Tina and Hussain dazzled audiences with their dancing abilities in Star One's television show Nach Baliye 2. No wonder, they won the dance competition by a large margin.

When Tina chatted with Rediff Readers on December 27, people were clearly bowled most by their blindfolded performance in one of the dance rounds.

For those who missed the chat, here's what she said:

Tina says, Hi! I am ready for your grilling, so shoot :)


Jitendra Giri asked, Tina, First Congratulations for being WINNER. your Jodi deserved. I most enjoyed your Baho ke darmyan performance and Zinda hun(Solo) performance
Tina answers, Thank you for your wishes. Even my favourite performance was Baho Ke Darmyan. Zinda I didn't enjoy doing it as it was too much of pain and agony to emote being a non-actor.


mohtaanil asked, are you going to act in TV serials or you want to be away and accept only good roles in films
Tina answers, I would not mind acting in tv serials as long as something great and exciting as Nach Baliye comes across.


neelakshi asked, Hi tina tell me abt your experence being in limelight with hussain who was heart throb of the entire nation
Tina answers, Yes I agree Hussain is the hearththrob. But for me he is my husband and it's always a pleasure dancing with him. And, I have known him before he became the hearth throb of so many :)


neelakshi asked, hi!! both of you n congrats for winning nach baliye...loved your blind folded performance n need to know abt the mantra of your real life chemistry
Tina answers, Thank You for your liking our performance. It was the toughest performance. It is difficult to walk few steps blind folded. Imagine doing an entire two minute dance. It was scarry but like you need to know our real life chemistry mantra. It is about knowing and loving unconditionally.


shinde.sandhya asked, I like ur smile very much & u are the only person who always keep smile on ur face
Tina answers, That's really sweet of you. But I have learnt this trait from Hussain.


tarun asked, Who was your closest healthy rival in the competition :)
Tina answers, Everyone. Our competition was very healthy and everyone proved to be tough. We were lucky enough to get choreographers like Harshal and Vithal.


ashwath asked, hi.....both of u...though u both wre not as popular as hiten & gauri wat kept ur confi up ...
Tina answers, Frankly, even today I believe we were not as popular as Hiten and Gauri. Me being a non-actor, people obviously didn't know me but I would just like to thank each and every person who has loved us.


Prakash asked, Hi Tina, I like your performance in " Bahon ke Darmiyan" with Hussain. That was fantastic what i ever senn through Nach Baliye-2. I also like Hussain in "Shabas India". What is your Programme in coming New Year. Prakash C. Das-kolkata
Tina answers, Thank You for liking our performances. Hussain is great in Shabas India and we will be coming to Kolkatta on December 29.


TinaPooja asked, Who do you attribute this win to?? Your choreographer or Hussain or your hardwork or Viewers and Judges support
Tina answers, Mixture of all put together.


rimasaxena asked, Hi tina,What's your hobbies?
Tina answers, In my spare time, all I like to do is chat with fans or sleep. I can do without food or water but not without sleep.


Sadia asked, watz ur zodiac sign tina?
Tina answers, I am an Arien.


Sadia asked, hi tina i'm Sadia from Karachi you have a huge fan following here
Tina answers, My parents are also from Pakistan. They were based there before partition and my Nana was a zamindar in Ratedera (Sindh)


Razia asked, By the way my queation, how does it feel to be catapulted to fame all of a sudden?
Tina answers, The feeling hasn't sunk in yet. And I get kind of embarassed when people walk upto me and talk. Don't know what we have done to deserve so much love and appreciation.


jerin asked, hii tina.. i wanted to ask u something.. u r a hindu and hussain a muslim.. so did u face any problem. i mean from ur family and from hussains family...?
Tina answers, Yes, we did face a lot of parental pressure but my parents always knew that Hussain is a gem. So finally, after 9 years our love won. yuppie :)


shekkarm asked, this sis shekkar from dubai,u r amazng in the show
Tina answers, thanks a ton


monali.somani@rediffmail.com asked, what made you to come on tv shows.Is it coz of ur hubby or its your wish
Tina answers, Both of us love to dance but this time participating in Nach Baliye 2 was at insistence of my hubby.


chan asked, hi, whether Harshal and Vithal had choreographed any bollywood movie, bcoz they are the best choreographers and you both are lucky to have them, what is your opinion?
Tina answers, Yes, Harshal and Vithal have choreographed a few movies. For example, Naach by Ram Gopal Varma and they have done a lot of stage shows with A R Rahman.


niki asked, sincerly how long & how much did u need to practice for these performances.. i need to know.. u ppl have inspired me to learn dance..
Tina answers, I had to work doubly hard as compared to Hussain as he was already a good dancer. I have never done choreographed dance in my life. I needed to rehearse about 6-8 hours daily.


