Karisma Went From Mimicking Madhuri’s Steps To Working With Her

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Actress Karisma Kapoor took a stroll down memory lane, recalling her experiences working with  Madhuri Dixit Nene, whom she has grown up “admiring”.

“I have grown up admiring her dances,” Karisma said.

The actress was talking about the star, who currently serves as judge on the dance-based reality show ‘Dance Deewane.’

Karisma shared: “I remember ‘Ek Do Teen’… coming from school watching it, trying to do the steps, and then I got a chance to work with her in a dance film. It was a big thing for me. And again, being here on set with her is always a pleasure and so much fun.”

Madhuri, called the Twinkle Toes of Hindi cinema, made her debut in 1984 with ‘Abodh’. Not just her acting prowess, but her dancing bowled the audience over on songs such as ‘Choli ke peeche’, ‘Mera piya ghar aaya’, ‘Ek Do Teen’, ‘Que Sera Sera’, and ‘Dhak dhak karne laga’, among many others.

Karisma and Madhuri first shared the screen in the 1997 film ‘Dil Toh Paagal Hai’, where their iconic face-off track ‘Dance of Envy’ became an instant hit.
