"We hosted very spontaneously and we had an interesting chemistry between us. We used to have our own sweet bickering, teasing each other and poking fun at each other. The audience loved the chemistry and hope we can create the same magic again," she added.

Talking about Saumya, Jay said: "It's going to be fun working with Saumya again as she was my first co-host. It's been long and I haven't got a chance to work with her again."

"& - It's Diwali", which will be aired on &TV around the occasion of Diwali (October 30), will showcase the amalgamation of the most popular faces of the TV industry putting their best foot forward while entertaining the audience.

Some of the few notable names from the industry who would be performing on the show include Mouni Roy, Rytasha Rathore, Prince Narula, Krystle D'Souza, Karan V Grover, Asha Negi, Rithvik Dhanjhani, Kratika Sengar, Aditi Sharma, Neelu Vaghela, Vishal Vashist, Karanvir Bohra, Adaa Khan, Kamya Punjabi, Karan Tacker, Aamir Ali, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Mahii Vij.
