Ten couples are practicing hard to enter the battle field and compete with each other but ultimately there can be only one winner
Nach Baliye 7 is just few days away and the wait is indeed killing us. This time Ekta Kapoor has taken over as the new producer of the show and she has twisted the entire show to a completely new format. New judges Chetan Bhagat, Preity Zinta and Marzi Pestonji will be in charge of deciding who did better than the rest, but apparently Ekta will play the maha judge on the show. Here’s a jhalak of the ten couples who will be competing this season…
Karishma Tanna-Upen Patel: They met on Bigg Boss 8, became friends and then decided to start dating each other before the show ended. While it is rumoured that the duo are together only for the reality show, for all you know, they could really be dating. Anyway Karishma and Upen are touted to be the highest paid contestants in the show.
Sana Saeed-Deepesh Patel: So the couple is using the story that they met in Goa where Deepesh owns a restaurant. But sources claim that Deepesh was found as a baliye for Sana Saeed by the organisers. Now we know of this happening before as well but the producers were never involved in it. Guess Ekta can change the game anytime, anyhow.
Mrunal Thakur-Sharad Tripathi: It is indeed quite a unique jodi and a rather cute one too. So dance is not their forte but both Sharad and Mrunal believe in putting their 100 per cent. He is writer in several of Balaji Telefilm shows and is currently working on Ek Veer Ki Ardaas Veera, while Mrunal as you already know is the second lead in Ekta’s Kumkum Bhagya. This couple will definitely raise the cute quotient on the show.
Payal Rohatgi-Sangram Singh: The couple has been together for the longest time. They are both reality show experts considering they’ve been in so many. As for Nach Baliye, Payal and Sangram are determined to win the show and have been over 15 hours into practice. Let’s hope this wins them some brownie points.
Jay Soni-Pooja Shah: It was an arranged-love marriage for this couple. Arranged by Jay’s mother and he almost immediately fell in love with her. Jay and Pooja have been married for almost a year and we believe are still learning each other’s strengths, let’s hope the show and the new format doesn’t push them over the edge.
Smiley Suri-Vineet Bangera: It was love at first sight for the couple and it was dance that brought them together for the first time. Now that’s what we call fate, no? Both Smiley and Vineet are dance instructors and would find this reality show like a cake walk, but it’s definitely not about to be that easy.
Shakti Arora-Neha Saxena: Ekta Kapoor brought them together on her show Tere Liye, even before the show ended, Shakti and Neha were hooked to each other. They are opposites; while she has some experience in dancing Shakti apparently has two left feet. It would be fascinating to see this dancing jodi battle with themselves and the other contestants.
Aishwarya Sakhuja-Rohit Nag: They’ve barely been married for four months. Aishwarya and Rohit first met on the show Hello Kaun? Pehchaan Kaun? It was not love at first sight for them but when things changed between them, even they do not know. They were in a relationship for almost four years before tying the knot late last year. This reality show will definitely put this relationship through the grind and test them to the hilt, let’s hope they pass.
Rashami Desai-Nandish Sandhu: They’ve seen the good, bad and ugly times and still come out with flying colours. Rashami and Nandish met on the sets of Uttaran fell in love, got married then split and have now come back together. There’s a rumour in the industry that the two came back only to do reality shows. After Khatron Ke Khiladi 6, NB7 will be their second reality show together.
Himmanshoo Malhotra-Amruta Khanvilkar: After knowing each other for over ten years, the couple got married sometime in January this year. Himmanshoo and Amruta met on the sets of India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj and have been with each other for the longest time. The couple had a grand sangeet followed by a star studded wedding. Guess they are going to use all the practice they did for their sangeet in Nach Baliye 7.
Every couple on this show has a back story that is very interesting and they’ve all vowed to outperform the other. Let’s hope this season is not just drama…
