"I am very excited to be part of this iconic show because this is the only show which is for the aam janata (general public), who get a larger than life platform to showcase their talent.
"Getting to host a dance reality show is a different high altogether as I know how contestants feel on stage before and after their performance because I have been a contestant once and can relate to their feelings," Shweta said in a press statement.
"Dance India Dance Doubles" will see three judges - Geeta Kapoor, Rajeev Surthi and Marzi Pestonji, apart from 'mahaguru' Mithun Chakraborty.
Shweta, who was the runner-up in the first season of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" in 2006, says she is passionate about dance, and is looking forward to learn a lot while hosting the show.
"I have worked with all three judges in the past and know their individual strengths and I am looking forward to learn not only from them, but also from the contestants, who I believe are far more talented than I can ever be," said the actress, who is a trained classical singer.
She started her career with Zee TV's "Hip Hip Hurray", after which she did a host of acting and modelling assignments.Among her popular serials are "Lipstick", "Saarrkar" and "Left Right Left". She made her Bollywood debut with "Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi".
