'Maja Ma' actress Madhuri Dixit and 'Murder Mubarak' actress Karisma Kapoor are two of the most beloved celebrities since the 1990s.

The story follows the love triangle of the lead trio and leads to an iconic dance-off between the lead actresses.

Karisma Kapoor appeared as a guest judge for the latest episode of Dance Deewane. In the promo clip shared by the show, the beautiful actresses performed the unforgettable dance off after almost 27 years since the film's release. 'Hera Pheri' actor Suniel Shetty acts as a judge of the dance show, who gave a standing ovation for the ladies' performance. Applauding, he said, 'Tab bhi dil aap dono ke liye pagal tha, aur aaj bhi dil pagal hai. (You drove everyone's hearts crazy back then, and you continue to do it even today.) The greatest dancing stars of our industry and country.'

The show's host, Bharti Singh, thanked the actresses by saying, 'Today, you both have fulfilled our big wish. I remember that this film has been everyone's favourite even now, people watch it with full dedication when it comes on TV. I remember every moment from this film.'


Fun fact about Karisma's role Dil Toh Pagal Hai

One interesting backstory about Dil Toh Pagal Hai is that no actress wanted to play Karisma's role back then. The actress had to play a supporting role against Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, as well as challenge Bollywood's dancing diva at the same time, which may have seemed like an unsurmountable challenge back then. Leading heroines like Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Urmila Matondkar, Raveena Tandon, and Manisha Koirala rejected this opportunity before Karisma. It's worth noting that the actress went on to receive a National Film Award for her role in this film.

Karisma Kapoor will be next seen in her debut web series, 'Brown'. It will be a crime and thriller drama and will be released on Zee5. Likewise, Madhuri Dixit is set to appear in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and is rumoured to have a dance off against Vidya Balan.
