Despite being the first contestant to get injured, Shantanu Maheshwari's baliye Nityaami Shirke has not lost her enthusiasm and is seen participating neck to neck alongside her boyfriend in Nach Baliye 9. In fact, Nityaami and Shantanu have also got Hi5's for their performances, despite Nityaami performing with a knee brace on and the former has been hailed by judges Raveena and Ahmed repeatedly for her efforts. And this week, we'll see Chhichhore actor Sushant Singh Rajput too admire the pair for their dancing and efforts. Shantanu Maheshwari and Nityaami Shirke on Nach Baliye 9: 'We Are Still In The Liking And Exploring Our Relationship Phase'

A source says, "While watching Shantanu and Nityaami perform on stage, Sushant was thoroughly enjoying their act and even gave them a standing ovation along with the other contestants and celebrity guests. Sushant though was very impressed with Shantanu's dance moves and even told the lad how he loved his effortless way of dancing! Sushant also told Shantanu that he is now a big fan of his as well as his dynamic dancing!".

And adding to Shantanu's happiness was the fact that Sushant told him that he was aware of Shantanu's World Dance 2 and America's Got Talent stints. 

While Shantanu and Nityaami got off to a slow start because of the latter's injury, the past few weeks have seen the pair take up challenges and also incorporate Nityaami's injury in the acts and take away some much-deserved compliments from the judges and also the guests.
