When you hear “Dhak Dhak Girl,” your mind immediately races to the legendary Madhuri Dixit, right? But here’s the twist—did you know that this iconic title almost went to none other than Sridevi?
Madhuri Dixit’s meteoric rise to fame came with the massive success of Anil Kapoor’s 1992 blockbuster Beta. But did you know that the director’s first choice for the lead role was actually Sridevi? Yes, it’s true!
In an exclusive interview, director Indra Kumar revealed that Sridevi was his initial pick for Beta. But after she declined the role, Madhuri stepped in, and the rest is history. That decision changed her career forever.
Surprisingly, even the director didn’t predict how big the film would get. Beta went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 1992.
And let’s not forget Madhuri’s unforgettable dance moves in “Dhak Dhak Karne Laga,” which cemented her as the “Dhak Dhak Girl” forever. The song became an anthem, and from there, Madhuri’s career skyrocketed, turning her into a Bollywood superstar. The rest, as they say, is history!
