Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has his own distinct style of dancing, will be seen teaching a contestant of "Kaun Banega Crorepati" a step or two of what he learnt from actor Shahid Kapoor recently.

During a recent episode of the game show, Shahid taught Big B a few steps on the song "Agal bagal" from his latest movie "Phata Poster Nikla Hero".

When Amitabh came to know that one of the hot seat contestants, Deepika, cannot dance, he decided to don the role of a dance teacher and taught her a few moves.

The duo then grooved and matched steps on the same song. Not bad that the 70-year-old is not just preaching the show's theme - "Seekhna bandh toh jeetna bandh" (No learning means no winning) - but also practising it by imparting some of his talent.

The episode will air Friday on Sony Entertainment Television.

Pratyusha Banerjee's ex-beau hosted break-up party

Small screen actress Pratyusha Banerjee, who entered the "Bigg Boss - Saath 7" house soon after a controversial break-up, has revealed that her ex-boyfriend, businessman Makrand Malhotra, had hosted a break-up party after they parted ways.

Pratyusha, best known for playing Anandi in popular TV show "Balika Vadhu" earlier, confided in fellow "Bigg Boss" contestant actress Tanisha Mukherjee about the same.

"He had become very possessive. My mother and father did not like that he used to come to my house. He even threw a break-up party," Pratyusha told Tanisha, said a source close to show.

"Once he came to my house at 3 a.m. and threatened my father. That's when we lodged a police complaint," Pratyusha added.

"Bigg Boss" house is synonymous with gossip and politics, and with Pratyusha gradually opening up about her tumultuous relationship, the audience is perhaps in for some more gossip over the coming weeks.

"Bigg Boss - Saath 7" airs on Colors.

'Junior MasterChef' contestants on a day out

The contestants of "Junior MasterChef" had a reason to rejoice! For the first time, the kids were taken out of the kitchen for a fun outdoor trip.

Judges Vikas Khanna, Kunal Kapoor and Surjan Singh Jolly, along with the entire unit of "Junior Masterchef - Swaad Ke Ustaad", shot a special outdoor segment for the show.

The contestants were taken to Adlabs Imagica, said to be the country's largest entertainment theme park at Khopoli, near Mumbai.

The trip not just thrilled the contestants, but even the chefs were taken back in time and they reminisced about their childhood days.

Kapoor was overwhelmed with the whole experience.

"This place reminded me of all the fun things that I have done as a child with my friends. It was really great, the contestants and all of us bonded well, we had good time together ... something that we have been planning for a while. The kids really brought out the child in us," Kapoor said in a statement.

"Junior MasterChef - Swaad Ke Ustaad", a show where kids compete with each other based on their cooking skills, airs on Star Plus.
