"Nach
Baliye
3" is
all
set
to
rock
the
dance
floor
by
the
end
of
next
month.
The
10
couples
of
the
show
have
been
announced,
and
this
time,
the
pairs
are
a
mix
of
Bollywood
and
television
artistes.
Here
they
are.
1.
Sweta
Keswani
and
Alex
O'
Neil
Sweta:
I
am
finding
it
hard
to
translate
the
lyrics
of
the
songs
to
English
for
my
boyfriend
Alex
as
he
is
not
comfortable
with
the
Hindi
language.
There
are
lots
of
differences
between
us,
the
main
one
being
the
height.
He
is
double
my
height
and
I
have
to
keep
looking
up.
But
I
will
manage.
I
am
practicing
really
hard
as
this
dance
show
is
a
first
for
me.
Alex:
You
saw
me
rehearsing,
so
it
is
needless
to
say
how
hard
I
am
working.
I
am
not
very
familiar
with
the
Hindi
language
and
hence,
there
are
many
words
in
songs
that
I
don't
understand.
So
I
could
not
match
up
to
Sweta's
expressions.
But
I
will
try
my
best
to
cope
up
with
it.
2.
Karan
Patel
and
Amita
Chandekar
Karan:
I
love
dancing
and
I
am
sure
I
will
do
well.
However,
it
is
hard
for
me
to
manage
both
work
and
the
dance
show.
I
have
not
participated
in
such
a
show
before,
but
I
have
done
something
similar
in
college.
Amita:
I
am
not
that
a
great
dancer,
but
yes,
I
am
practicing
hard
for
the
show.
I
have
to
match
up
with
Karan
and
I
promise
that
I
will
not
let
him
down.
I
will
always
support
him.
3.
Rakhi
Sawant
and
Abhishek
Awasthi
Rakhi:
This
time,
there
will
be
no
controversies
on
the
show
as
everyone
is
my
friend.
I
am
not
even
insecure
about
anybody.
Nor
are
the
other
contestants
scared
of
me.
We
should
never
consider
anybody
less
than
us.
Hence,
every
participant
is
my
competitor.
I
will
surely
make
a
mark
here,
if
I
don't,
"laanat
hogi
mujhpar"
(shame
on
me).
I
am
ready
to
face
any
kind
of
challenge
as
I
am
working
very
hard
for
"Nach
Baliye".
I
will
show
everyone
what
dance
truly
means.
Abhishek:
There
will
be
no
controversies
in
"Nach
Baliye"
as
I
am
here
to
protect
Rakhi
this
time
around.
We
are
a
working
very,
very
hard
for
the
show
and
we
are
sure
we
will
succeed.
Every
participant
is
competent
but
we
are
not
scared
of
anybody.
4.
Shakti
Kapoor
and
Shivangi
Kapoor
Shakti:
I
wish
these
days
never
get
over
and
I
keep
on
dancing
with
Shivangi.
We
are
doing
this
show
just
for
fun
and
not
to
win
it.
After
so
many
days
I
am
getting
the
chance
to
spend
quality
time
with
my
wife,
which
I
couldn't
do
all
this
while.
Before
I
married
Shivangi,
she
had
already
won
four
or
five
dance
competitions.
So
it
won't
be
very
hard
for
us
to
dance.
My
energy
level
is
very
high
and
I
am
like
the
other
young
contestants.
In
fact,
I
feel
younger
than
them.
Shivangi:
This
is
for
the
first
time
that
I
am
dancing
with
my
husband
and
I
am
very
happy
about
it.
We
are
spending
so
much
of
time
with
each
other
after
so
many
years.
I
am
extremely
excited
about
the
show.
We
need
to
practice
a
lot
and
we
are
doing
that.
5.
Vikas
Sethi
amd
Amita
Sethi
Amita:
I
am
trying
to
cope
up
with
my
husband's
star
image.
I
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
he
doesn't
feel
let
down
by
me.
Being
an
airhostess,
dance
is
a
completely
new
thing
for
me.
This
is
the
first
time
that
I
m
appearing
on
television
with
my
husband,
and
that
too,
for
a
dance
show.
I
find
it
extremely
hard
to
dance,
though
I
am
practicing.
I
am
not
a
good
dancer
at
all.
Vikas:
I
will
make
her
dance,
though
I
know
it's
hard
for
her.
