Celebs dance Govinda style on ‘Nach Baliye’ (TV Snippets)

New Delhi, Feb 27 (IANS) The entertainment quotient on the set of “Nach Baliye 5” doubled when Bollywood’s comic star Govinda rocked the dance floor with a performance.

Neelu and Arvind, whose dancing style has been repeatedly compared with that of Govinda, paid a tribute to the actor, while Jay Bhanushali and his wife Mahi also took inspiration from Govinda’s life for their act.

Almost all couples came up with lots of innovative dancing forms, but the highlight was Govinda’s impromptu jig with judge Shilpa Shetty.

Rahul Mahajan, who is no longer a part of the show, came back as a special guest and requested Govinda to teach him some of his moves. Govinda not only readily obliged but showcased some of his signature steps, which Rahul, despite his best efforts, couldn’t match up to.

Now TV actors not roped in for talent: Mahesh Thakur

Actor Mahesh Thakur says while the TV industry is witnessing a lot of fresh blood, most newcomers are not taken for their talent, but because they have free time.

“Most actors who are new are not taken because they are talented. If they have 25 days in a month free, they are taken. There is just a lot of work available now, and one is not really on the lookout for talent,” Mahesh told IANS.

The actor is currently seen on Sahara One’s “Ghar Aja Pardesi”.
