Happy Birthday Madhuri Dixit: 10 Songs Of 'Dhak Dhak' Girl Which Will Make You Hit The Dance Floor Right Away
"Dancing has been my passion since the age of 3, and it just grows stronger with time," Madhuri Dixit had made a candid confession in one of her interviews. No doubt the diva makes several hearts go 'dhak dhak' with her killer expressions and alluring moves each time she hits the dance floor.
As an eight-year-old kid, the actress performed at Hindustani classical singer Anjanibai Lolekar's house in the presence of other classical musicians. "I was just thrilled that I got an opportunity to dance again. When my name appeared in a newspaper the next day, I was extremely happy," the actress recalled. Little did she know back then that she would end up as the dancing queen later in her life.
Right from Alia Bhatt to Yami Gautam, every actress idolizes Madhuri Dixit in some way or the other, with her acting chops, her dance, her grace or her smile, which makes everyone go weak in their knees. Ranbir Kapoor admitted having a childhood crush on Madhuri while Hrithik Roshan still aspires to be her hero on screen. In short, nobody can resist the enigmatic star's charm!

This song catapulted Madhuri Dixit to stardom as Mohini.

And when she (Saroj Khan) composed the dance for the song, she told me to see and finalise it before Madhuri could rehearse. And I went and when I saw the signature movement itself I was convinced that she has hit the right note," director N Chandra recalled in the documentary The Saroj Khan Story.
