We present a study of the morphology of star formation and the associatednuclear activity in a sample of 8 closely interacting southern galaxies, whichare in different stages of interaction, starting with nearly merged nuclei thathave one prominent bulge to more widely spaced interacting galaxies. We haveused Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) observations from the Ultraviolet Imaging telescope(UVIT), near-Infrared observations from the infrared survey facility telescope(IRSF) and archival optical data from the VLT/MUSE integral field spectrograph.Analysing resolved stellar populations across the disk of the interactinggalaxies can provide unique insights into how interactions affect galaxyproperties, such as morphology, star formation rates and chemical composition.We take advantage of the unprecedented capabilities of MUSE and UVIT to carryout a highly detailed spatially and spectrally resolved study of star formationrate, star formation histories, metallicity and AGN activity in the sample ofeight interacting galaxies which are in different stages of interaction. Mostof our sample galaxies are gas-rich and show evidence of recent, massive starformation in tidal tails, rings and spiral arms. This is evident from their FUVand H$\alpha$ emissions, which trace young, massive star-forming regions. Wecompared the star formation rate in the barred and unbarred galaxies in oursample and found that the barred galaxies do not show significant enhancementin star formation rate or large-scale difference in star formation morphologycompared to unbarred galaxies. IC5250 and NGC7733N, show extended nuclearoutflows of size $\sim$ 5 kpc and 8 kpc respectively.
