GAURAV and WILD card...ARTICLE

Star One's Nach Baliye 2 is exactly at the half-way mark. The next point of interest in the show is: Which eliminated jodi will return, courtesy the wild card? Will it be Gaurav and Narayani, whose ouster exposed the illogical format of the show? Or will it be Sharad and Keerti, whose choreographer (Kiran) accused them of insincerity? The old warhorses, Rasik and Ketki, or the madly in love Arjun and Gurdip? Or will it be one of Star's favourite bahus, Shweta and hubby Raja? The shoot for the wild card round was completed yesterday, and contestants who are still in the fray, were a part of the audience.

Gujju pride
The episode will be telecast on Monday. Thereafter, voting lines will be open to decide which couple will return. However, the public will account for only 30 per cent mandate, while the judges' marks will play a major role in deciding the outcome.

No jodi had left any stone unturned in its preparations. Clearly, none of the contestants have lost interest in the contest or the prize money. Keerti and Sharad were so immersed in getting their act right that they didn't respond to calls. Rasik was virtually out of breath when he reverted back to us at midnight on Tuesday, saying, "Today, we have practised for 10 hours. Earlier, we were putting in six hours every day. We want to come back. Our Gujarati community pumped in few votes the last time since they were busy with Navratri. This time, I want them to vote for us in a big way. There is a Gujju feel in our performance."

Raja revealed that the couple had to throw shyness to the winds considering they even practised in front of their car in Madh Island (where their Bhojpuri film is being shot). He said, "We would play the music on the car deck and start dancing. We can't afford to be shy."

Public appeal
After last week's elimination, Arjun Punjj said that he and Gurdip hadn't had much time to prepare their dance but claimed that they weren't worried. He said, "We have tried many aspects of dancing in this episode."
👍🏼Narayani offered, "We will be as dignified as before, but will say a lot to the viewers through this act."

👍🏼Gaurav chipped in, "You can say that we are out to make a statement this time. Our's is a personalised performance, and not a filmi hero-heroine based one."..
