Madhuri Dixit Dance Film: Shahrukh Khan s dance film ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ was a blockbuster hit. Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor were in the female lead roles in this film. Madhuri Dixit was already cast in the film. The search was on for another actress. At that time, almost every actress had refused to do a film with Madhuri.
Actually, this was a dance film. There was to be a dance competition with Madhuri in the film. That is why all the actresses were backing out because Madhuri Dixit is an expert in dance. But finally Karishma did this film. Karishma had also refused to do this film earlier. Let’s know the whole story.
When Karisma refused to do the film
Karisma Kapoor had said, ‘As everyone knows, every actress had refused. In fact, I had also refused. How could I do a dance film with Madhuri Dixit? There is also competition dance in it. Everyone refused, so I thought I should also refuse. Aditya Chopra came again and he said that you should listen to the script again. At that time my mother was also with me in the narration. I thought what should I do. So my mother said that you must do this film.’
Karishma’s condition was like this before the shoot
‘Then on the day the dance entry was being shot, I started crying before the shot. I called my mother crying and said that I cannot do this. Why did you get me into trouble. How can I dance with Madhuri Dixit and that too in a competition. What should I do? My mother said you will do this and saying this she hung up the phone. Then I started crying even more and said what should I do. Then I thought that I have to do this for my mother because she has faith in me so now I have to do this. She hung up the phone but now I will show her that I can do this.’
