Beginning with the romantic title track of ?Saathiyan?, Irfan & Toshi will cast their musical spell on Rani as one sees their vocal chords at its peak. The scintillating performance by Harshit & Priyani, on the peppy number ?Koi Mil Gaya? from Rani?s first super hit ?Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? leaves the actress speechless. The talented duo of Abhaas & Ishmeet who perform on the foot-tapping number of ?Nach Baliye? from the movie ?Bunty Aur Babli? leaves Rani swaying in her seat. Enthralled by the mind-blowing performance, Abhaas receives accolades from Rani as she tells him that no matter what, he is the Voice of India for her, and she leaves Abhaas overwhelmed as she declares that he should be her playback singer if she ever plays a male character.
A brand new show to enchant and indulge your love, it gives all lovers a chance to do or die...well, not exactly....but they are given three tasks. If they succeed in all the three tasks, they get whatever their loved one wants - a solitaire, an apple g4, a Louis Vitton ensemble, a holiday in Bora Bora, a year‘s supply of chocolates, etc.
Aadesh Shrivastav is a man who has hit tunes to his credit. But when it came to shaking a leg he was caught on the wrong foot and has now been declared the first celebrity contestant to be voted out of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa - Dancing with the Stars. It was the first elimination round and Aadesh may be the first to go, but it his to his credit that a man who has never ever danced in his life took up the challenge from his son to take part in the show. Despite his hectic work schedule where he is recording songs till unearthly hours of the night, being a celebrity judge on a musical show and with high temperature it is to his credit that he still made time for back breaking rehearsals. It came as no surprise to him that he was eliminated. "I am happy that I took part on the show and was able to shed my inhibitions and picked up a few dancing steps. I now intend to dance whenever I can!" he says with a smile. His only regret is that his choreographer Tina had to pay the price for his two left feet.
