We have all laughed at him because of his comical performances on Nach Baliye 5. But this time get ready to see a never seen before performance by Rahul Mahajan and his better half Dimpy Mahajan. The couple gave a very different performance that not only touched everyone but also gave them goose bumps to the audience and jury.

For the first time on Indian television, Rahul Mahajan paid a touching tribute to his late father Pramod Mahajan. Not only did his act bring tears in the eyes of all contestants and judge Shilpa Shetty, but also everyone present on the set. His efforts put in this act also gave a hint of pain that Rahul had hidden in his heart for last six years.

When Rahul Mahajan was asked what he had to say about the act, he replied, "What happened in 2006 I could not grief with the loss of my father due to circumstances? When I came on the show I didn't know that dance could actually make it so easy for me to express my feeling without saying anything. My performance on Nach Baliye was just a way of expressing what I felt for him."

Rahul Mahajan added, "This act was not to gain marks or votes. I felt that what happened with my father was known by everyone in the country hence I want them to know how I felt about his absence in my life. There were so many bottled emotions but with the help of my wife Dimpy and this platform Nach Baliye, I have finally found my closer."
