Bollywood choreographer
Saroj Khan and hottie Malaika Arora Khan join director Farhan
Akhtar as judges on the Star One dance show, Nach Baliye. For
Khan, it is a case of channel-crossing; she was earlier seen
as a judge in the Sony show, Dance Dance, along with Vaibhavi
Merchant and Terence Lewis.
Nach Baliye, which airs on
Star One from October 11, will have telly couples battling for
the crown of best dancing duo.
The reality-based show
will also look at the stars' personal lives and dance
sessions, as they prepare to be in step with each other. TV
actors Shabbir Ahluwalia and Sangeeta Ghosh anchor Nach
Baliye.
Dance chance
Says
Malaika, "I am sure someone might just perform my Chaiyya
chaiyya number, so I will be watching every step minutely. But
besides the dance and the choreography, the show is also about
the chemistry between the couples and their style. It's the
overall impact they make."
She says she's looking
forward to a great time on the show. "I will be on the other
side and have my own opinions about the contestants for a
change, rather than others making a comment about me," says
Malaika, who terms herself a fairly good dancer. "Dancing is
all about having fun."
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.
