Wildcard Entrants

NOTE: Contestants are listed in pairs (1 singer along with 1 Indian TV celebrity).
NOTE: Contestant Abhishek Awasthi who got eliminated on July 12 has returned through wildcard entry with a new partner Meenal Jain NOT Sumedha Karmahe.
NOTE:In week 11 (August 16 & 17), both of the judges score are counted (one day the total score will was out of 20 points per contestant, and the other day it was out of 10 points per contestant), so the total score per week was out of 60 points (30 points per contestant).
NOTE:In week 12, the total score was 50 points per contestant, 40 points for the first performance individually done by both of the contestants [20 points each], and the second performance was worth 10 points. However, the elimination that took place was out of 20 points, in which Shayantani's team received 17/20 and Abhishek's team received 18/20.
NOTE:In Week 13, the total score was of 80 points per contestant (40 points for Friday & 40 points for Saturday). On Saturday, being on 'TOP' Jasveer's jodi didn't had to perform, so their total was out of 40 points, but the other two jodi's who were in danger-zone had to perform. After the performances, both Abhishek's & Kushal's jodi's had a tie, so the decision of elimination was made with the help of audiences votes.

*Note:The elimination is based on the performances on Saturday (last week) and Friday (the following week); the 2 Jodi's that are in danger zone than perform on Friday and the elimination takes place. The judges' votes, combined with the viewers' votes determine elimination.
*Note:There was no elimination in week 10 because of the "tie" between the two bottom jodi's (Aneek & Shyantani AND Sanchita & Kushal).
*Note::: In week 11, Sanober & Mussarat's jodi was disqualified because Sanober didn't show up to perform on the show. Though Mussarat gave a solo performance and received a total of 12 points out of 20 on Saturday (August 16), but since Sanober didn't show up the jodi was eliminated.

Guests appearance

Controversy

Abhijeet bhattacharya made bad comments of Pakistani sensation Atif Aslam and asked the contestants not to sing his songs on stage. He remarked that he (Atif Aslam) used software for his songs. This made Abhijeet Bhattacharya's popularity to go to an all-time low.
