Madhuri Dixit talks about co-judging ‘Dance Deewane’ with Suniel Shetty

Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit Nene, who has a career spanning over four decades, has opened up on her first collaboration with actor Suniel Shetty, pondering why they never worked together before.

She also called the latter “mind-blowing.”

Madhuri and Suniel are seen as the judges in the show “Dance Deewane.” Talking about the same, Madhuri said: “Suniel is mind-blowing on the show. This is my first collaboration with him, and I don’t know why we never worked together before. While we haven’t shared the screen in films, this opportunity emerged, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.”

“Initially, I sensed a bit of apprehension from him. As soon as he stepped onto the set and began sharing his comments, I was very impressed with his ease. The way he talks is amazing.

When viewers see him as a judge, they will love him immensely,” shared the “Saajan” fame actor. If Madhuri were given the chance to dedicate a song to Suniel and perform with him in the family theme set for this show, which song would it be?

She said: “Well, I love a song from one of his films titled “Jhanjhariya Uski Chanak Gayi” and I will definitely perform that song with him.” The song “Jhanjariya” is from the 1996 action film “Krishna,” starring Suniel and Karisma Kapoor. Madhuri added that Suniel is a wonderful person, very down to earth, and a beautiful human being.

Meanwhile, Madhuri, has returned as judge on the new season of “Dance Deewane” shared that she feels like revisiting a cherished tradition, calling the show a “melting pot of inclusivity.” After successfully capturing various dance forms in previous seasons and standing out for its inclusivity with the mantra, “Ab har age ko milega stage,” this edition welcomes fresh talent across three generations to compete for the coveted title of the ultimate ‘Dance Deewane’.
