Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor Recreate Iconic ‘Dance of Envy’ on Dance Deewane, Suniel Shetty Gives Standing Ovation
The upcoming episode of the talent show Dance Deewane is set to take viewers on a nostalgic journey back to the 1990s, with Karisma Kapoor joining her ‘Rakshak’ co-star Suniel Shetty and ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ co-star Madhuri Dixit as a guest judge.
In a promo for the upcoming episode, Madhuri and Karisma reunite to recreate their iconic ‘Dance of Envy’ from the 1997 Yash Chopra blockbuster romantic musical Dil To Pagal Hai. The performance, which was originally choreographed by Uttam Singh, sees the two actresses engage in an energetic face-off, showcasing their incredible dancing skills.
While they were dressed in black athleisure for the ‘Dance of Envy’ in the film, on the show, Karisma and Madhuri chose black and yellow ethnic outfits respectively. The live audience cheered on as they put on an energetic face-off, with Suniel Shetty giving them a standing ovation and hailing them as ‘the greatest dancing stars of our industry.’ Host Bharti Singh also showered praises on the two actors.
The internet couldn’t control its excitement either, with many users expressing their joy on social media. One Instagram user wrote in the comments section, ‘My all time favourite dance (heart eyes emoji).’ Another commented, ‘Seems like it was yesterday (red heart emojis) they still young omg (red heart and fire emojis).’ ‘The reunion we didn’t know we needed,’ posted a third one.
Interestingly, a lot of leading ladies were approached to play Karisma’s role of Nisha in Dil To Pagal Hai, but they didn’t want to play the supporting role in a Yash Chopra romance led by Shah Rukh and Madhuri. They also didn’t want to square off against Madhuri in the dance-off. After Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Urmila Matondkar, Manisha Koirala, and Raveena Tandon declined the part, Karisma eventually went for it and even won a National Award for her performance.
Karisma will be next seen in her debut show, Brown. Meanwhile, Madhuri is rumored to play a ghost alongside Vidya Balan’s Manjulika in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
