"Poonam and Manish can't compete with Sachin-Supriya!"

Saroj Khan

Live Voting: Is a great idea. One-hour voting would also mean that it is fair and performance-based voting!

Sachin Vs Supriya: Sachin was better when they started. Supriya has taken over. Her movements, expressions and even energy have just completely gotten better with time.

Manish Vs Poonam: Poonam is the better one. She has great energy and a range of expressions.

Sachin-Supriya Vs Poonam-Manish: Sachin and Supriya would get my vote as they do dance better! But on a good day, who knows what kind of run for their money — Manish and Poonam could give them.

The round is extensive and tough and if Manish and Poonam raise the bar of their performance — they could make it a tough fight.

Though credit must go to Sachin-Supriya's choreographer. He deserves marks for consistent and strong performance. He has a great rapport with them and they are definitely a stronger team.

One couple you would have brought back: Varun and Rajeshwari. They were a genuine challenge and they were very good. Beating them would not have been easy for anybody.

One song you wish someone had danced on: O Haseena Zulfon Wali — Anybody who would have danced on this was sure to have taken a perfect score. Even when I think of that song and how Helen performed on it, I want to start dancing. Also Shammi Kapoor's Dil Tera Deewana Hai Sanam would have also been a good choice.

One thing you would have changed about the show: I've enjoyed every round, every concept and the way the show has proceeded. I wouldn't really want to tinker with it. Season 2 — maybe?

Nach Baliye Highlight: When these ten couples came on the show, they didn't even know how to lift their feet. Three months, ten episodes and endless hours of practice have made even these non-dancers complete professionals.

Nach Baliye Low point: The way Rajeshwari-Varun got out. I genuinely wish, they had been allowed to perform again.

Balancing Act: All my producers knew that my Saturdays were completely devoted to Nach Baliye. It wasn't tough to manage my commitments at all!

"I am glad I am not in the audience!"

Farhan Akhtar

Live Voting: I am glad I am part of the audience because it would be a tough choice. But India must vote and decide!

Sachin Vs Supriya: The pressure of being a good dancer has taken a toll on Sachin. He's a great dancer and we all have some sort of emotional connect with him. But Supriya seems to have given it all. She has a blast and has emerged as the stronger of the two as the show has progressed.

Manish Vs Poonam: Poonam has emerged as the stronger dancer with a feel to what works and what doesn't. Manish has now even begun listening to her more and the choices she makes.

Sachin-Supriya Vs Poonam-Manish: Both are evenly balanced. Poonam and Manish try difficult and experimental stuff. Sometimes, it worked, sometimes it didn't.That's why their marks are so inconsistent. They just need to give it their best shot today.

Sachin and Supriya need to push the envelope a little. They dance up to a degree and stay in their comfort zone. They need to try something out of the ordinary to take away the crown.

One couple you would have brought back: Varun and Rajeshwari. They were versatile, exciting and continuously reinventing themselves! From classical to salsa, they explored every genre.

One couple who had potential to make it to the finals: Shilpa and Apoorva. Their technical details were perfect but they didn't look like they were enjoying themselves.

One song you wish someone had danced on: The range of songs covered by everyone was quite exhausting. I watched Koi Kahe from DCH closely, when Parmeet danced. It was the first song I'd every directed in my life and he did full justice.

One thing you would have changed about the show: We' agreed to the format beforehand, so I wouldn't have changed anything. Though I did sometimes wonder on days when good dancers got voted out, whether our judgment was making a difference to the audience.

Nach Baliye Highlight: Varun and Rajeshwari in the comedy round. They were fabulous.

Nach Baliye Low point: Delnaaz and Rajeev's last performance. After coming so far, they just let go and took the show for granted!

Balancing Act: Just one day of the week was all I could give because I am busy with the pre-production of Don. Even if they did ask me for anything more, I couldn't really help them with time.

"Women are better dancers!"

Malaika Arora Khan

Live Voting: Is a perfect way to end the ten-week show with a bang!

Sachin Vs Supriya: Sachin's always been known as a dancer. But I think Supriya has come out in the last few rounds as a better dancer. She can do anything and never comes off as being foolish or unbelievable. She's got a certain spark about that makes her very watchable.

Poonam Vs Manish: Poonam undoubtedly! She's a brilliant dancer and proves that women are better dancers.

Sachin-Supriya Vs Poonam-Manish: Sachin-Supriya have always been extremely strong contenders. They have a great vibe, chemistry and comfort that reflects on stage. Their Lavani was perhaps their best performance so far.

Manish and Poonam have worked their way up. They've been bang on, in the last few performances. Though Sometimes, Manish is not giving his all, and seems to kind of... fall behind.

One couple you would have brought back: I pick two; Varun-Rajeshwari and Archana-Parmeet. They were extremely watchable, and are fabulous dancers.

One song you wish someone had danced on: Humko Aajkal Hai Intezaar — from Sailaab. I also wish someone had done a Hrithik impersonation.

One thing you would've changed about the show: The proportion or importance of audience voting. Watching the couples dancing on the sets live is quite different from watching their performance on television. Its tough to judge, energy and enthusiasm on a 21-inch screen!

Judge Rapport: Was almost perfect. We would be cracking up and hope the microphones hadn't caught us in the breaks. Also, we had very different styles — Sarojji is more blunt and vociferous, Farhan is more pensive and calculated. I am more sugarcoated. So it worked out very well!
Nach Baliye Highlight: When Manish asked me out on a date — with the permission of his wife! It was sweet.

Nach Baliye Low point: When couple of my favourite contestants got knocked out. Especially, Shilpa and Apoorva.

Balancing Act: Some days were tough. Especially my performances because I could only give a few hours in rehearsals and I am sure Sarojji would've liked more. There was a lot of pressure on everybody – to get it perfectly right.

But honestly, Saturdays were kept just for the show and I didn't really need to go anywhere to party after that because I was having such a party on the sets… Saturdays have never been so much fun…. As they were on Nach Baliye!

The finalists
Sachin and Supriya

Poonam and Manish
