Shilpa Shetty
After judging two seasons of the celeb-based couple dance reality show 'Nach Baliye', Shilpa Shetty seems to be in the mood to waltz into a similar yet-to-be-titled show on a rival TV channel. And if sources are to be believed, the actress shall be paid almost double of what she was getting to judge 'Nach Baliye'. Her fee will be — hold your breath — somewhere in the range of Rs 10 to 14 crore, we hear.

"Shilpa liked the concept and decided to take it up since she wanted to experiment with something fresh instead of sticking the same old format of 'Nach Baliye'," says a source.

The actress remained unavailable for comment while a source close to the new show's production unit confirms the buzz and says, "The makers of the show were keen to rope in a popular face, and had approached some A-list actresses, including Shilpa. So, when she responded positively, they agreed to pay a fat cheque to her."
