'Nach Baliye 8' just gave us something so unconventional, we had to do a double-take. Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal just pulled off an amazing number and set fire to the stage.

What we liked- While the dancing plays it's part, what caught our attention was the characters they got into. The trio got into this glamorous, metallic, gothic costumes and absolutely nailed a radical routine. It involved more of voguing and runway styles and the men in it were absolute queens at it! Mohit and the pair's choreographer looked absolutely comfortable portraying sass, beauty and the typical "It Girl" attitude. They wore heels and corsets too!

Why we liked it- We love how the gender bent costumes here do not revolve around the typical cross-dressing you see on TV. Men wearing sarees for slapstick comedy as they pretentiously imitate feminine traits are a popular on-screen phenomenon. It is unrealistic, exaggerated and pretentious.

This piece, however, had none of that! They fit in their roles seamlessly and didn't shy away from talking a walk on the other side. The trio was genuinely sexy and watching them strut their stuff was such a refreshing sight.

What do you think? Did you love this moment on screen?
