Actor
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
who
recently
shot
for
the
recreated
version
of
the
'80s
song
"Ek
Do
Teen",
says
she
is
not
trying
to
match
up
to
Madhuri
Dixit
in
the
iconic
dance
number.
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
"Baaghi
2" will
showcase
Jacqueline
sway
to
the
beats
of
the
hit
track
song
from
"Tezaab",
originally
filmed
on
Madhuri.
At
a
media
interaction
here
last
evening,
the
actor
said
the
newer
version
of
the
song
was
her
tribute
to
the
dancing
diva.
She
said
that
things
got
easier
for
her
when
she
realised
it
was
impossible
to
compete
with
the
original
number.
"We're
not
trying
to
match
up
to
what
Madhuri
Dixit
did.
We
are
not
trying
to
match
up
to
what
Saroj
(Khan)
ji
did!
We
are
honestly
here
as
fans,
big
big
fans
of
their
work,"
she
said.
"This
is
honestly,
more
than
anything,
a
tribute
to
an
amazing
and
iconic
number
that
they
gave
to
us,
which
is
"Ek
Do
Teen".
For
me,
as
an
actress,
this
is
such
an
honour,"
she
added.
Jacqueline
said
performing
on
the
song
for
her
is
a
dream
come
true."For
any
girl,
this
would
be
a
dream
song
to
do.
I
feel
really
blessed
that
I
have
been
given
this
opportunity."
"I
know
I
would
never
be
able
to
match
up
to
Madhuri
Dixit...
That's
not
something
that
I'm
even
going
to
attempt.
You
cannot
replicate
someone
like
Madhuri
Dixit.
There
is
only
oneMadhuri
Dixit."
To
prepare
for
the
song,
the
32-year-old
actor
said
she
watched
several
videos
of
Madhuri
for
about
a
month
to
observe
her
dancing
skills
and
expressions.
"I
have
always
been
her
fan,
but
when
I
dove
deep
into
the
work
that
she's
done,
my
respect
grew
even
more,"
she
said.

Khan,
"Baaghi
2"
features
Tiger
Shroff
and
Disha
Patani.
The
film
is
scheduled
