first began to air in 2009 by introducing us to some truly exceptional dancers and never-before-seen dance styles. But over the last 13 years, the platform has stood testimonial to the sheer passion and love that India holds in its heart towards dance. After giving the audiences a glimpse of this year’s mind- blowing talent through some interesting promos, Zee TV is all geared up to welcome another season of its immensely popular reality show for the youngest dancing talent in the country- Li’l Masters. Season 5 of DID Li'l Masters will premiere on 12th March and air on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 PM, only on Zee TV!
Guiding the talent through their journey this season will be the OG judge of Dance India Dance, Remo D'Souza who is all set to make a grand return after 11 years on the show. Joining him in making a comeback will be the beautiful and multi-talented actress Sonali Bendre who will be seen returning to TV after four years of her last stint on Zee TV's very own kids' acting reality show- India's Best Dramebaaz. The gorgeous diva Mouni Roy will also team up with Remo and Sonali to mark her debut as a reality show judge on the show. Moreover, DID’s favourite entertainer, Jay Bhanushali returns to host yet another interesting season.
Aparna Bhosle, Zee TV Business Head said, "On season 5 of DID Li’l Masters, we plan to delight our viewers with two remarkable, much-awaited Zee TV comebacks - that of Remo D'Souza and Sonali Bendre as well as an exciting reality television debut of the much-loved Mouni Roy. With Jay's effortless chemistry with the kids and an incredible talent pool we've discovered, we look forward to a great season of the show!”
Attempting to unearth some rare, hidden talent from across the country, the in-house creative team of DID Li’l Masters along with the show's production house- Full Screen Entertainment recently opened doors to a new pool of young budding dancers between the age of 3 to 13 years to audition for the show. The judges are now actively looking for the Top 15 Li’l Masters who will later be divided into three teams led by well-known choreographers - Paul Marshal, Vaibhav Ghuge and Vartika Jha. Known as ‘Skippers’, this trio of dancing stars will further mentor the contestants and help them put their best foot forward during their journey on the show.
While it was every young contestant’s own unique dancing style, versatility and merit that made the cut to the television auditions round, what moved the judges as much was the deep passion that each of them held for dance in their lives. Be it Assam’s 5-year-old Adhyashree Upadhyay who took the judges’ breath away with her scintillating dance moves to ‘Hawa Hawai’ or Chandigarh’s 7-year-old Aarav Shreshtha who aims to make his dad’s momo stall world-famous through his dancing, each of these dancing sensations proved that they are, without a doubt, the #DanceKeBaap. Everyone's heart went out to Appun Pegu, an 8-year-old gem from Assam who despite suffering from a heart ailment at such a tender age, excels in various dance forms like- Krumping, Whacking and Hip Hop, she has been advised by the doctor that dancing will help her recover soon.
