The new dance gameshow on Star One, Nach Baliye, features celebrity couples grooving with relative awkwardness in a show where they have to face a new challenge.

Don't Miss: Behind the scenes of Nach Baliye

Here's a look at five of the Nach Baliye couples:

Mansi Joshi and Rohit Roy

Mansi: Rohit is a very good dancer, so he picks up steps faster. But I have two left feet. We are completely mismatched, as far as dancing goes. I've put in more hard work. Luckily, I am on a break now, so it is not so hectic. Rohit, poor guy, comes to the rehearsals directly from his shoots.

We have fought a lot during the rehearsals. I don't think any of the 10 couples have not fought. If they say they didn't fight, they are lying. But we are still together, so I guess it's okay!

At the end of the day, everyone knows that we are actors and not professional dancers. The judges have been told to keep that in mind. Thank God for that!

Rohit: Initially, we were kicked about working together. We've been wanting to do that for a long time. Mansi is not a very good dancer, but it isn't just about the dance prowess, it's about real people. When I am around, Mansi is more comfortable and confident.

I'm a good dancer but honestly, it does not mean anything. I am more concerned about Mansi. I thought I was a cool cat but that's not true. I'm very nervous. I'm so protective about Mansi that I forget what I have to do. Any husband would do the same.

(Mansi's best known for playing the second Kkusum, and Rohit can currently be seen in Zee's Sarkkar)
