Actor Karan Tacker hosts 'Nach Baliye 8' with actress-comedienne, Upasana Singh. Karan, doing what he does the best, helmed the episode in a classic manner, but Upasana Singh was missing. There is no worry as Upasana was cryptically present through Karan's frequent 'Maa Ka Phone' calls.

Pritam Singh and Amanjot Singh performed on the romantic number, 'Zaalima' from the film, 'Raees.'

Aashka Goradia and Brent Goble performed on the feisty song, 'Bloody Hell' from the film, 'Rangoon.'

Finally, Vivek Dahiya and Divyanka Tripathi performed on one of the most popular and romantic songs, 'Gerua' from the film, 'Dilwale.'

As soon as the Dil Dhadakne Do gets active, it will bombard the respective couple with confetti.

Monalisa's (Antara Biswas) Crying Streak continues

The Grandeur of the Sets

One of the things that 'Nach Baliye' has been known for is the huge sets it presents in every season. And this season is no different and is only grander and bigger-
