'I don't want to dance with my
fiancee on screen'

Iqbal Khan refused Nach Baliye 2 because he didn't want to drag his fiancee Neha to television

The makers of Nach Baliye 2 recently asked television actor Iqbal Khan to join the show with his finacee Neha, considering his huge popularity among female fans. But the actor refused.

Iqbal, who is planning to walk the aisle with Neha early next year, seems to have reservations about asking his fiance to dance on television. "Pati sab ko entertain kar raha hai… ab patni ko bhi le kar aaoon kya?" jokes Iqbal. (Isn't it enough that the husband is already entertaining the audiences, why drag my wife into it too?)

The actor seems says he didn't want to force her to do something which she would be uncomfortable doing.

"I am working 16 hours a day, doing two shows simultaneously. Now if I had agreed to do Nach Baliye 2, then I would be spending few more hours on rehearsals and then the shooting. I think it's not humanly possible to work beyond 16 hours a day. I am working so hard, only to make my own house and get some security in life. Frankly speaking, I get to meet Neha only on Fridays and I don't want to spoil things by going for rehearsals. I have nothing against couples who are comfortable doing the show with their partners, but it's my personal choice not to dance with Neha on screen," says Iqbal.

The actor was recently in Kolkata for a day, to shoot for Ekta Kapoor's new serial Karam Apnaa Apnaa. Incidentally, the lead actress of the serial was scared and she couldn't deliver her lines properly.

"Yes, I did read about this. But do I look that scary?" he laughs. "Jokes apart, I think she is a very good actor and we have not even spoken beyond formal 'hello'.

Iqbal is disappointed with the fact that he couldn't binge on mishti doi and sandesh during his stay in Kolkata.

"I reached early morning and we were shooting non-stop. By the time we packed up, it was too late. Next morning, I was back in Mumbai. I hope some fan from Kolkata sends me mishti doi," he says.
