Madhuri Dixit is one of the finest actresses in Indian cinema, and there can be no doubts about it. The diva has ruled over a zillion hearts, courtesy of her charismatic personality, million-dollar smile, acting prowess and whatnot.

The diva, with tons of commendable films in her kitty has garnered widespread fame within a short while. We recently came across a video featuring the two generations-apart actresses, which has become a huge matter of debate.
Taking to the discussion portal, Reddit, an internet user recently shared a clip of Madhuri Dixit and Janhvi Kapoor as they were seen sharing the stage together for the first time. While the actresses are surely set generations apart, it was their love for dance which brought them together. In the clip, Janhvi, clad in a sultry red gown, could be seen trying to match steps with Madhuri Dixit, who looked beautiful in a green saree. The duo were seen flaunting their adaa on the latter’s iconic song from Devdas, titled Maar Daala.

As soon as the video was shared, eagle-eyed netizens took note of the same and immediately took to the comment section and pooled in their witty reactions.

Moreover, a few others bashed the latter for her apparent audacity to imitate the legendary actress’ moves. While one user commented, “I don't get it, Janvi is not attractive. Here clearly, we can see comparing watermelon to grape seeds”, another netizen penned, “I can see JK trying but she's trying too hard, Madhuri without any extra muscle moving is giving it all.”

Madhuri Dixit’s love for classical dances are not unknown to anyone. In her prolific filmography across decades, the diva has quite frequently treated her fans with some of the most graceful dance moves. Previously, in an interaction with Bollywood Bubble, Madhuri Dixit narrated how people used to judge her for not giving up on her dance despite being a mother to two sons. In her words:
“Aisa hota hai ki alag alag logon ki alag alag soch hoti hai, aur bohot se log aise kehte hai ki aap to maa ban gayi hai abhi aap kyu dance kar rahi hai. Aap baithiye, aap ghar dekhiye, aap aisa kijiye aap waisa kijiye. Lekin mujhe aise lagta hai ki yeh toh hum sab karte hi hai. You know, bachho ko dekhna ya ghar sambhalna, yeh sab karte hi hai. Kuch apne liye, apna bhi ek wajood, apna bhi ek personality hoti hai. Aap ko khud bhi aap ke apne bhi emotions bhi hai. Kuch aise cheezein hai jo aap chahte hai life mein. Kuch aap apna karna chahte ho.”

For the unversed, Janhvi Kapoor is the daughter of the superhit actress, late Sridevi. In one of her earlier interviews on the AajTak Agenda event, the star-daughter talked about being constantly compared with her mother, and shared how she deals with such a great pressure like this. She mentioned:
“I don’t think anybody can do what she did, anybody is as versatile as she is. The level at which she would operate I don’t think anybody can cope with that leave me alone! But in today’s generation, the actresses get compared to her dance moves, every step, every performance. My sister and I would initially stress a lot and get very nervous, overburdened with the baggage. But then I began to understand that I’m being compared to Mumma so that’s the standard!”
