Saturday’s show opened with hosts Ranvir and Manish reminding the audience that there are just 7 days left for the grand finale of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa! It was then time to determine this weeks face-off. Mouni was one of the face-off contestants but as she has the Shakti Immunity ball, she used it to be safe. This meant that the face-off would be between Shakti and Akshat! Two of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’s strongest contestants.
The judges were very excited that Jhalak had reached the semi final stage. Host Manish reminded the audience that as Shakti did not perform last week due to ill health, she had received zero scores and so her outcome would also depend on the number of votes she received from her fans.

Punjabi music has taken the Hindi film industry by storm and is a sure-shot way to recover costs, say industry experts. Punjabi numbers like "Sadi galli", "Rola pe gaya", "Laung da lashkara" and "Ainvayi Ainvayi" are sitting pretty on Bollywood music charts and are also a rage at weddings and discotheques. "The craze for Punjabi music has always been there because they are mostly foot-thumping and groovy. They catch up very fast with people of all age groups.
