Note (September 2026): Earlier versions gave season 6 air dates for season 7, said the show aired only on StarPlus and gave the wrong wedding year for Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij; these are corrected below, and the winners’ careers are updated.
The Nach Baliye is an Indian celebrity dance reality show in which pairs of celebrities, mostly real-life couples, compete. It launched on Star One in 2005, and after two seasons there the show moved to Star Plus.

Quick answer: Nine seasons of Nach Baliye aired between 2005 and 2019. Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar won the first, and Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary won the last, on 3 November 2019. No tenth season has been produced.

Nach Baliye season one started on 17 October 2005, and it ended on 19 December 2005. The winners were the veteran actors Sachin & Supriya. The couple had a tough time performing every week in new outfits and new avatar.
However, they managed to hold their ground with astonishing performances every week. The veteran couple’s effort pushed the other contestants to raise their own performances.

Nach Baliye 2 Winner: Hussain Kuwajerwala & Tina Kuwajerwala (2006)
The success of the dance show encouraged the producers to move on with season two. The television actor Hussain Kuwajerwala invited his wife to participate in a dance show.
Few doubted that the couple would make it to the finals. Mr & Mrs. Kuwajerwala had the “IT” factor to become the winners of the show, and it happened on 18 December 2006.
When this list was first written, Tina was a homemaker. Hussain played the role of “Jaiveer Chopra” in the popular series “Sajan Re Phir Jhooth Mat Bolo” aired on Sony Sab.

The couple got married in 2009, and they won the Best Lokpriya Jodi in Star Parivaar Awards. The couple had a son in 2014; Dalljiet filed for divorce in 2015, accusing Shalin of domestic violence, and the couple were divorced that year, according to Wikipedia.

Nach Baliye 5 Winner: Jay Bhanushali & Mahhi Vij (2013)
After a gap of more than three years, season 5 premiered on 29 December 2012 with new judges, new hosts and a new set of contestants.
Usually, the production takes plenty of time to gather the right celebrity couple on the stage. Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij were declared the winners of season 5 on 23 March 2013. The couple had married in 2011, according to Wikipedia, and competed as husband and wife.
Jay hosted Sabse Bada Kalakar in 2017 and, when this list was first written, appeared on other shows mainly as a guest. Mahhi appeared in the drama show “Laal Ishq (2018 TV series)” and played the role of Seher.
Nach Baliye Season 6 Winner: Rithvik Dhanjani & Asha Negi (2014)

Nach Baliye Season 8 Winner: Divyanka Tripathi & Vivek Dahiya (2017)
The season eight brought many television celebs on one stage and competing with each other. The winner of the Nach Baliye season eight is Divyanka and Vivek.

Nach Baliye winners with runners-up and judges
The table above gives the winning couple for each season. This one adds what it leaves out – who they beat in the final, and who was judging. Reading the two together is what makes the show’s odd hosting pattern visible.
| Season | Year | Winners | Runners-up | Judges |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2005 | Sachin & Supriya Pilgaonkar | Manish Goel & Poonam Narula | Saroj Khan, Malaika Arora, Farhan Akhtar |
| 2 | 2006 | Hussain & Tina Kuwajerwala | Yash & Gauri Tonk | Saroj Khan, Malaika Arora, Kunal Kohli |
| 3 | 2007 | Aamir Ali & Sanjeeda Sheikh | Abhishek Avasthi & Rakhi Sawant | Vaibhavi Merchant, Isha Koppikar, David Dhawan |
| 4 | 2008–09 | Shaleen Bhanot & Dalljiet Kaur | Naman Shaw & Megha Gupta | Farah Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Arjun Rampal |
| 5 | 2012–13 | Jay Bhanushali & Mahhi Vij | Ravi Dubey & Sargun Mehta | Shilpa Shetty, Sajid Khan, Terence Lewis |
| 6 | 2013–14 | Rithvik Dhanjani & Asha Negi | Gurmeet Choudhary & Debina Bonnerjee | Shilpa Shetty, Sajid Khan, Terence Lewis |
| 7 | 2015 | Himmanshoo Malhotra & Amruta Khanvilkar | Nandish Sandhu & Rashami Desai | Marzi Pestonji, Preity Zinta, Chetan Bhagat |
| 8 | 2017 | Divyanka Tripathi & Vivek Dahiya | Sanam Johar & Abigail Jain | Sonakshi Sinha, Mohit Suri, Terence Lewis |
| 9 | 2019 | Prince Narula & Yuvika Chaudhary | Rohit Reddy & Anita Hassanandani | Ahmed Khan, Raveena Tandon |
A note on the years: several seasons ran across two calendar years, and the show skipped 2010, 2011, 2016 and 2018 entirely. That is why season 5 followed season 4 after a three-year gap.
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.
- Farah Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Arjun Rampal judged season 4; Preity Zinta season 7; Sonakshi Sinha and Mohit Suri season 8; and Ahmed Khan with Raveena Tandon the last season.
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 official record tracks reality-show wins across formats, so the run is best described as rare rather than a certified record: four titles in four different formats. It is also the reason his name turns up on four separate winners lists on this site.
Is Nach Baliye coming back?
As of September 2026, no season 10 has aired. 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.
If you follow the celebrity dance format more widely, our Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa winners list covers the rival show that outlasted it, and Dance Plus winners covers the non-celebrity side of the same network.
Where are the Nach Baliye winners now?
Most Nach Baliye winners are still working in Indian television or film as of September 2026, and at least four of the nine winning pairs have since split. The table summarises what Wikipedia records; Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, Hussain and Tina Kuwajerwala and Himmanshoo Malhotra have no newer verified credits there, and Hussain’s latest listed television role is Sajan Re Phir Jhooth Mat Bolo (2017–2018).

What happened to Nach Baliye season 10?
Nach Baliye season 10 was planned but never aired.

As of September 2026, Wikipedia still lists season 10 as “to be announced”, and season 9 (2019) remains the latest.

How many seasons of Nach Baliye are there?
Nine, between 2005 and 2019. The show never ran annually – there were no seasons in 2010, 2011, 2016 or 2018, and several seasons ran across two calendar years, which is why the season numbers and years do not line up.
Is Nach Baliye coming back for season 10?

Did any Nach Baliye winners go on to host the show?
Yes, three times, and always the very next season. Hussain and Tina Kuwajerwala won season 2 and hosted season 3. Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh won season 3 and hosted season 4. Rithvik Dhanjani won season 6 and hosted season 7 alongside Karan Patel.
