An old video surfaced on YouTube that shows a young Manisha Rani auditioning on Dance India Dance 5. The video from 2009 shows a young Manisha Rani wearing shades, with her saree draped in Marathi style, entering the stage while covering her face with betel leaves. On being asked why she covered her face, she replies, “Shaadi se pehle koi chehraa dikhata hain kya? (The bride and the groom aren't supposed to see each other before the wedding)” Judges Punit Pathak, Gaiti Siddiqui, and Mudassar Khan express their surprise as they say, “Shaadi? Kisse shaadi? Kaunse shaadi? (Wedding? With whom? What wedding?)” She further says that she wants to get married to “Punnu”. The judges ask her to show her dance moves. She makes a deal with them that if she dances, she will get married to Punit. Then she goes on to set the stage on fire with her moves. Judges Gaiti and Mudassar continue teasing Punit.
