It was a truly emotional day on the set of Nach Baliye 6 as the two popular contestants, Vinod and Raksha Thakur, got re-married during the recording of the dance reality show.
The ceremony was orchestrated by judge, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, who wanted to make their dream come true of being married with the blessings of their respective parents.
The love-story between Raksha and physically challenged Vinod, is an unusual and inspiring one.
Raskha used to attend dance classes at Vinod’s academy and over time, she was taken up with the fact that he wasn’t dependent on anyone to get around or to achieve his dreams. They decided to get married even though neither of them proposed to the other.
However, Raksha’s parents were against the match because of Vinod’s disability and did not give their blessings. Hence, the duo eloped but prayed that one day the parents would accept their union.
Having heard this prayer, actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra (who is a judge on the show), arranged for the couple to finally get married in the presence of their families on the sets of Nach Baliye 6.
Said a source from the set, “Vinod and Raksha ran away and got married and don’t have any happy memories with their family associated with the occasion. This wedding on the sets was truly emotional because, not only did the families finally come together to celebrate the union, but also bestowed their blessings on the couple on national television.”
The celebrations saw Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Terence Lewis dance with the couple’s family and Terence even carried a child on his shoulder and danced with abandon.
