The actor, who is a participant in the show with wife Riddhi Dogra, has injured his knee and has been advised to avoid dancing and other strenuous activities.

"The cartilage tissue in my knee joint has got damaged a bit, so the doctor has advised me to take rest. No dancing, no cycling, no running," Raqesh told reporters here Tuesday on the set of the show.

"I am being a bit careful now as health comes first. Besides, there are other projects as well, so I have to concentrate on them also. So it is very important to be fit now," he added.
