Arshad Warsi and wife Maria Goretti will be performing together after 14 years in the grand finale of dance reality show Zara Nachke Dikha. Warsi said that this performance is extremely important to him as it marks the beginning of a beautiful new phase in his life. The dance will be choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. This is the first time Merchant will be working with Warsi. She says,Yes,its true that I have never worked with him. But it was easy to choreograph Arshads steps as he has been a choreographer in the past. He understood what I expected from him. Arshads dance is all about neat lines. Hell be doing a a hip hop performance. Maria is a great dancer too. I dont understand why she stopped dancing?

Recently,the Delhi-based actress shopped for materials,pearls and kundan while she was on a vacation in Mumbai. It seems she is serious about becoming a fashion designer. I would love to design my own costumes in my show too eventually, smiles the actress.

Will Shubhangi Atre get to work in Master Chef?
Shubhangi Atre,who is seen as Preeti in Do Hanso Ka Joda on Imagine TV, is an excellent cook in real life and can cook Punjabi,Chinese,South Indian,Gujarati and Marwari food. Though she is a vegetarian,she can cook non-vegetarian cuisine too. No wonder,she is very keen on participating in the soon-to-be-launched cookery show Master Chef hosted by Akshay Kumar on Star Plus. Who wouldnt like to cook food for Akshay Kumar? There are very few cuisine shows on television so I dont want to lose this opportunity. A friend of mine has suggested my name. I hope I get a chance to realise my dream.
