EXCLUSIVE: Has Salman Khan roped in ex girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani to judge Nach Baliye 9?
Nach Baliye 9 is all set to go on air on July 19. Salman Khan is producing the show this season and the concept will bring together ex-couples as well as current duos on the dance floor.
Salman Khan’s Nach Baliye 9, produced by the superstar, is getting hotter by the day. Apart from celebrity couple and ex-couples, there has been speculation that Salman himself might judge the show. And what could make it even better is the fact that one of his actress ex-girlfriends, Sangeeta Bijlani, who he was planning to marry, herself is a judge on the show and they had plans of tying the knot 25 years ago.
Salman met Sangeeta after she became Miss India 1980 and were planning to get married on May 27 in 1994. They were serious about each other but suddenly the event was called off by the actress. There was speculation that Salman was dating actress Somi Ali too at the same time and when Sangeeta came to know about it, she called off her marriage, even though the wedding cards had been distributed. She met ex-cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin, after that, got married to him in 1996 and divorced in 2010.
Says a source, “Last week, Salman Khan celebrated Sangeeta’s 46th birthday with style and great warmth at his Galaxy apartment in Bandra, along with some close friends like Sajid and Warda Nadiadwala, Dabangg 3 team, Prabhu Dheva, and co-actor Kichcha Sudeep, Daisy Shah, Mohnish and Ekta Bahl and Iulia Vantur. Since her move from Hyderabad to Mumbai, Sangeeta, has remained in touch with Salman and his family and is very close to his sister Alvira Agnihotri. Salman is not just the producer of Nach Baliye 9 but extremely hands-on in the creative department. It was his suggestion that they rope in Sangeeta as one of the judges on the show. The show has an interesting format this time – it is not just about couples but ex-couples too coming under the same roof, exes who have moved on with their lives and are friends today and he and Sangeeta have remained on good terms. They are good friends and sometimes even work out together at the gym. Sangeeta is often spotted at most of Salman’s family events and is extremely close to the Khandaan.”
The source adds, “Interestingly, Salman himself in the latest NB9 teaser promised to reveal all his relationship secrets on the show. In the promo, he asks, ‘Kya Salman ki agli film hogi unke kisi ex ke saath? Kaun hai wo badnaseeb jo hai Salman ka asli pyaar? Soch raha hun ki apne har relationship se parda utha hi doon. (Will Salman Khan's next movie features his ex? Who's the real love of Salman Khan? This timee, I am thinking of unveiling all my relationship secrets).’ While the other women he has dated, are married, Sangeeta is the only person, who has maintained amicable relations with him and both are single. While people know about his closeness to Iulia Vantur, officially they have not come out as a couple. Salman is also part of the premiere episode and has shot for it so the show promises to be an exciting one full of revelations! Will Salman and Sangeeta finally reveal what happened between them and why they broke up - only the show can tell!”
The other judges for Nach Baliye 9 are Raveena Tandon and director-choreographer Ahmed Khan. The show will air from July 19, 2019.
