Episode 2

United we stand

The 6 primary contestants get their family to dance on their behalf, as per the format of the show. This episode witnessed some rocking performances by the relatives who had come in to help the six contestants. The points scored with the help of the family are added on to the total team scores.

The chosen numbers

Hussain performed on 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', Sharad Kelkar on 'Singh Is Kinng', Sonia Singh on 'Honth Raseeley', Akshay Anand on 'Mast Kalandar', Roma Bali on 'Silsilay yeh Chahat Ka' and Mazher on 'Khaike Paan benaraswala'.

A big blow

Akshay was dancing to the song 'Mast Kalandar' and looked very confident. But just after 3-4 steps he blanked out and forgot his steps. He wanted to stop in the middle but Mahroo along with the Saas team encouraged him to continue dancing because according to the format of the show you cannot be given a second chance. Akshay did a good try and started picking up again but he failed to get back into the rhythm. At the end of the performance Longi appreciated Akshay for his confidence and also said that its only possible for a seasoned performer like him to maintain his composure at such a crisis. Even Arunaji felt that what happened to Akshay was very normal and can happen to any performer. But it was really brave of him to keep on performing.
