It came as a pleasant surprise for fans of Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 and ParIka (Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes) when it was reported that the pair were all set to perform on Nach Baliye 9. The pair has lately been in the eye of a break-up storm. Rumoured to have developed feelings off-screen as well while playing Anurag and Prerna, Parth and Erica have been inundated with reports of them breaking up after their Switzerland schedule. It was being said that Parth’s closeness with his friend Priyanka was what led to the split. Nach Baliye 9: Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 Pair Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes To Perform On Salman Khan’s Show Amidst Break Up Rumours

Speaking to DNA about the unique concept of this season, Parth revealed, "The concept this season is super interesting and unique as we all know some couples have participated with their exes, which is not the easiest thing. Hats off to such couples who are trying to build up their chemistry and also showing that exes still can be friends after the break-up. It takes a lot of efforts and courage to work together with your exes in a positive way."

Addressing his relationship rumours with Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 co-star Erica Fernandes, Parth simply stated, "My relation with Erica is cordial. I'm thankful that fans are liking us and we had great fun performing together. This was our first performance ever together in a reality show.”

Well, the pair to get eliminated this week were Keith and Rochelle. After securing the least amount of votes, both Keith-Rochelle and Urvashi-Anuj had to take part in a face-off, where after securing less marks, Keith and Rochelle were eliminated.
