After five successful seasons of Nach Baliye, Star Plus brings you the sixth season which has the power to create intimacy and bring people closer. The new season of Nach Baliye aims to give couples a chance to rekindle their romance and deepen their bond through dance. Every expression of dance reveals matters of the heart, every touch creates a sensation and each move of the body will invite the partner to come close.

Nach Baliye 6 will be hosted by popular television actors and seasonal entertaining hosts Gautam Rode and Karan Wahi, who will add their brand of humour and banter to this drama-filled dance show. It will tear the couples away from their humdrum lives, shakes things up and introduce romance and spice back into their relationship.

Talking about the new season of Nach Baliye, Gaurav Banerjee, Executive Vice President Content Strategy, Star India said, “Dancing takes a bold turn this season with the new Nach Baliye. Shilpa, Sajid and Terrence are back with eleven new celebrity couples. The chemistry between the couples and romance will set the stage on fire making it a must watch! Each act is being conceived to show you a vibrant and exciting expression of love. There is nothing subtle about this season.”

Nach Baliye is produced by Frames Productions and this 13 week series will replace the ongoing reality cooking show Junior Masterchef. The new dance floor-scorching Season 6 of Nach Baliye brings together 11 celebrity jodis that include Raju & Shikha Shrivastava, Raqesh Vashisht & Ridhi Dogra, Kanika Maheshwari Ghai & Ankur Ghai, Gurmeet Choudhary & Debina Bonnerjee, Ripu Daman Handa & Shivangi Verma, Yash Sinha & Amrapali Gupta, Kiku & Priyanka Sharda, Bruna

Abdalah & Omar Farooque, Sanjeev & Lataa Seth, Rithvik Dhanjani & Asha Negi and Vinod & Raksha Thankur. The couples this season are a mixed bag of young love stories and seasoned marriages; while Raju and his wife Shikha are married with two kids, Yash and Amrapali have been married for only a year. In some cases, both halves of the couple are actors and TV personalities, whereas in some cases such as with Kanika Maheshwari Ghai and Ankur Ghai, he is a businessman and has never been in the limelight. The dance show will add a whole new exciting edge to their relationship and prove to enhance their love story.

Ashish Golwalkar, Non-Fiction Head, Star Plus, while briefing us about season 6 of Nach Baliye said, "This is a classic tried, tested and proved format running in India since last five seasons and this is the 6th season that we have launched. This is not an international concept but our own original concept based on the Indian psyche and viewership and moreover the basic core concept of the show which is entertainment and the format will never change. The things that will change, are the sets, designs and couples."

"It's not only a dance reality show but also an excuse for actors who are busy to take out some time for their partners. Nach Baliye is not only about the money for them, but far beyond that. The way we structured the last seasons will be carried forward to this season as well," added Golwalkar.

The judge’s panel includes Bollywood’s dancing diva Shilpa Shetty, celebrated choreographer Terrence Lewis and Bollywood director Sajid Khan. Speaking at the onset of this new season, a thrilled Shilpa says, “It is going to be exciting to come back to the sets of Nach Baliye 6. Audiences can expect new couples from different walks of life, exciting chemistry and lots of fun.” Terrence Lewis adds, “The new season promises to be more daring and bold, I am looking forward to spotting some real hidden talent in the couples. Nach Baliye never disappoints.” Sajid Khan sharing his thoughts on the show says, “The drama and entertainment this show brings on stage is addictive. Through dance so much is revealed about the couples, their chemistry becomes transparent and viewers get to know the other side of these stars.”

Talking about the season 6 of Nach Baliye, Hemant Ruprell, Producer, Frames Productions, said, "We are extremely delighted to present another season of the most enjoyed celebrity dance reality show Nach Baliye. Our endeavour is to sustain this legacy of success achieved so far and bring viewers much closer to their favourite stars. We are happy to partner with Star Plus in their vision for Nach Baliye and take it to the next level."

When asked how this season of Nach Baliye will be different from the previous ones although the judges, hosts and format remain the same, Ruprell said, " We've seen multiple seasons of successful shows with same themes and people and I personally feel it works well in India and even abroad. Viewers connect to the same format and people easily, and apart from this, this year we've planned to make it bigger, better and more romantic. This season is going to take the show to the next level as according to me three things which set this season apart are - romance, dance and stories of different couples."

For today’s couples who have no time for their Baliye, dance can become a free spirited and romantic expression of love. The proximity of the couples will increase their bond and bring out passionate moments never seen before on television.

Star Plus is using traditional media such as television, print, hoarding, radio and cinema very actively and also focusing on digital and social media platforms as well. "Nach Baliye as a show even last year was one of the top rated show amongst the younger audience. It also did well in the urban areas as the format picked up faster there. Social media is a big platform and it relates with the urban audience. Nach Baliye last year was trending No.1 across the world as Star Plus is strong in the international market as well. It was also the highest rated show in the U.K. last year," said Golwalkar.
