MUMBAI: Anchor, choreographer, and actor Raghav Juyal has been associated with dance reality shows. He has opted out of this season of Dance Deewane. He revealed that he was left in a lurch when Dance Deewane 3 got an extension. Thus, he chose Dance+ over Dance Deewane.

Raghav shared, “I feel comfortable when I am hosting Dance+. Dance Deewane got extended and my contract was getting over. I didn’t think the show would get an extension and I like hosting shows, which run for a stipulated period of time. Ideally, a music or dance reality show shouldn’t be extended like a daily soap. I had my commitment with Dance+ and I will also be busy shooting for Farhan Akhtar's film. So, I had no choice, but to opt out of Dance Deewane."

On his bond with Dance+ judges Shakti Mohan and Remo D’Souza, he said, “I have been a host on Dance+ ever since it commenced on television. Remo D'Souza and Shakti Mohan are like family to me. Besides, they have brilliant dancers. So, in a way, there is a lot to contribute and learn from the show.”

The actor added, “I don't like dance shows that turn into a sangeet night. I prefer to connect with shows that have innovative dance forms in it. Having said that, Dance Deewane had brilliant dancers and I enjoyed my stint on it.”

Arjun Bijlani has joined the show after Raghav’s exit.
