Marriage mania

Shweta Tiwari, one of the judges of Aajaa Mahi Vay, on the format of the show and more, interviewed by Gautam Hegde.

The contestants are couples who are about to get married.
The concept is simple: the contestants dance for the jury (Shweta Tiwari, Ronit Roy and Apara Mehta). If they're the most compatible.. on the dance floor.. they win a dream wedding.
