From Kruti Shah and Karan Pangali, who are falling in love with the country and its cultural facets each day, to Swarali and Rajit, who have been celebrating this festival all their lives, all were equally overwhelmed by the opportunity to display their talent and gratitude at Lord Krishna’s town and inspire audiences to Sab kuch bhula kar Just dance and match steps with them at this auspicious occasion.

During Janmashtami, the entire city gets immersed in the spirit of devotion. Euphoric celebrations among the devotees are a common sight. Naturally, the contestants got caught up in this emotional fervor at this historic town where they not only presented the first copy of the second music video of the show featuring Hrithik Roshan in a brand new Avatar but also managed to seek blessings for their success on the Just Dance battleground!

The plays and Raas-Lilas had them enthralled as they got into a celebratory fervor and took this opportunity to offer their heartfelt thanks for all they have achieved in terms of fame and exposure and the love of millions.

YMGGK - Sameer Dharmadhikari’s greys come out with Rajshri’s Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli.

Sameer who has previously worked with Rajshri in their show "Main Teri Parchhain Hoon"will be seen portraying the character of Raj Singhaniya in their latest show Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli . “Good things always come together. That is somewhat the case with Rajshri and me. It’s always a pleasure to work with them as they are one of the best in the industry. Also they are very sure of when to introduce a character. And when they approached me for Raj’s character it was apt timing.” Sameer tells us that Raj’s character is that of a protective brother, who can get anything under the sun, if his sister demands for it. He adds, “Raj also has some steak of grey. I haven’t done a grey character before on T.V. Thus making it a hard hitting and a solid role.” There is a noticeable change in his look to support the character, we ask him if he specially worked on it, Sameer says, “I lately wore my hair short, and when I was approached for the role, the look i was carrying fitted the character and was approved by the creative team immediately.” Soniya Singh plays the role of his sister Koyal. The brother sister duo entered the show to save Swarna Bhawan but with ulterior motives. It would be interesting to watch how Karan and Abha save their family this time. Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, only on Zee T.V at 8:30pm
