Amit is learning and Neeru helps him learn with great patience. Now it is time to test her patience! | ||

| Jodi No.9 Delnaaz and Rajiv: The two met in 1993 but then, Delnaaz likes to call themselves "the youngest looking, oldest married couple" among their peers, meaning everybody who looks at them thinks that they have just got married! Rajiv started his career in 1993 with Swabhimaan while Delnaaz has done a lot of theatre plays in English and Gujarati. She is currently doing a Hindi play called Paying Guest. Everything between them seems perfect, except for the fact that only she is crazy about dancing. But, through Nach Baliye, Delnaaz can go back to her passion and not be alone! | ||

Now comes the time to see them co-ordinate and rehearse dance moves as their actual selves. Sai has a great passion for dance and has been learning Kathak for the past 5 years. Let's see if she can bring Shakti up to speed, to dazzle the dance floor! |
