They practice for at least two hours every night. Says Tina, "We always begin with a warm-up and gradually become so enthusiastic that our trainer has to bully us into stopping for the day."

Trainer's verdict: Harshall, the Western dance expert and Vitthal, the Indian and folk dance expert are the couple's choreographers. Says Harshall, "The chemistry and dedication that Hussain and Tina share is amazing. Both of them are keen on learning new steps and are a joy to train as they learn quickly."

Yash: I avoid eating heavy food.

Bakhtyaar Irani and Tanaaz Lal
What's their diet?
Tanaaz: Instead of gorging on junk or oil-heavy food, I have been upping my intake of roasted and baked items.
Bakhtyaar: Light breakfast, proper lunch with lots of vegetables. Cornflakes and milk, bananas, almonds and dates are a must.
They practice for six hours a day and also count on the blessings of Siddhivinayak every Tuesday.
Trainer's verdict: Mini Johni says, "When they began they were a bit hesitant about doing difficult moves. Although Bakhtyaar is a professional dancer, he was a bit self-conscious and stiff initially. Moreover, I also had to deal with the fact that they have a fixed image of being comedians. So, I just brought in a slight variatiaon to their acts and retained the element of cuteness."
Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan
What's their diet?
Hiten: Junk food is a no-no.
Gauri: After the painstaking dance rehearsals for Nach Baliye, I gorge on homemade food. However, I eat a lot of roasted stuff which helps me stay fit.
They practice for three to four hours a day.
Trainer's verdict: Arvind Thakur, the couple's choreographer, says, "Hiten and Gauri are not born dancers but are realising their potential now." |
