Madhuri's
Marathi
thaska
Lavani is the
flavour of the
season — and the
Dhak dhak girl will
be doing just that
at the finale of a
dance reality show
Chaya Unnikrishnan
She is the original dancing diva, who has been a
source of inspiration for
many actresses. We are
talking about Madhuri
Dixit, who besides dancing with Sridevi, will be
seen performing the traditional Maharashtrian
folk dance lavani in the
grand finale episode of
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
Draped in a pink
navari sari with a gold
nathh and a big bindi on
her forehead, this
Marathi mulgi mesmerised everyone present on the sets when she
danced to her hit number Main Kolhapur se
aayi hu, after a decade.
She also performed on
other popular songs Apsara Aali and Hichki.
The dances were choreographed by Harshal who
seemed to be in awe of
her, says a source. "Madhuri learnt the steps in
no time and it was shot
late on Tuesday night, after shooting for the regular episode the entire
day. But she didn't look
tired at all. She just
changed into the costume and put in all the
efforts to make the
episode special. After
every step she was seen
giving her own inputs, as
she is a trained dancer.
Her energy and enthusiasm was contagious. Seeing her dance, the audience couldn't stop clapping and whistling,"
adds the source.
Madhuri's husband
Sriram Nene was by her
side through the rehearsals and the shoot.
"He was the one who
kept her spirits up by
rooting and cheering for
his lovely wife," says a
source from the sets. In
fact, after every shot
Madhuri would go to her
husband who was sitting
with the production
head and ask him if it
was looking alright. "It
was really sweet to watch
them together," says the
source. The finale
episode will be aired this
Sunday.
