Yeh Nach Nahin Hai Aasaan.


Nach Baliye 3 is slated to go on air from 22 September. With just two weeks for the reality show to begin, rehearsals have begun in full force.

While some of our better jodis have changed their choreographers, other self-confessed non-dancers are getting their steps right with nonstop exhausting rehearsals.

Sweta is busy translating Bollywood lyrics to beau Alexx (who has developed a neck pain), Rakhi has already sprained her leg and Sanjeeda is finding it extremely difficult to match steps with Aamir.

For more on how our jodis are coping up… read on.


Alexx O'neil and Sweta Keswani
Alexx: For me, this is a completely new experience. And to be frank, I'm still not able to do all the jhatkaas and matkaas. I had a terrible pain in my neck while performing a particular step. Also, I'm not too camera friendly so it's difficult for me to dance on such a big stage.I need to brush up my dancing skills as Sweta is a brilliant dancer. The only positive thing is that, I get to spend some quality time with my fiancée.

Sweta: Dancing on Bollywood numbers is not difficult for me. I'm a trained dancer but Alexx is a non-dancer.I have to first translate the lyrics to him and then start the rehearsals. It's quite exhausting !




Pooja Bedi and Hanif Hilal
Pooja: I think we have abundant oomph and share a great chemistry. We're enjoying rehearsals as Hanif is a spectacular dancer and I too love dancing. Despite being slim and trim, my body can only move to a particular style of dancing.

Hanif: Rehearsals are going quite well. I have my own dance troop flame and have organized shows in Mumbai and Pune. So, as a professional dancer, I'm used to performing on various styles.





Rakhi Sawant and Abhishek Awasthi
Rakhi: It's a tough competition and both of us are working very hard. I sprained my leg while rehearsing. Dancing for six hours a day is not such an easy task. The whole day I shoot for my upcoming film and then rehearse in the wee hours of the night.

Abhishek Awasthi: We are working very hard to win the contest. Both of us are enjoying our stint. Being a choreographer, I've not faced any injury as of now. Rakhi does forget a few steps, but I'm helping her to cope with it.





Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh:

Aamir: For a non-dancer like me, it's very difficult to dance to any number. My body is not that flexible and that's why I had a terrible backpain while dancing.

Sanjeeda: Being a trained dancer, dancing on Bollywood tracks is no pain. But its difficult to match steps with Aamir. But the good thing is I've just started losing weight.
