Last updated on: September 16, 2008 10:29 IST

Vijender Kumar, who brought home India's first bronze medal in boxing at the Beijing Olympic Games, will take part in the fourth season of reality dance show Nach Baliye, along with his girlfriend.

Though reliable sources confirm that he will be a part of the dance show, the boxer was wary of revealing details when we called his residence in Haryana.

"I have been approached by the production house but nothing has been finalised as yet," Kumar told us. He said he will arrive in Mumbai with his manager on Tuesday and discuss the issue with the channel then.

Those confirmed on the show are Jatin Shah-Priya Bhatija, Shraddha Nigam-Karan Singh Grover and Sara Khan-Ali Merchant. Other names making the rounds are Juhi Parmar-Sachin Shroff, Rakshanda Khan-Sachin Tyagi, Shaleen Bhanot-Daljeet Kaur, Reshmi Ghosh-Amit, Mohit Mallik-Additi Shriwarka, Sudeep-his wife, Vineet Raina-Tanushree Kaushal, Mohammad Azharuddin-Sangeeta Bijlani and Kapil Dev-Roma.

According to rumours, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamir Ali -- the winners of Nach Baliye 3 -- will host the fourth season, while Farah Khan will be one of the judges. The show will start in October.
