Dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (JDJ) has accomplished what Bollywood couldn't in two decades — bring Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Sridevi on screen together.
The two former Bollywood queens bonded like long-lost friends at the grand finale of JDJ. They were colour-coordinated and performed/danced together to Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau Choodiyan Hain (Sri's popular song from Chandni) and Dhak Dhak Karne Laga (Madhuri's popular track from Beta).
Madhuri played perfect host to Sri right from guiding her to her seat in the judging panel to making her feel at ease while performing on stage. She praised Sri's acting and wished her luck for her comeback movie, English Vinglish. In fact, the rapport between the two was there for all to see, as the actresses hugged and chatted between dances.
About her experience on the show, Sri said, "It was fun, like always." So, which is her favourite performance of Madhuri? "It would be a tough choice, but I like Dhak Dhak Karne Laga the most," she said. Sri got the male contestants grooving with a rousing performance of Rang Bhare Baadal Se (Chandni).
The men in Mads and Sri's lives stood by the sidelines cheering their better halves on. Madhuri's husband Sriram Nene was spotted smiling through all of his wife's dances. While Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor was present, he chose not to be seen on camera. He even requested the cast and crew not to inform Sridevi about his presence.
Filmmaker Karan Johar decided to turn anchor and quiz the two ladies in his rapid fire round on the dance reality show. KJo asked them the following questions.
Which is your favourite genre??
Sridevi: Comedy
She also said a few lines from her hit comedy film, Chalbaaz, “Jaani yeh chaku hai, lag jaye toh khoon nikalta hai.” Karan said it was a hysterical scene that had to be recreated.
Madhuri: Romance
To this, Karan said, “Haan, romance toh tumhe sab mein daalna hai, aakhir Dil to Paagal Hai.”
Which co-star was the most difficult to dance with? Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff or Sunny Deol?
Sridevi: “Anil ji is family, so I don’t think he will mind if I take his name”.
Madhuri: “I think I will have to say Jackie, not because he couldn’t dance, but because I couldn’t look in his eyes… He made me blush whenever I tried. Even when we were shooting Ram Lakhan, and I would sing, ‘Oh Ram ji’, I would blush.”
Who’s the better dancer? Hema or Rekha?
Sridevi: I think Madhuri ji.
Madhuri: “We will answer your question if you answer ours… Rani or Kajol? Who’s your favourite?” Karan replied, “You caught me, I can’t answer this, I would have to say Kareena.”
Out of the 3 Khans, Aamir, SRK and Salman, who is the better dancer?
Sridevi: ‘Apne three Student of The Year ke actors mein who’s the better dancer?’
Madhuri: “None of them are trained dancers. Each have their own characteristics that help them. For Amir, it’s his sheer hard work. For SRK, it’s his style and Salman has his own masti that helps him look good. All are charismatic in their own ways.
