It's the battle of the sexes again on TV!
Dance reality show Zara Nachke Dikha is back on Star Plus, and is ready to showcase the clash of the sexes!
This time around, the participants won't be assessed only for their dancing talent. They'll be judged on how they perform during the different theme-based dances; they'll have to use props innovatively; they'll need to be ready for impromptu challenges; they'll have to develop winning strategies; they'll have to demonstrate team spirit. And so on!
The judges, hosts and the time-slot are yet to be decided.
