New
Delhi:
After
stepping
into
showbiz
with
Bigg
Boss
and
having
a
dream
wedding
on
television,
Rahul
Mahajan
says
reality
shows
are
helping
him
manage
his
expenses.
The
39-year-old,
son
of
late
politician
Pramod
Mahajan,
is
currently
a
participant
on
the
dance
based
show
Nach
Baliye
with
wife
Dimpy
Ganguly.
Rahul
said
these
reality
shows
have
always
come
to
him
as
a
life-saver.
Talking
to
PTI,
Rahul
Mahajan
said,
"I
have
a
very
different
career
in
TV.
I
think
nobody
has
ever
got
so
many
opportunities.
I
became
popular
with
Bigg
Boss,
got
my
life
partner
without
spending
a
single
penny
from
my
pocket.
Went
to
honeymoon
when
I
was
judging
Comedy
Circus
and
now
Dimpy
and
I
are
doing
Nach
Baliye.
So,
I
can
say
that
my
expenses
are
being
managed
by
reality
shows."
The
couple,
who
tied
the
knot
on
the
reality
show
Rahul
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayega,
were
in
the
Capital
recently
to
hunt
for
the
12th
pair
for
the
fifth
season
of
Star
Plus'
celebrity
dance
show
Nach
Baliye.
Rahul,
who
is
from
a
non-dancing
background,
credited
his
wife
for
being
a
good
dancer
but
admitted
he
is
having
a
tough
time
learning
the
various
dance
forms.
Rahul
Mahajan
said,
"I
was
a
pilot
before
and
have
never
tried
to
dance.
When
I
got
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
Nach
Baliye
and
told
my
mother
about
it,
she
started
to
laugh.
She
said
I
have
been
doing
everything
which
nobody
in
my
family
has
ever
done.
"I
am
learning
many
new
dance
forms
here
but
I
must
say
they
are
really
taxing.
It's
because
of
Dimpy
that
we
are
managing
good
scores
everytime.
Had
I
been
asked
to
participate
alone
in
the
show,
I
would
have
been
eliminated
on
the
very
first
day."
Recently,
on
the
show
Nach
Baliye
5,
Rahul
Mahajan
paid
a
tribute
to
his
father
Pramod
Mahajan,
with
whom
he
shared
a
very
close
bond.
In
the
act,
Rahul
takes
Dimpy
down
the
memory
lane
on
the
song
'Kitni
baatein'
from
Lakshya.
The
touching
performance
brought
tears
to
the
eyes
of
all
contestants
and
judges.
Rahul
Mahajan
said,
"When
I
came
on
the
show,
I
didn't
know
that
dance
could
actually
make
it
easy
for
me
to
express
my
feelings
without
saying
anything.
But
this
act
was
not
aimed
at
gaining
marks
or
votes.
It
was
just
a
tribute
to
my
father.
We
actually
chose
the
song
'Papa
Kehte
Hain' but
it
didn't
work
out
at
the
end."
Asked
whether
he
would
like
to
follow
his
late
father's
footsteps
and
join
politics,
he
said,
"No,
I
don't
feel
like.
It's
something
which
I
will
never
do."
