Popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is back on television after five years and audiences are enjoying its run because of the interesting set of contestants the makers have brought in this season. And one of the many known faces who have agreed to shake a leg this year is Dheeraj Dhoopar.

After quitting his famous daily soap Kundali Bhagya on which he worked for almost 5 years, Dhoopar needed a break. Soon after he signed another show Sherdil Shergill opposite Surbhi Chandna and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa too. And when he was doing well on the show for the last 3 weeks, there comes a piece of sad news for his fandom. The actor has quit the dance-based show citing health issues.

Actually, Dheeraj is having a hectic schedule which is taking a toll on his health. He is busy with the shooting of Sherdil Shergill where he will be playing a stand-up comedian. Besides this, he has to practice a lot for Jhalak. And since he has become a father recently, Dheeraj is feeling guilty about not spending enough time with his newborn baby boy, Zayn amidst his tight shooting schedules.

A source close to the Sasural Simar Ka star further stated, “Dheeraj injured himself last week and that affected his performance. With the injury yet to heal it did not seem feasible for him to continue. He discussed the same with the makers who amicably agreed to let him go.”

Besides Dheeraj, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa has Paras Kalnawat, Rubina Dilaik, Nia Sharma, Niti Taylor, Amruta Khanvilkar, Faisu, and Shilpa Shinde, among others. Ali Asgar has become the first eliminated contestant from the show. The judges of the show are Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit, and Nora Fatehi.
