The show is getting stiff with one jodi being eliminated every week; and this week we have our fabulous five to captivate you with their funny yet clever acts?and the show rolled out something like this??.

• Kamya Punjabi & Rajiv Thakur ? Rajiv played "F M Hussain" and Kamya his muse "Madhuri Dixit". Rajiv did not quite paint a portrait of Madhuri but he sure tried to persuade her with his urdu shayaris and she in turn kept turning him down again in his own style?.(classic example taste of one‘s own medicine)
• Rajesh Kumar & Rajiv Nigam ? They played Akbar and Birbal respectively and was pestering Birbal to entertain him with his shayaris.
• Juhi & VIP ? There‘s was a laugh riot performance where Juhi played herself and VIP was her gay husband. The normal nagging conversations of a miya aur biwi were presented as a shayari.
• Sucheta & Salim ? Both played themselves, actually Salim played an eve-teaser and was annoying with his silly shayaris?.a performance to watch out for??.
• Krushna & Sudesh ? Krushna plays a film producer who is looking for a ghazal writer for his movie and just then meets Keemti Lal Junglee (or Sudesh Lahiri) who comes out with some classic (read nonsensical shayaris).
  

So who are the bottom two jodis and who gets eliminated?to know more watch?
