Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 is the eleventh season of the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. The series was hosted by Gauahar Khan and Rithvik Dhanjani and judged by Arshad Warsi, Farah Khan and Malaika Arora. The series premiered on 11 November 2023 on Sony Entertainment Television and is also available digitally on SonyLIV.
Manisha Rani and her professional partner Ashutosh Pawar were announced as the winners on 2 March 2024, winning ₹30 lakh (US$36,000) and ₹10 lakh (US$12,000) respectively, a mirrorball trophy, and a complementary trip to Yas Island.
Format The couples dance each week in a pre-recorded show that airs on weekends. The judges score each performance out of ten, and the couples are then ranked according to these scores. The public is also invited to vote for their favorite couples using the SonyLIV app. The judges' scores and public votes are combined in a 50:50 ratio.
The bottom-two couples perform a dance-off named Last Chance to Dance in the following week's episode. Based solely on this performance, each judge gives scores to the couple. The couple with the lower total is eliminated, while the one with the higher scores is safe. If it is their only performance, those scores are added to the scorecard; otherwise, they are discarded.
Cast Couples Note: Since the finalists and runner-ups among the Top 5 were only announced, but their actual rankings were not, the average scores of the contestants are determined here for their ranks, following the international format stated in the show.
