Kriti Sanon had a fan-girl moment when she turned up as a celebrity guest on the reality show, Dance Deewane 2, and came face-to-face with Madhuri Dixit who features as a regular judge. The actress couldn’t stop gushing over her idol, recalling how, as a child, she would imitate Madhuri’s dialogue from her films in front of the mirror and also perform to her Raja chartbuster, “Akhiyaan Milaoon Kabhi Akhiyaan Churaoon” whenever she was asked to dance. She then expressed a desire to dance with the diva on stage on the same song and Madhuri was happy to oblige.

“It was a surreal experience. I have seen this dance on TV and now performing with Madhuri on the same song feels like an achievement. I don’t wish for anything else, I have fulfilled my ultimate dream,” Kriti gushed afterwards.

She was accompanied by her Arjun Patiala co-star, Diljit Dosanjh and the duo performed a Garba with the families of contestants, Tweesha Patel and Vihan Trivedi.
