Thinking heads at Star One are busy finalising the line-up of celebrity couples for Nach Baliye's third season that goes on air this September. If sources are to be believed, this year has been the toughest in terms of getting telly couples to do the show. While most of the popular faces are busy with their respective soaps, a few 'out-of-work' couples have been demanding a bigger pay packet!
Trade pundits reveal that the hoopla surrounding the show (in the third season) has also died down. An actor on condition of anonymity says, "We need some new elements in the show otherwise it gets a little boring. We are expected to bring in a lot of melodrama just for the sake of it."
Says our source, "These eight celebrity couples have been finalised. This week we start signing the contract papers." The channel, however, maintains a stoic silence over the show. Anil Jha from Star One says, "I have no information on Nach Baliye 3. We might not have a third season."
NO WAY ! Here's a list of couples who have turned down the show: • Iqbal Khan and wife Sneha • Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana • Roshni Chopra and husband Siddharth Anand • Smriti Irani and husband Zubin Irani • Rajeev Khandelwal and Aamna Shariff • Anita Hassanandani and Eijaz Khan
