On Saturday, August 17, couple, Shantanu Maheshwari and Nityaami Shirke performed an aerial act on the stage of Nach Baliye 9. The performance was undoubtedly beautiful and also received warm responses from the audience and the show's judges - actress Raveena Tandon and choreographer-director Ahmed Khan. The couple has been one of the favourites of the judges as they have been consistent with the out-of-the-box concepts of their performances. Be it an emotional act, power-packed fun dance or any genre, Shantanu and Nityaami nail it with their perseverance.
For the uninitiated, Nityaami suffered a ligament tear, and despite that, she, along with Shantanu are climbing notches higher at the scoreboard with their dance style and moves. As many know that Shantanu Maheshwari participated in a dance reality show, and never looked back. He gained fame and went on to perform at various cities, and also represented India at one of the performances internationally. However, he is afraid of heights and their aerial act was all about lifts and balancing each other. The couple took this challenge in their stride and went on to deliver a beautiful aerial act.
