The dance fever catches again! After the monumental success of it's first season, Star One's Nach Baliye 2 makes a grand comeback, in a larger than life avtaar. After much speculation, the 10 jodi's are finally unveiled, and the audience is in for a major surprise!

Executive Vice President, Content, Star India, Deepak Sehgal throws light on the slight change made in the the format of this brand new season, "There won't be any eliminations in the sixth, seventh and tenth round. Also, we will introduce a wild card in the fifth round, wherein an elimminated couple can bounce back in the show." He further adds, "Instead of last year's 10 rounds, we will conduct 13 rounds."
Coming to the couples, to match the Sachin-Supriya jodi, is our all time favourite Gujarati couple Rasik and Ketaki Dave. "We are not thinking of NB as a mere competition. We are here to have fun and give our 100 per cent to it," states Ketaki, who is till date acknowledged as Daksha of Kyunkii... while Rasik was last seen in Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka years back, and he is now concentrating on theater.
Hiten and Gauri, who are a blend of confidence and coyness, have something different to offer. "I can't dance for nuts! Hiten too is not that good, but his confidence will help him scrape through," affirms Gauri.

Hussain who is very kicked about the show says, "This is the best gift Star could give Tina and me. She loved the first season, and now she, herself, gets to be a part of this dance show, which is like a dream come true for her!" Tina, who is not a suave dancer as her hubby, is trying her best to match up to his level.
Arjun Punjj and Gurdeep who are slated to get hitched this December, too are excited to be a part of this show. "As our D day is not too far, I don't know how I'll handle this show," states Mr. Punjj.
The surprise package of this season is the Gaurav Chopra-Narayani Shastri jodi. After denying their relationship ad infinitum, this dua will publicly exhibit their chemistry on Nach Baliye 2. Need one say more? But they are still clinging on the 'best friends' tag (heights!). "We are the best, and yes we will win," is what a confident Gaurav says.
Moving on, the other couples who will be seen rocking the stage are

Manav Gohil - Shweta Kawatra, Bhaktiyar Irani -Tanaaz Lal, Sharad - Keerti Kelkar, Yash -Gauri Tonk and Shweta Tiwari - Raja Choudary.
Talking about the judges, ace choreographer Saroj Khan and the vivacious Maliaka Arora will continue to be the best critics, while director Farhan Akhtar has opted out as he's busy with the post-production of his upcoming flick, Don. Replacing him will be noted director Kunal Kohli (of Hum Tum and Fanaa fame).
With all these bewitching jodis all set to sizzle on the small screen, let's see who develops cold feet, who encounters a memory lapse and who takes the centre stage!
