Husein Tina return as Hosts of NB3

It was only a year ago that Hussain and wife Tina participated in the second season of Nach Baliye and danced their way to the finals and won the contest. Now the champion couple of season 2 is back on Nach Baliye 3 and this time as hosts.

Keeping with the freshness of the new season of the dance show, Hussain and Tina will not only sizzle on the screen with their perfect chemistry but will also perform in some special episodes. "It's really an exciting feeling to host the show in which we were participants a year ago. It was a different challenge then and this year hosting the show is yet another challenge," says Hussain, adding, "In season 2 Tina was almost a non-dancer and now she is an inexperienced anchor. But I am sure we will do a good job."

According to Hussain, Nach Baliye is a special show to them. "We have gone through the journey and know what it is like being part of a competition — the pressure, fatigue, frustration, tears and laughter. Having done it all, we can easily connect with the contestants and the audience. I think we were chosen to host the show because as last year's winners, we have a strong connection with the show," says Hussain who will be free from his commitment to Indian Idol soon.

Ask him whether with his rising popularity as a host, he is giving more priority to anchoring and Hussain says he is an actor who loves anchoring. "Both are important to me. But I am an actor first. Anchoring is not difficult, but it's quite tiring. But if you love your job and go with the flow of the show it is a very enjoyable and satisfying experience," he elaborates. Talking further about hosting a reality show, Hussain says the most difficult part is anchoring the elimination episode. "It's difficult to handle the emotional send off every week. You feel very sad for the eliminated contestants."
