The ninth edition of Nach Baliye has arrived with a fresh theme.

The dance reality show will have an interesting mix of ex-couples and real life couples as contestants.

Yes, this time, audiences can expect *a lot* of drama on the show!

Produced by Salman Khan, the show will be hosted by Maniesh Paul.

Popular television faces Mouni Roy, Sanaya Irani, Mohit Sehgal, Shaheer Sheik, Rhea Sharma, Zain Imam, Shrenu Parikh, Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim, Karan V Grover, Sanam Johar and Abigail Pande will groove on the dance floor and introduce the jodis.

The jury will include Raveena Tandon, Ahmed Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar.

Will these contestants dance onto your screen when the show starts later this month?

Rajul Hegde takes some guesses:
