The Kanpur Lad Abhishek Awasthi is known for his dancing skills, but what makes him more popular, is the fact that he is Rakhi Sawant's boyfriend.. Abhishek and Rakhi as a Jodi have garnered lots of fans and have become immensely popular in Nach Baliye 3, with their stupendous performances and amazing chemistry, and have been looked upon as Hot Contenders to the Nach Baliye Crown this Season..

Telly Buzz brings you an interview with Rakhi's Abhishek...

How has your experience been in Nach Baliye?

I have had a great time on this show. We've had loads of masti. its been complete Dhamaal. This show has been like a blessing to me and Rakhi. We have made friends here, to be judged by esteem judges, we have learned so much, so many different forms of dancing, its a world of experience.

Who do you think is the toughest Jodi to beat?

Everyone! Mostly Pooja and Hanif, even Ali and Sanjeeda are too good, Karan has slowly picked up ... so this competition is really fierce...

You got the most appreaciation for the Touch Baliye performance, what's your take on it?

It was the faith of our cheoreographer, and the wonderful tuning that Rakhi and I share is what brought out the best in us. I am glad that the rest of the world could see our efforts and have appreciated what we've done...

What is the strongest point according to you for your jodi?

Its the love and trust that Rakhi and I share, and its the blessing of our parents that makes us what we are today...

In the wild card entry round, who would you like to see come back to the show?

I would really like Kiran to be back, we really miss him...

How different has it been to perform here than performing on stage?

I have done thousands of shows before, but performing on Nach Baliye has been rather difficult. We have to portray different shades and that is what i believe is very difficult to do. On the stage, its easy, we are not being judged so stricktly, so here we do have the added pressure... But as long as people still love us, and as long as God's with us, Rakhi and I will win over all obstacles.. woh kehta hain, himmat de karda, toh darde khuda...

Wishing this Jodi of Rakhi and Abhishek lots of luck for the next phase of Nach Baliye...
