MUMBAI: In order to keep viewer interest alive, participants of the fourth season of dance reality show "Nach Baliye" will shake a leg on a Jet Airways aircraft in Mumbai.

"With every passing season, 'Nach Baliye' has endeared itself to the viewers with new, fresh elements. This season, the show has put on additional stature. With a refreshing line of jodis and interesting format variations, the show has added new dimension to entertainment. Dancing in the air will surely add more to it," said Shankar.
