They rehearse for three to four hours every day at the Jhalak House in Versova here to put their best foot forward on the dance floor.
VJ Andy turned a guide for a team of journalists who visited the show's set Monday, and he welcomed everyone warmly with garlands.
Talking about their schedules for the rehearsals, Andy said: "We all get a private room to rehearse, with different time schedules allotted to each contestant. We rehearse with our choreographers for three to four hours minimum in a day." Andy's antics on "Bigg Boss Saath 7" made him a popular name.
