Another interesting update is that acclaimed Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre has also joined the show and will be the third judge alongside Remo and Mouni. What’s more, is that DID Li’l Masters will also mark Sonali’s comeback as a reality show judge on Zee TV after 3 long years.

The actress, who quit India’s Best Dramebaaz (IBD) after she was diagnosed with cancer in July 2018, is back in action as a judge on Dance India Dance (DID) Li’l Masters Season 5. She says, “I have been away from the screen for nearly four years, but it seems like the whole world has changed since then. In fact, it has changed for everyone with COVID-19. I had to exit India’s Best Dramebaaz abruptly. With my comeback, it feels that I will complete a journey that I started in 2018.”

Speaking about her comeback, Sonali shared, “My body had gone through so much and I needed to recover, so I started focusing on regaining my strength. When I returned from New York after my treatment in December 2018, I came in a wheelchair, but I did not want to walk out of the airport like that. So, I held on to Goldie (Behl, her husband) and decided that I am going to walk out without a wheelchair. A reality show is physically demanding and one is expected to spend many hours shooting for it. So, I needed strength to be able to go out and do it. I feel my body has done well. I am now ready to go back and get to where I was. Yes, it's been a four-year pause, but I am back (smiles).”
