In Week 8, Sid
harth's choreographer Sonia was injured during technical rehearsals and was unable to continue the show. Hence, Mohena, another dancing partner who was seen with Karan Wahi in the previous season, replaced Sonia as Sidharth's new choreographer.In Week 12, Shaan's choreographer Marischa hurt herself hence she could not perform on the stage. Therefore, Sneha, who was seen earlier this season with Karanvir Bohra performed with Shaan, which was choreographed by Marischa herself.
