DANCING DEMONS

Finally after weeks of wait, Nach Baliye 2 is ready to kickstart from Monday. And the road to the on-air show hasn't been easy for any of the couples.

Hiten Tejwani has been a worried man with wife Gauri losing two kg in one week. Managing shooting schedules and dance rehearsals in the same day have forced a leaner Gauri to actually redo her wardrobe. Hiten is force-feeding her with pav bhaji lest "she disappears by the time Nach Baliye finishes".

Gurdip and Arjun haven't lost weight but have managed to get their choreographers changed within five days of rehearsals. So, exit Jignesh and Nigar and enter Rajeev and Pinky. The couple's miseries, however, do not end there with Gurdip going down with stomach infection.

Ketaki and Rasik Dave are being billed as the dark horse in the race to the Nach Baliye crown. With the oldest couple Sachin and Supriya winning the contest last time, there is a buzz that the senior participants in Ketaki and Rasik may do the trick this time.

When they were studying in Jai Hind College, Bakhtyaar and Hussain were touted as the best dancers on the campus and even went on to win several inter-college competitions like Malhar. Now, several years later, they are set to lock horns in Nach Baliye 2.

Hussain's wife Tina is so into her dancing routine that she reportedly sleeps in poses that are very close to her dancing postures.

Shweta Tiwari's husband Raja Chaudhary, on the other hand, has been taking dance classes apart from being assigned a choreographer.

Unlike last time, this year the couples are so well prepared that it seems only the trained eyes of the judges — Saroj Khan, Kunal Kohli and Malaika Arora Khan — will be able to pick the best of the lot. Catch all the action on STAR One at 8.30.
