<p>After the stupendous response to her presence on dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, it now appears that the channel would have to considerably upgrade her already-impressive, if not astronomical, fee if the star is to appear as a judge on the next season as well.<br /><br />Apparently, Madhuri’s fee is larger than any offered to a reality-show judge in the history of Indian television.<br /><br />Says a co-star who has worked closely with Madhuri: “And why not? She brought so much to the table when she came on board. Jhalak Dikhla Jaa went to another level with Madhuri.”<br /><br />While Sony TV sources are tight-lipped about the re-negotiation, Madhuri is candid enough to admit that another season of Jhalak... is being worked out.<br /><br />“We’re under negotiation. Nothing has been finalised as yet. Let’s see...I really enjoyed my first stint on the show. I am not discounting a second season,” said Madhuri.<br />But for now, she is looking forward to joining her husband and sons in the US.<br /><br />“I don’t know when I’ll be back. This has been my longest stay in Mumbai away from my husband and kids. Though my sons joined me in Mumbai during Christmas, I still felt the distance. At the moment, I can’t think of anything but going back to the people who matter the most to me,” she said.<br /><br />Madhuri also said she hasn’t signed any film during this trip.“I met directors and heard scripts. But nothing that would tear me away from my children,” she said.<br />“I’ve to admit this was a very special visit to Mumbai. I felt extremely welcome. <br />But right now, I can’t say when I’m coming back,” she said.</p>
