Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal talk about dance shows and the dash of drama they could do without. Team Viva reports

The two met on the sets of Star One’s show Miley Jab Hum Tum, where they fell for each other. Mohit Sehgal and Sanaya Irani, who tied the knot in Goa last year, are now trying to woo hearts of viewers with their dancing skills in Nach Baliye season 8. “We were offered the show four years back but we were caught up with one thing or the other then,” says model turned actress Sanaya. “I am not a good dancer, Sanaya pushed me for the dance show,” Mohit chips in. More than a bonding exercise, it is also about acquirig team performance skills for them.

Along with perfecting their dance moves, the celebrity couple is also trying to improve their social media habits. “It is not just because public voting is an important part of reality shows, but also because we feel a social platform is the best way to connect with all our fans,” smiles Sanaya.

Sanaya, who has been an ardent follower of shows like So You Think You Can Dance, feels the dance reality shows in India are way too dramatic. “I understand that the format of Nach Baliye is different - it is for the audience to see their favourite actors do something unique. Even the judges keep in mind that they are not judging trained dancers and eventually land guiding you. But when I see most dance reality shows here, I feel we do a little more drama.”

The couple wants to attempt every dance form on the reality show. “I want to grab every opportunity and give my best,” says Mohit.

While Mohit’s current focus is on the dance reality show, Sanaya is waiting for her forthcoming show’s promos to be on air. “After Nach Baliye, I will continue with my acting career as acting is my identity and I love to do that,” she concludes.
