Two: she could make the silliest choreography look graceful. A student of kathak since the age of 3, Dixit's first love was dance, not cinema, and this is evident from the way she's lit up the screen in songs picturised upon her. Over the decades, Dixit's performances have transformed many songs that could have been tacky or mediocre otherwise into unforgettable numbers.

"Doing a song with her (Madhuri) means I can strike one item off my wish list,” Kapoor said in an interview.Īlthough she made her debut at the age of 17 in the film Abodh (1984), Dixit caught Indian audience's attention in Tezaab (1988) with the song Ek Do Teen. She's 46 years old today and in celebration, the producers of Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwani have released a first look of the song Ghagra, in which Madhuri Dixit does an item number with the star of the film, Ranbir Kapoor.
