"I'm thrilled to see Bhaichung dance like this. He is too good," Prabhu Deva exclaimed after seeing Bhutia's performance on the show.
The footballer apparently performs a dance act on top of two tables and a chair for the upcoming episode of the show.
"I was praying for him. After all he has to play football," added the Tamil actor.
Prabhu Deva also danced to his famous number "Urvashi urvashi" from the film "Humse Hai Muqabala" and later shook a leg with contestant, model Gauhar Khan. He also said that his personal favourite out of all those present on the show was ace choreographer and judge Saroj Khan.
He requested her to share the dance floor and Saroj Khan duly obliged. This particular episode will air on Sony Entertainment Television Friday at 9 p.m.
