The Nach Baliye pattern: winners who became hosts
Put the winners and the hosts side by side and something unusual shows up. Three winning couples went on to front the very next season.
- Hussain and Tina Kuwajerwala won season 2 in 2006, then hosted season 3 in 2007.
- Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh won season 3, then hosted season 4.
- Rithvik Dhanjani won season 6 with Asha Negi, then hosted season 7 alongside Karan Patel.
The rest of the hosting roster is a list of familiar television faces: Shabir Ahluwalia and Sangita Ghosh fronted the first two seasons, Gautam Rode and Karan Wahi seasons 5 and 6, Karan Tacker and Upasana Singh season 8, and Maniesh Paul with Waluscha De Sousa the final season.
One of the runners-up went the same way. Ravi Dubey, who finished second with Sargun Mehta in season 5, later hosted Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs in 2019.
Who judged Nach Baliye
The panel changed almost every season, and it drew from choreography, film and television in roughly equal measure.
- Terence Lewis judged the most, with three seasons – 5, 6 and 8.
- Saroj Khan and Malaika Arora judged the first two seasons together, joined by Farhan Akhtar and then Kunal Kohli.
- Shilpa Shetty and Sajid Khan sat on the panel for seasons 5 and 6 with Terence Lewis. Shilpa Shetty had by then won the British Celebrity Big Brother and hosted Bigg Boss season 2.

Prince Narula and the four-show record
The season 9 win is the one that stands out, and not only because it was the last. Prince Narula had already won three other reality shows before he took Nach Baliye with Yuvika Chaudhary.
- MTV Roadies X2, in 2015.
- MTV Splitsvilla 8, later the same year.
- Bigg Boss 9, which finished in early 2016 – three consecutive wins.
- Nach Baliye 9 in 2019, for a fourth title.
No other contestant on Indian television has matched that run across four different formats. It is also the reason his name turns up on four separate winners lists on this site.

There has been no season 10. Nach Baliye 9 finished on 3 November 2019 and the show has not returned since, which leaves Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary as the final winners after fourteen years and nine seasons.
