Who can forget Pooja and Nisha’s iconic dance-off in Yash Chopra’s Dil To Pagal Hai (DTPH ) Madhuri Dixit romanticized the dreamer in Pooja with grace and beauty, while Karisma Kapoor‘s effervescent Nisha exuded that uninhibited edginess of youth and angst of unrequited love. The duo’s love triangle with Shah Rukh Khan’s Rahul (naam toh suna hoga) set the screen on fire.

It was thus, special for fans to see Karisma and Madhuri recently recreate their dance face-off titled Dance Of Envy on the stage of the dance reality show Dance Deewane. They also shared a reel that had them shaking a leg to Koi Ladki Hai from DTPH.

At the Bombay Times Fashion Week, while talking to us, Karisma recalled her recent reunion with Madhuri and the reel that went viral. She said, “It was amazing and a lot of fun. MDji as I call her, is also a dear friend now. Growing up, I loved watching her movies and dance numbers. Ek Do Teen in Tezaab was my favourite track. Getting to work with her in DTPH itself was a big moment for me. Recreating the dance felt like we did it yesterday! We still remembered the steps and we laughed a lot.”

Pooja and Nisha’s dance-off has been recreated by fans on Instagram. Karisma who is aware how popular this song is even today, says, “I have seen those reels and I want to thank the fans. Recreating this iconic moment was special for me because she is someone I look up to.”
