SAROJ KHAN and MADHURI DIXIT: Trend of main heroine doing suggestive/vulgar dances and songs.
Earlier, only vamp or item girl (called cabaret dancer back then) would do songs which had any suggestive tones to it. The heroine never did vulgar songs or suggestive dance moves. This duo changed it all with MD heaving her bosom into the camera in songs like Dhak Dhak and Choli ke peeche kya hai and doing all those suggestive dance moves given to her by Master ji Saroj Khan! It was since then expected of heroines also to drop the pallu and perform to songs with suggestive lyrics, allow camera to make them total object of male gaze!
Don't complain of Sheila or Chikni Chameli now. The roots lie somewhere else, in 25 year old movies!
