Arjun Bijlani is missing Madhuri Dixit as one of the judges on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa

The actor, who is busy these days rehearsing for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 9, was in the city to promote the dance reality show when he took time off to sample Lucknow's famous Tundey kebabs.

"Even though I was in Lucknow to promote Jhalak, all my concentration was on the lip-smacking Lakhnawi food," says Arjun, adding, "The moment I checked into the hotel in Lucknow, I was ready to enjoy the famous kebabs, which my team had arranged for me in advance. But the real fun of having Lucknow's non-vegetarian dishes is in purane Lucknow ki galliyan. So, I went to Tundey's in Aminabad for dinner and tried everything that they had to offer!"

Predictably, a crowd had gathered there, keen on getting clicked with the actor. But Arjun's focus was on the food."I somehow juggled between the selfies and the food. Soon enough, the crowd became unmanageable and I had to run from that place but not before I had eaten everything I wanted to, to my heart's content." Arjun, who is one of 12 participants on the dance reality show, says he is missing having Madhuri Dixit as one of the judges on the show. Madhuri has been replaced by Jacqueline Fernandez this season. "Madhuri is a legend and the reality show is not the same without her. You just can't compare Madhuri and Jacqueline. While Madhuri knows the art of judging, it is Jacqueline's first show and she is very young too." says Arjun.


Talking of replacements, the second season of Naagin, in which Arjun featured alongside Mouni Roy, is soon to go on air, but Arjun may well have been replaced in it. "My chemistry with Mouni worked well for the makers but they haven't approached me for the second season. However, I still wish them the best for the show," says Arjun.
