Rithvik
Dhanjani
preferred
to
host
Nach
Baliye
along
with
Ye
Hai
Mohabbatein's
Karan
Patel,
rather
than
Indian
Idol
Junior
along
with
his
girlfriend
Asha
Negi.
Karan
will
be
seen
hosting
for
the
first
time.
The
reason
for
refusing
to
co-host
with
Asha
is
said
to
be
Ekta.
Rithvik
and
Asha,
who
got
appreciation
for
their
pairing
in
Ekta's
Pavitra
Rishta,
couldn't
say
no,
when
Ekta
asked
him
to
host
her
show.
According
to
reports,
Rithvik
had
auditioned
for
Nach
Baliye
first,
when
went
fine.
But
the
makers
took
time
to
finalise
as
they
were
looking
out
for
other
option.
When
Rithvik
didn't
get
a
call,
he
auditioned
for
Indian
Idol
Junior
and
gave
a
nod
to
co-host
with
Asha.
But
later
when
Ekta
finalised
and
wanted
him
on
her
show,
the
actor
couldn't
say
no
to
her.
Though
Rithvik
and
Asha's
fans
will
be
disappointed
not
to
see
their
favourite
couple
hosting
together,
the
good
news
is
that
the
duo
will
be
seen
performing
in
the
inaugural
ceremony
of
Nach
Baliye
7.
The
couple
had
been
winner
in
the
previous
season.
Rithvik
and
Asha
started
dating
during
their
Pavitra
Rishta
shoot.
They
portrayed
the
role
of
Arjun
and
Purvi
in
the
show.
Recently,
the
makers
of
Yeh
Hai
Aashiqui
had
approached
them
for
a
special
episode
on
their
love
story.
Asha
who
is
seen
in
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi
6,
hurt
her
nose
and
Rithvik
came
all
the
way
to
the
Cape
Town
to
see
her.
The
couple
along
with
other
participants
had
been
for
a
dinner.
