Winning Nach Baliye 8
make it happen.
This beautiful journey started
with uncertainty. They both
knew it would be a difficult and
risky one and they were both
not sure if it was worth taking
the risk. With the only
intention of spending time
together and learning a new art
form, they started this risky yet
invigorating journey. What had
started as a way of learning,
turned into something they ate,
breathed and slept for the past
4 months. Not once did they
think they would go so far
the trophy would be inches
away from them... Just far
enough they could feel it.
Though it was an amazing
journey, it wasn't without its
difficulties. Battling it out like
true warriors with sheer
positivity and hard work, they
were able to go so far as to win
it. They were able to go so far
as to go from non dancers, to
India's best dancing Jodi - Nach
Baliye 8 winners.

More success & achievements
Gold Awards - Mrs, Dahiya
takes the black lady home! And
how could she not? What made
it even more special was the
fact that Vivek presented the
award to his wife, his
bhagwaan. And he knew he
couldn't miss the chance to do
that, so he made sure he'd fly
all the way from Chandigarh to
do it, to be a part of Divyankas
special night. They both looked
stunning with Divyanka
wearing a green
fitted gown with sheer at the
bottom and Vivek
accompanying her wearing a
grey suit with a pink shirt,
being the perfect gentleman.

not the limit.

Global Herald- another award to take
home for Mrs Dahiya this month. This was
the award for the 50 most admired leaders
in the field of entertainment! And sharing
this award with Divyanka was none other
than choreographer and Nach Baliye 8

radiant wearing a black off shoulder
dress and finished it with hard curls, she
was a sight.

Anniversary - Italy, With Love
"As with any journey, who you travel with can be
more important than your destination."
Their one year
completion of marriage
came just at the right
time, because the taste of
their anniversary was
just as sweet as they
embarked on the new
year of their marriage as
Nach Baliye 8 winners.
This occasion of
spending quality time
with just each other was
much needed after the
hectic four months
dedicated to their
dancing journey.
Although they had the
time of their lives,
they were in much need
of some R&R. To celebrate
this occasion, they took
time off and headed to
the beautiful Italy. They
spent their time going
from one city to
another, basking in the
glory of the sun and
enjoying the sunny
beaches, taking long
drives and enjoying the
Italian local cuisine,
trying their signature
drinks and spectacular
food. Taking a boat ride
to Capri and just
spending quality time
together.
They had the time of their
lives. And came back home
feeling fresh as ever to take
on the world yet again, and
to spend the rest of their
lives together with more
adventures and togetherness.

Staying miles away from family,

because being close to them is like
being close to their family.

such a fierce film, success

Friends without benefits. So
when they all gathered to

They say when you work with people
you love and feel as family, it isn't

Gym & Fitness
Being fit and having an healthy lifestyle is
important and makes living even more easier.
Going through Nach Baliye and having
various health issues, being physically fit was
vital to tackle day to day life. Which is why
after Nach Baliye ended, they did not stop
their physical activities and decided to
continue it by working out. And this way,
enjoy time together as well, which they
missed after Nach Baliye ended.

Exclusive Interview
Nach Baliye 8 winners Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya, who are also lovingly known as
Divek by their fans, are said to be the most romantic jodi of the season. We got chatting with
the dancing duo soon after their big win about their best moments from the show and their
toughest challenges too.
Q. Congratulations to you both. Did you see the Nach Baliye 8 win coming?
Divyanka Tripathi: We had kept our expectations low because sometimes it hurts when you
expect and it doesn’t go accordingly.
Vivek Dahiya: We kept our hopes high and expectation low. You can hope for something, but
you should never expect too much. We had no idea what the voting numbers were, as they
were kept away from us all through. All we knew was that we need to perform and after that
it will be the audience who will take the decision.
Q. How did you manage your TV serial shoots and dance rehearsals along with the Nach
Baliye shoot?
Divyanka Tripathi: It was very tough. While doing Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, of course I had to
give it my best. Ishita’s character was not compromised with. The show was going full on
and maximum scenes had me in it, so I didn’t get any time off from Mohabbatein. And when
it came to dance rehearsals, I used to be so exhausted by the time I reached for rehearsals in
the evening, mentally and well as physically. Yet I used to prep myself by saying ‘no, this is a
new start, so you have to focus’.
We had only two to three hours to rehearse, while some other contestants had the privilege
to practice for eight to nine hours. Most of the couples had that. They would rehearse for
hours and hours and I used to feel ‘oh god! Only if I had that privilege’. So since I didn’t have
it, I kept myself focused and in those few hours I used to try my best to learn and practice as
much as possible, without taking a break because I couldn’t afford to waste any time.
And obviously we didn’t get enough sleep in the past four months. So after a long time today
I slept properly.

