Rohit Nag’s face swells up with slaps

Line producer Rohit Nag, who is currently seen shaking a leg with his wife and actress Aishwarya Sakhuja in dance-based reality show “Nach Baliye 7”, is said to have ended up with a swollen face after repeatedly slapping himself while practicing for a dance sequence.

According to a source from the set, the couple will be performing a passionate and sensuous act with a strong message, in the fifth week of the ongoing Star Plus show. At the end of the act, Rohit is supposed to slap himself thrice.

“Rather than acting, he actually slapped himself and unintentionally so hard that he has gotten a swelling on his face,” the source said in a statement.

However, the judges – actress Preity Zinta, author Chetan Bhagat and choreographer Marzi Pestonji, were surprised to see him on stage.

“They told him that he could have acted rather than actually hurting himself for the act,” the source added.

Rohit and Aishwarya tied the knot in December last year.
