When Saroj Khan Said 'Dola Re Dola' Was Her Toughest Dance Number

"I have choreographed over 2000 dances till date. However, the Dola Re number in Devdas was the toughest. Choreographing two leading heroines for the same dance was a challenge. Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai are both brilliant dancers and I couldn't let either of them feel that they did not have good steps. I was scared that the one of them may feel left out, but luckily nothing untoward happened. Both of them loved the steps and put their heart and soul into the dance," the choreographer recalled in an interview.

Do You Know Madhuri Dixit Had Made A Pact With Saroj Khan?

Talking about it, the actress had revealed in an interview, "Saroj Khan always considered me to be a classical dancer. When Ek Do Teen was to be shot, she told me to rehearse, because it is a very Bollywood number. The camera, the angles are very important. And I wanted to learn about the Bollywood style of dancing so I rehearsed thoroughly. It was so much fun. After that, we made a pact that we will never repeat our steps in any song. We will come up with catchy hook steps for every number, and people will see the steps and remember the song forever."