Q. What was your most memorable moment from the dance show?
Divyanka Tripathi: When Vivek wrote me this really sweet love letter. It was a complete
surprise. You know every woman wants to feel that special. Little little things that become
really big in your life, that make your simple life into a fairy tale. And Vivek gives me those
pleasures in life, doing these little things for me.
I was always nervous, he was the one always giving me strength. I don’t know how I would
have managed to come this far. I used to get really nervous. He was there holding me
together.
Vivek Dahiya: I think everyday spending time with her rehearsing, holding her hand when
she used to get nervous before the comments.
Q. Your most fun song to perform to?
Vivek Dahiya: I think Tune Mari Entry was a teen ka tadka, where you had to bring in your
choreographer and dance together. We had a lot of fun because I was in my own element
and she was in her character.
Divyanka Tripathi: I also loved Saree Ke Fall Sa. Vivek was robotic, so he couldn’t enjoy
much because he had to be stiff. But I enjoyed it because I went all out doing all the
Bollywood moves. I had so much fun doing that.
Q. ...and your most difficult performance?
Vivek Dahiya: Malhari! I fell three-four times while rehearsing. We were doing it with V
company and they make you do flips in the air. I had to land at a particular point and could
not just jump down and land anywhere. So I had to land on a guy lying down on the floor,
so my legs had to be around him. So that timing and while I was up in the air, I used to get
very nervous. So every time I used to get nervous, I used to land abruptly somewhere else
and end up hurting myself. But then it was her (Divyanka) who whispered in my ear that
you stop thinking and stop fearing that you will not land on him. Stop having those
thoughts just try jumping confidently and that’s what I did and I was fine. So it’s always in
your mind you know. About the injures also, it’s all in your head.
Divyanka Tripathi: Also he injured himself very badly during the performance. Because of
those moves his knee pad got displaced and he landed on the floor on his knee. And he hurt
himself very very badly. In fact both the knees where gone for at least two weeks. Nobody
knew, we never told anybody, but for two weeks for him to do any step was so difficult. He
was continuously on physiotherapy.

Q. Any message for your fans?
Divyanka Tripathi: Our fans showed us immense love and
that kept us going. We feel blessed. This is something that
cannot be bought, this is something that you can’t try to
achieve. We never tried for it. We just kept working hard
and our focus has always been our work. I have completed
twelve years in the industry and I have just tried to give
my best and do good work. Thankfully, it has been
noticed. Even when Vivek came into the industry people
loved him. We are just blessed that we did our job and the
audience did their job, to love us.

Caption Of The Month
Post Of The Month
This caption was small and sweet yet
full of significance. What stood out
was how it took really less words for
Divyanka to signify how her life
changed in the one year that they've
been married and how it has been a
magical journey thus far.
This beautiful post posted by Mr Dahiya
is the post of the month because of
the beauty of the picture. Looking at
the pic, you can see the sheer content
and peacefulness resonating from the
both of them. DT lying her head on his
shoulder, something she loves doing,
and VD looking smoking, they both
make such a beautiful couple.
Look Of The Month
Dressed in a beautiful princess maroon outfit, DT looked
like she belongs in a fairytale. With perfect hairdo and
just about the perfect jewelry, she looked like the
reigning Queen she is. VD wasn't far behind with his
looks, looking like the perfect prince charming to the
princess, he rocked the blue suit, both setting the red
carpet and the event on fire.
Picture Of The Month
DT looks absolute bomb in this dress and black is so
her colour! Her transformation post Nach Baliye is
looking so palpable here, and making her, in turn
them, look absolutely stunning and delectable!

Vivek;
This looks like a movie poster. The scenery, the
colour, the man in the picture and his pose.
What's not perfect in this post! Everything is on
point and VD looks like the Greek God he is.
Solo Picture Of The Month
Divyanka;
this one is for obvious reason. You know this post
is good when the lady posing looks more
stunning than the scenery at the back. Dressed in
a casual white tee and black skirt, with her
straight hair flowing, DT looked like a total bomb.
DIvyanka;
This airport look of DTs made heads turn! Known to
sport desi attires, it was a welcome change to see
her don a chic black dress, with "I am limited
edition" written on it. Because she truly is one hell
of a limited edition.
Outfit Of The Month
Vivek:
When in Italy, dress like you're a tourist and that's
exactly what this outfit is. It's standing out and it's
saying, "Yes, I'm on vacation". what makes this even
better is the hat that fits the outfit like a glove and Mr
Dahiya looking like he's having the time of his life.

THROWBACK
Their wedding, which
became a national event,
was the most talked about
wedding of the year... And
for all the right reasons. It
was a multi-city traditional
wedding which was
exquisite from the haldi
ceremony to the reception.
Everything. On. Point. And
perfect.
