Rockstar Rithvik Dhanjani AT 34 - The Distractor - Page 100

Rithvik Dhanjani chose to co-host Nach Baliye 7 with Karan Patel over his beau Asha Negi with whom he was offered to anchor Indian Idol Junior. It would have been the first time that Rithvik and Asha who met and fell in love with each other on the sets of Pavitra Rishta would have co-hosted a show. Sources say that the actor was first offered Nach Baliye for which he had even auditioned first. "His audition was good, but the makers took time to finalise him because Ekta Kapoor was looking at other options. In the meantime, Rithvik got an offer to hostIndian Idol Junior. Since he did had not heard from the team of Nach Baliye he gave his nod to Indian Idol Junior. But Ekta felt that he would make the perfect co-host with Karan. The team then called Rithvik, who said that he had given his nod to the other show. But when they told him that Ekta wanted him on board, he immediately agreed. He couldn't say no to Ekta."

Incidentally, Rithvik and Asha who are winners of the last season will be performing in the inaugural episode.