chinnu asked, How is your life after post nach bhelya? Any major changes?
Tina answers, Not got the time to really think about or mull over anything. Life is back to routine. In fact, now we miss rehearsals.


kusum asked, hi tina u look very smart do u have your profficnal life.
Tina answers, Thank you. Yes, I have my own export business. I export ladies western wear to the USA. I am a fashion designer by profession.


shash asked, Hi Hussain, i m ur big fan... and u guys have done a great job in Nach Baliye... All the best for your future...
Tina answers, Hussain is not here, so i will pass your message to him.


hjh asked, hi congrats. so hav u decided how u gonna spend the winning cash
Tina answers, If I had to decide I think I would just blow it all up. So very wisely, I have given Hussain the charge and I am sure, he will invest it wisely.


Disha asked, how did u met with criticism?
Tina answers, Hussain and me always took criticism in the right spirit and tried our best to work on it and never give them a chance to say that we were bad at the same thing.


TinaMitrajit asked, congrats!! awesome performances from you. What was your inspiration for this fabulous show ?
Tina answers, Thank you. Our inspiration for trying to win was only for our choreographers, Harshal and Vithal. We would not feel bad for ourselves had we lost as much we would for them.


ruby asked, tina, r u a dancer or have you learned dancing when u were a child. if not how u know to dance so well? hussain was always a good dancer and i always admired his dance but u were also excellent. yours and hussains blind folded dance was too good and also you 2 inside the red rope was very good. we really enjoyed you dance.
Tina answers, Hey thanks for considering me to be a good dancer. But the truth is the choreographers had to work really hard on trying to get me to learn the steps. No, I am not a trained dancer. Just that I don't have two left feet.


sapy asked, Was it a love marriage or arranged ?
Tina answers, It was a love marriage. Initially though we had parental pressures but we always told our parents we would never get married without their blessings. So you can call it love cum arrange :)


Disha asked, I heard that the show was rigged is there any truth in that?
Tina answers, I can't change your opinion but you need to answer me whether you thought we deserved to win or not.


monali.somani@rediffmail.com asked, Personally i felt that bakhtiyar and manav were giving tough fight. bhut manav and shweta lacked audience support which you both had.And this help you a lot in winning. Also your dance sequences were quite unique
Tina answers, Personally, even I feel that Bakhtiyar-Tanaz and Manav-Shweta were great but it was not only due to audience votes but also the competition had reached a stage where a single mistake would get you eliminated.


SAJJSHJKL asked, CAN I KNOW YOUR PHONE NO MAM
Tina answers, Hey, I would love to give it to you but unfortunately it's little too private :(


TINAWHO asked, TINA WHERE IS MINA ?
Tina answers, We lost Mina in Ena Mina Dika dance, ha ha ha

Tina answers, Hey, that is so sweet of you but unfortunately you are late :(

Tina answers, Of course, I think luck plays as important role as hard work.


MOHD asked, TINA WHAT'R U DOING BINA HUSSAIN
Tina answers, Tina is chatting with all the lovely people but just like all of you is missing Hussain.


prerna28 asked, Do you think you would have won against Manv and Shweta, in case they were in the finals? they were at par with you you know!
Tina answers, After Manav and Shweta were voted out, I messaged Manav saying I always dreamed of doing the finale with them and then it wouldn't matter whoever won. So, I agree with you completely. They were my best friends on Nach...


Razia asked, Tina a big hug and lots of love from my daughter Finaz Ali. She loved Hussian's costume and your wig in the comedy round.She was just giggling all the way through your perfomance.
Tina answers, Thank you and lots of love to Finaz from Hussain and me.


amitkhilnani asked, Hi Tina. I am your big fan :) Any chance of watching you in a live performance in Mumbai??
Tina answers, Hey, please, I get embarassed when people say that they are my fans. I prefer being called your friend. As of now, no offers to perform in Mumbai.


meetu asked, hey can u tll me what is ur daily rutine
Tina answers, I wake up in the morning leave for work. Slog out entire day, back home, have some lovely dinner and the only time with my husband and back to sleep. Quite boring and routine.

Tina answers, No, no offers from Kunal or anyone else as of now.


feroz_ahmed asked, would u like to act as kumkum in kumkum serial with hussain
Tina answers, No, I think Hussain and Juhi make an amazing pair and suit best as Kumkum-Sumit.


Tina says, Hey, thank you so much for taking out precious time and writing in to me. Unfortunately, there are more questions then there is time. So, please excuse me and sorry to all the people who I haven't been able to answer. Thank you once again for all the love and support you all have given us all through out Nach Baliye. Keep smiling, GOOD BYE.
