Dance chance

Celeb jig

The channel describes Nach Baliye as an "anokhi jung with dus mashoor jodiyan". A choreographer is helping the couples through the paces as part of the rehearsals. Nach Baliya will air Tuesday to Thursday, at 9 pm. The first two days will provide an insight into the lives of celeb couples, how they live, who their families and friends are, and how they adapt to married life.

The Thursday episode will feature a dance performance, which will be judged by the jury and viewers. Besides dancing ability, compatibility, cooperation, popularity and coordination will also be judged.

This interactive reality show claims several firsts — the first time that celebs are competing against each other; the first time that celeb couples come together in a show and reveal their private lives.

In hot water

Maninee was in Singapore, shooting for Rakesh Roshan's film, Krrish. "I was having a leisurely hot-water soak in the tub.

BP went down

But the actress says she is quite calm, so did not hit the roof. Her husband, Mihir Misra (who features in the SaharaOne show, Hare Kkanch Ki Choodiyan) was with her in Singapore.

"I kept my cool, just hanging on to the ripped part of my ear. I realised that my blood pressure had gone down, which caused the dizzy spell.

Mihir was there and the hotel folk as well as the Krrish production team rushed to my rescue. People told me to sue the hotel, that the tub-stopper had proved to be a harmful object, but I had no time — I had to continue with the shooting of Krrish."

Playing it by ear

Maninee was taken to a doctor in Singapore, who sewed the ripped portion of her earlobe back.

"The skin is so delicate in the lobe area," she says. "But I had major language problems with him, and at the end, it became a hilarious experience at the doctor's," she recalls. "Anyway, now I am perfectly okay, and so is my ear."

As for her role in the Hrithik Roshan-Priyanka Chopra-starrer Krrish, she says, "I play the effervescent character of Honey, who is Priyanka's friend.

She is the one who orchestrates Krrish coming to Singapore to meet Priyanka. I have finished shooting my part for the film."

TV tracks

On the television front, Maninee is seen in Zee's political drama Sarrkkar, as Yana. "I entered as a blast from the past in Kunal's (Ronit Bose Roy) life.

"But now that he has been bumped off in a copter crash, and his mother Priyamvada (Divya Seth) taken political sanyas, I have the new role of a political aide to Kunal's brother, Karan (Rohit Roy).

Every character of the Sarrkkar family is on a tangent; looks like the onus is going to be on me now," laughs Maninee, who was earlier seen in The Great Indian Comedy Show (Star One) and as the dimwitted secretary Pari, in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin (Sony), besides doing a cameo in the youth-centric Remix (Star One).

Dance paranoia

Maninee will also be seen in the Star One dance show, Nach Baliye. "Mihir and I are dancing to the track of Chori Chori, Chupke Chupke, Hole Hole track from the film Popcorn Khao Mast Ho Jaayo," says the actress.

"It is supposedly a fun show, but everyone is getting paranoid about it. The rehearsals are taking a physical toll. Mihir suffered from a swelling in his lower vertebra. He was rolling in pain and could only lie down flat.

All this while, striking a Kama Sutra pose for the promos of Nach Baliye! Anyway, I am enjoying myself; I had a narrow escape in a bathtub, otherwise I would have been doing Nach Baliye up there in the skies!"
