Shoaib Akhtar has added a 'no dancing and crooning' clause to his contract for his role as a judge on the newly launched Indian comedy show, Mazaak Mazaak Mein. 

A source from the set of the show revealed, “He may have been fierce on the field as a cricketer, but shaking a leg on stage gives him jitters. Since it’s a reality show, he thought that the makers might ask him to sing or dance on stage to up the entertainment quotient. So he included the clause to ensure that it doesn’t happen at all,” reports Deccan Chronicle.

The makers of the show are stumped by the request, but are conceding to his demands.

This is not his first appearance on Indian screens. Akhtar has earlier appeared on Comedy Nights with Kapil and Ek Se Badhkar Ek.
