Jaaved Jaafery criticises present dance reality shows, wants Boogie Woogie 2.0

Actor Jaaved Jaffery expressed his displeasure towards the current dance reality shows. He said that the present shows that air today feel indistinguishable from one another despite the format.

Jaaved, in an interview spoke about the dance reality shows and highlighted, "They all look the same. While the formats evolve, the core presentation rarely does. There's great talent around but when it comes to the shows, nothing really stands out."

"Today, dancers watch everything online and



pick up styles from all over the world. We did not have the kind of exposure back then. Our show (Boogie Woogie) was original. It wasn’t copied. If it ever comes back, it has to be version 2, different and fresh," he added.

The dance reality television program Boogie Woogie aired from 1996 to 2014, and is broadly recognised as one of the groundbreaking talent shows in Indian television history. Jaaved co-hosted and served as a judge on the show, appearing alongside Naved Jafri and Ravi Behl.
