This weekend, Sony Entertainment Television's celebrity dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, will air a special episode celebrating the ravishing Raveena Tandon. Bringing back memories from the 90s with their performances, the contestants will perform some of Raveena's iconic songsand pay tribute to her cinematic legacy in the 'Raveena Tandon Special'.

Amidst many exciting moments, renowned Indian cricketer, Yuzvendra Chahal, will grace the stage to support his wife, Dhanashree Verma. Dhanashree Verma, and her choreographer, Sagar Bora, will present a performance that will narrate Dhanashree and Yuzvendra's beautiful love story to the song 'Tumse Jo Dekhte Hi Pyar Hua'. The choreography beautifully depicted the milestones of their relationship, from the magical moments of falling in love to the unbreakable bond they now share.

Impressed by the act, guest Raveena Tandon said, "It was such an energetic and strong performance; I couldn't take my eyes off from you. Sorry, Sagar, you are a fantastic choreographer, but today, your student has surpassed you. She was on fire and with the energy she put in, she took the stage by storm. Literally, Dhanashree, the power in your performance was just fantastic. And I know how difficult it is for girls to get that extra power that reaches the screen and the audience; that's challenging. And you have met that challenge."

In a candid moment, talking about his excitement of seeing Dhanashree perform live, Yuzvendra Chahal said, "This is the first time in 3 years that I'm seeing Dhanashree in a live performance. She always used to come to support me in my matches, standing beside me like my strength; it used to give me a boost and now I have the chance to come here and support her. After her injury, I am seeing her dance after 14 months."

Furthermore, the sports personality, who has represented India in chess and cricket internationally, further sheds light on his love story and says, "At that time, the lockdown was going on, and for the first time, I was at home for 3 months. Since childhood, I had a desire to learn dance, and we have many common friends, so I asked if anyone teaches dance, and that's when I got Dhanashree's recommendation. I messaged her on Instagram, and her reply came after 10-15 days. Then the classes started, and for 2 months, I was a very sincere student. When offline classes started, something else happened (laughs). One day, we were randomly talking about how even during the lockdown, you remain cheerful, while everyone is worried. From there, our conversation started, and slowly, things progressed."

Yuzvendra Chahal will also spill the beans about Punjabi tunes being a regular jam in the dressing room, and apparently, Virat Kohli is the ultimate dance floor king of the squad!
