Karisma Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit recently treated their fans to their mini-reunion on Dance Deewane Sets. The stars, who had earlier worked together in the hit film Dil To Paagal Hai, also sent us on a nostalgic ride as they recreated the iconic ‘Dance of Envy’. A video of the same recently went viral on Instagram.
Have a look:
In the video, Madhuri and Karisma brought in their charm as they recreated the dance number. Suniel Shett was seen cheering for them. Fans flooded the comments section. One of them wrote, “Seems like it was yesterday ❤️❤️❤️ they still young omg ❤️❤️❤️.” Another one commented, “Two OG legends together ❤️❤️❤️❤️.” Another fan’s comment read, “OMG ❤️ … The reunion we didn’t know we needed.”
Helmed by Yash Chopra, the 1997 film also starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film continues to be as iconic today, even after 25 years of its release. Shiamak Davar, who made his debut as a choreographer with Dil Toh Pagal Hai, had earlier shared, that the film created a massive impact on the industry. The film’s iconic dance numbers, like Le Gayi and Dance Of Envy remain evergreen.
Not many know, but Karisma had initially rejected the film as it required her to compete with Madhuri Dixit in dance. It was later that her mom and actress, Babita Kapoor, encouraged her to take up the role.
During an event, the actress shared, “Every single heroine refused the film. The role came to me…it was a dance film, and that too, to work with opposite Madhuri Dixit, they said, ‘No, how can we dance alongside Madhuri Dixit ji?’ Initially, I too said no to it as it was a dance film and competition dance with Madhuri Dixit. I said, ‘This isn’t happening’. Then finally, Yash ji and Adi (Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra) narrated the story to me. My mother told me, ‘You must take up the challenge. You are a big fan of Madhuri Dixit; you must do it. You work hard, and you will shine.”
