The entry of Indraneil Sengupta and Barkha Bisht into 'Nach Baliye 3' was exciting enough, but what really pepped the episode was the guest - Madhuri Dixit.

The original dancing queen had a lot of fun on the set, and, we suspect, her presence reduced any apprehension that the new jodi might have had about getting into the show halfway. Indraneil, however, denies that he was nervous.

"We were very excited and happy about our inclusion in the show. We have to work very hard, as the standards are high, and the judges strict," he says.

"We will have to compensate our delay with hard work and good performance," he adds. Apparently, the couple agreed to enter the show only after the channel, STAR Plus, confirmed that none of the other jodis had a problem. Incidentally, this jodi's favourite pair from last season is Hussain-Tina, who are also the hosts this year.
