The journey so far had been fabulous as we continued to stretch our own limits and bring to stage one after another never seen before acts. But, little did I know that the world is going to turn upside down for me. We take the smallest things for granted and really don’t know what tomorrow holds for us.” (Must Read: Tanazz Irani's Birthday Wish For Sis-In-Law, Delnaaz Irani Will Give You Major 'Nanad-Bhabhi' Goals)

With she being a non-dancer, Faisal talked about his experience upon shaking a leg with his love, “Muskaan isn’t a dancer and it is a bit difficult to coordinate with her as I am used to sharing the stage with professional dancers. This is the first time that I am dancing with a beginner on such a big platform. But she is very hard-working and putting in a lot of effort. We started dancing together when we started dating so we are doing well for now.”
Faisal Khan had also revealed how he feels when the performance doesn’t go as planned, “(Laughs) I haven’t lost my cool with Muskaan as she is a non-dancer and I need to be patient with her. We do get irritated when we work so hard and things don’t fall in place. Dancing requires a lot of physical strength and you tend to get tired after some time. I don’t want my partner to get tired. I want her to do smart work rather than too much work. I want her to remain focused which will eventually lead to better results in less time.” (Also Read: Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya Made Surprising Revelation About Cooking For Her Husband, Vivek Dahiya)