She
is
extremely
hardworking
and
she
is
practicing
a
lot
to
match
her
steps
with
mine.
This
is
the
first
time
that
we
are
appearing
together
on
screen,
so
I
am
sure
we
will
rock.
6.
Karan
Grover
and
Kavita
Kaushik
Kavita:
When
we
were
first
approached
by
"Nach
Baliye"
we
refused
as
it
seemed
hard
to
us.
But
later,
we
thought
of
giving
it
a
try
as
there
is
no
harm
in
having
some
fun.
For
me,
there
are
a
lot
of
competitors
like
Rakhi,
Pooja
and
Kashmeera
on
the
show.
But
my
main
critic
is
my
partner,
as
he
is
a
perfectionist
and
keeps
me
on
my
toes.
I
am
always
scared
of
missing
or
forgetting
a
step
as
he
scolds
me
a
lot
if
I
do.
Karan:
I
am
an
average
dancer.
It's
not
that
I
am
always
after
Kavita
and
pushing
her
towards
perfection.
It's
just
that
whatever
we
do
should
be
done
in
a
correct
and
complete
way.
We
both
are
practicing
a
lot,
as
this
is
for
the
first
time
that
we
are
working
together
on
a
dance
show.
7.
Aamir
Ali
and
Sanjeeda
Sheikh
Aamir:
I
am
very
excited
that
I
am
participating
with
Sanjeeda
in
a
dance-based
programme
for
the
first
time.
We
have
never
performed
before.
I
will
try
my
best
to
dance
well
and
keep
my
word.
Sanjeeda:
I
cannot
express
my
excitement
in
words.
Aamir
and
I
are
appearing
as
a
couple
for
the
first
time
before
the
audience.
We
are
practicing
our
item
very
hard.
8.
Kashmeera
Shah
and
Krishna
Abhishek
Krishna:
We
are
not
trained
dancers
but
we
will
put
up
our
best,
as
we
are
very
much
in
love.
That
will
show
in
our
performances.
All
lovers
keep
making
high
claims.
But
on
this
show,
I
will
prove
how
much
I
love
Kashmeera
and
what
I
can
do
for
her.
Kashmeera:
I
hope
these
days
never
end
as
they
are
the
most
romantic
and
fun-filled.
I
love
dancing
and
so
does
Krishna.
And
I
am
sure
that
we
are
going
to
enjoy
ourselves.
9.
Kiran
Jhanjani
and
Ritu
Jhanjani
Kiran:
Ritu
is
totally
unaware
about
the
world
of
cinema
and
television.
This
is
for
the
first
time
that
she
is
appearing
with
me
on
a
dance
show.
But
we
both
are
very
excited
as
we
have
always
been
eager
to
do
advertisements,
videos
and
such
shows
together.
But
we
never
got
the
chance,
maybe
because
of
our
age
difference.
This
is
the
first
time
that
we
are
doing
a
show
together
and
we
both
are
very
excited
about
it.
Ritu:
I
was
so
very
shy
to
dance
in
front
of
Kiran.
Now,
god
only
knows
how
I
can
dance
in
front
of
anybody,
and
not
just
Kiran.
This
is,
of
course,
a
very
new
field
for
me.
But
yes,
I
assure
Kiran
that
I
will
not
let
him
down
as
I
am
really
practicing
very
hard
for
the
show.
10.
Pooja
Bedi
and
Hanif
Hilal
Pooja:
When
our
choreographer
first
met
us,
he
was
very
happy
thinking
that
he
had
got
the
best
of
the
couples.
He
presumed
us
to
be
trained
in
the
art
but
when
he
saw
us
perform,
he
was
very
shocked.
Sometimes,
Hanif
gets
very
irritated
when
he
finds
it
hard
to
match
up
to
my
latka-jhatkas
which
I
love
doing.
Earlier
too,
we
had
participated
in
a
dance
show.
But
there,
Hanif
was
my
choreographer.
Here,
he
is
my
partner
and
we
have
a
different
choreographer.
So
the
things
are
very
different
here.
Hanif:
We
are
very
dedicated
to
the
show
and
we
are
working
very
hard
for
it.
Our
choreographer
is
very
worried
as
he
is
the
one
who
will
have
to
come
up
with
the
dance
steps.
Earlier,
he
thought
that
we
were
the
finest
dancers
on
the
show,
but
now
he
has
changed
his
mind".
