Right from starting the rehearsals 10-15 days before the shoot to shooting with a real crowd of 1,000 people, the song has been so special. Send me your questions & share your memories of the song with me,” she asked fans on social media.

Madhuri further recalled how the song was such a success and was so loved by the audience that people would throw money on the theatre screens. 

The hook step became so popular at that time. I was shocked to know that people used to demand the song to be replayed in the theatres before the movie could continue & fling money on the screens. Everyone had started calling me Mohini. Wow, this song brought back many memories.

The dancing diva was asked “We believe the male version of #EkDoTeen was shot after the movie release since your version became so popular! This was a first of its kind song to have something like this. Did you always know it would gain popularity?” to which she replied saying:

 “I didn’t know that the song would get so popular. But it definitely feels great that it did!”
