All of 51, Negi is the oldest participant in the show.

Blamed for the crushing defeat of the 1982 Asian hockey games to Pakistan, this former hockey goalkeeper just had a film -- Shah Rukh Khan's Chak De! India, no less -- based on his life.

"This is a big challenge for me and I have accepted it," he says. "When they asked me to come on this show, I was surprised. In fact, one of the Chak De girls told me that it would be difficult for me to dance. But then, I said I would try and win the hearts of audience."

Negi's choreographer partner is Marischa Fernandes.
