The TV tsarina says the ongoing season will unfold many facets of a relationship and terms judge and author Chetan Bhagat as the 'X-Factor' of the show.

Bhagat has taken up the role of a judge for the seventh season of the Star Plus show, which Ekta is producing. He is accompanied by actress Preity Zinta and choreographer Marzi Pestonji on the judges panel.

“Dance is just one part of expression and with the new format, we are trying to explore layers of each relationship so that we will see a lot more storytelling in the dance defined by the couples journey in the week.

“Since this year is all about too much, we thought why not go ahead with another twist and bring in someone that people would not normally expect. Chetan is the X-Factor of the show and his role on the show will be that of a motivator and story teller, he will focus on finding the real perfect couple on Nach Baliye,” she said in a statement.
