"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!
On
Madhuri
Dixit's
54th
birthday
today
(May
15,
2021),
we
bring
you
10
of
her
most
popular
dance
numbers
which
hold
a
special
place
in
our
hearts.
1.
Choli
Ke
Peeche
Kya
Hai
(Khalnayak)
A
charming
Madhuri
Dixit
donning
a
bridal
red
and
gold
Rajasthani
folk
lehenga,
took
the
nation
by
storm
with
her
sultry
dance
moves
in
this
song
from
Subhash
Ghai's
Khalnayak.
Choreographed
by
late
Saroj
Khan,
the
song
is
a
crowd
pleaser
which
continues
to
receive
claps
and
whistles
even
today.
2.
Ek
Do
Teen
(Tezaab)
This
song
catapulted
Madhuri
Dixit
to
stardom
as
Mohini.
"I
told
them
[Saroj
Khan
and
her
team]
the
crowd
has
gone
wild,
they
are
tearing
their
clothes
with
excitement,
that's
the
kind
of
wild
dance
I
wanted...
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.
3.
Humko
Aaj
Kal
(Sailaab)
Millions
of
hearts
skipped
a
heartbeat
when
Madhuri
Dixit
dressed
up
as
a
Marathi
mulgi
and

Didi

Devar
Deewana
(Hum

dance
moves
was
the
highlight
of
this

from
Sooraj
Barjatya's

Koun!
Salman
Khan's
entry
in
the
latter
portion
of
the
track
is
the
icing
on
the
cake.
I
am
sure
most
of
you

dance
moves
from
'Mera
Piya
Ghar
Aaya'
in
front
of
the

Kay
Sera
Sera

What
happens
when

Bollywood's
dancing
queen
Madhuri
Dixit
and
India's
Michael
Jackson
Prabhu
Deva
in
one
frame?
You
get
a
song
that
has
blockbuster
written
all
over
it!
"When
Madhuri
dances,
it's
like
fire
and
lightning
together,"
Prabhu
Deva
had
said
in
one
of
his
interviews.
Well,
she
even
nailed
the
moonwalk
like
a
pro!
8.
Maar
Dala
(Devdas)
Madhuri
Dixit's
iconic
song
'Maar
Dala'
is
a
textbook
on
how
to
ace
facial
expressions
when
it
comes
to
dance.
The
way
the
actress
portrayed
emotions
with
her
face
gives
us
goosebumps
even
today.
"The
words
Maar
dala
were
said
in
four
different
ways.
We
played
with
the
expressions,"
the
dhak
dhak
girl
recalled
in
an
interview.

song
from

Raj
Films'

Kathak
Dance-
Instrumental
(Dil
To
Pagal
Hai)
We
all
know
that
Madhuri
Dixit

Kathak
dancer.
This
jugalbandi
featuring
Shah

Dixit
never
fails
to
make
us
go
all
hearts.
"This
was
the
sequence
where
Shah
Rukh
Khan
is
on
the
drums
and
I
am
dancing
in
the
spotlight.
Maharaj
ji
(Pandit
Birju
Maharaj)
interpreted
all
the
drum
beats
as
various
expressions
of
a
peacock
dancing
with
abandon,"
the
actress
had
opened
up
about
this
classical
dance
piece
in
one
of
her
interviews.
Filmibeat

Madhuri

a

happy
