The second week of performances on Nach Baliye 9 will be really hard on a few couples and ex-couples. While we’ll witness Keith Sequeira and Rochelle Rao get eliminated, Anita Hassanandani and Rohit Reddy will not be performing owing to the latter suffering from jaundice. And now, joining this list is the Jodi of Shantanu Maheshwari and Nityaami Shirke, who despite facing serious issues, managed to perform this week. Nityaami, during rehearsals, landed on her knee after a lift but continued to rehearse, which aggravated her injury. Ultimately, the pair performed, albeit with Nityaami in a wheelchair. Shantanu Maheshwari and Nityaami Shirke on Nach Baliye 9: 'We Are Still In The Liking And Exploring Our Relationship Phase'

Revealing how she was injured, Nityaami, in a lengthy post on Instagram, re-counted her fall and also that her doctor had advised her to not even walk.

This was two days before @shantanu.maheshwari and I performed for the first time together on the #nachbaliye9 stage. Up until this day, there were nerves but mostly just excitement to be able to do our best as a Jodi! Unfortunately, on the day of our first stage rehearsal, I landed wrong after a lift and fell. I knew something was wrong with my knee the minute I fell but I don’t think any of us realised how serious it was. We went on to rehearse later that day, and at this point I didn’t want anything to get in the way of our performance, though I struggled a little as you guys can see here 😅 I genuinely feel like where there’s a will, there’s a way. So we powered on, and performed! 😊 It was a stressful few days for Our entire team, but post performance when my knee wasn’t improving and I got a scan, we realised I had a near complete ACL tear, my PCL was damaged and I had a tear in my medial miniscus. So when I saw an orthopaedic surgeon, he said forget dancing, even walking was detrimental at this point. When life throws something like this at you, I feel like you have to take the setback and believe that your comeback will be stronger. Honestly, we’ve been hit with the worst case scenario, but I feel like we have the passion and willingness to work around this. Shantanu, @desihoppers and I, would love to know what you thought about our upcoming performance this week and whether or not you felt our passion on screen. And thank you for aaaalllll the love and support that’s been pouring in regarding this, it means the world to us all!! ❤️🙏🏽😊 @macedon008 @subhash92_desihopper @mohitantony @dhanshree.yadav

But not only did Nityaami perform, but she also has proved how hardworking she is. Her perseverance during such times is totally inspirational, admirable and commendable. We wish the couple all the best for their upcoming performances and also Nityaami, a speedy recovery.
