Did Janhvi Kapoor throw shade at Madhuri Dixit? 'Like' on Insta post on 'vulgar dance' sparks speculation
Actor Janhvi Kapoor has sparked a stir on social media after 'liking' a reel on Instagram that claimed actor Madhuri Dixit won an award for her "vulgar step" in a song, while her mother Sridevi's performance in Khuda Gawah was ignored. Also read: Param Sundari teaser: Sidharth Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor bring rom-coms back, fans can't get over Sonu Nigam's song Janhvi recently liked an Instagram Reel that drew a comparison between her mother, Sridevi, and Madhuri Dixit. The reel in question split the screen, juxtaposing two performances – one by Madhuri Dixit and the other by Sridevi. On one side, Madhuri Dixit's iconic dance sequence Dhak Dhak Karne Laga from the film Beta plays, with overlaid text reading, 'Madhuri in Beta - Did vulgar step song and did nothing in the movie and won Filmfare Best Actress award'. On the other side, Sridevi is shown in Khuda Gawah, which was also released in 1992, where she is seen giving an emotional speech. It came with text which read, 'Did double role with landmark acting that carried whole movie on her shoulder still Filmfare ignored her for Best Actress'. Notably, both films were released around the same time in 1992 – Beta starring Madhuri Dixit hit theatres on April 3, while Sridevi's film was released on May 8. A post shared by Old Bollywood (@magical_cinema1990) A screenshot of Janhvi's like on the reel has emerged on social media, especially on Reddit, sparking a debate among fans. One wrote, 'This is not the first time Sridevi was ignored ! She has given many powerful award winning performances'. The comments section is divided, with some users defending Madhuri's performances, while others feel Sridevi was under-appreciated. 'Not only this, Sridevi didn't get award for her Splendid performance in Laadla, Gumrah, Judaai, English Vinglish.. And unfortunately in 1986 and 1987 filmfare function was not happened, sri lost award for Mr. India and Nagina,' read one comment. One fan shared, 'Are we really surprised? This is Bollywood — it values dance, appearances, and glamour. No one cares about acting skills or talent'. One social media dismissed the debate as pointless, writing, 'All you guys need to get a life... I mean Madhuri vulgar in dhak dhak.... She was absolutely fantastic and show stellar in this song'. Meanwhile, others passionately argued over the merits of each actor's performances, with some labelling Madhuri's iconic song Dhak Dhak as sexy and fantastic. 'Madhuri Dixit without any doubt over Sridevi in khuda gawah for this year.... Madhuri was absolutely terrific in Beta,' one comment read. Another fan shared, 'Sorry but khuda guwah was not that good movie'. 'There is nothing vulgar about Dhak Dhak. It's so sexy,' shared one. 'Even she will come up with the algorithm story now," one social media user wrote on Reddit, referring to the controversy involving Virat Kohli and Tamannaah Bhatia, who claimed their Instagram accounts 'accidentally liked" a reel featuring Avneet Kaur and Deepika Padukone, respectively. Janhvi recently went to the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere and screening of her upcoming film Homebound. She will also be seen in Param Sundari opposite Sidharth Malhotra.

Madhuri Dixit's authentic Maharashtrian Kanda Poha recipe; here's how to make it for breakfast
Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Shriram Nene are one of the most beloved couples of Bollywood. Dixit, being the desi wife, and Nene, a green-flag bearer husband, serve the ultimate couple goals. The duo isn't any less magical in the kitchen either. The Dhak Dhak girl, along with her doctor husband, gave away the ultimate Indian soul food recipe, Kanda Poha, and took our hearts in return. Check out the recipe: Ingredients: Poha (flattened rice) 1 medium-sized onion 2 chillis Oil Mustard seeds Neem Patti (margosa leaves) Urad dal (Split white lentils) Turmeric Roasted peanuts Grated coconut (optional) Lemon Coriander leaves Salt Sugar How to make Kanda Poha, the Nene way Soak the poha - Madhuri suggests poha needs to be washed and soaked for only around 5 minutes, unlike sabudana (tapioca pearl or sago). While the poha soaks, chop the onions. Cooking along with Madhuri, Mr. Nene gets onto the chopping task, cutting those onions into half-moon shapes like a pro. Cut chillis - Madhuri made it clear that she does not like too spicy. So the actress suggests cutting a chilli in half and not into too many pieces. This helps take out chillis while eating and prevents them from being in each bite. Now that the poha is soaked, put two tablespoons of oil in the pan. Acting like true Indians in the kitchen, the Nenes put oil in the pan by intuition and not by measurement. When the oil gets hot, add mustard seeds to the pan. Wait for them to sputter before proceeding to the next step. Add 4-5 leaves of neem patti. But to avoid getting surprised like Nene, toss them carefully into the pan because they crackle and splutter. Add a tablespoon of urad dal. Now, this is Madhuri's way of making Kanda Poha. She likes to add a hint of South Indian taste to it. Also, she enjoys the urad dal's crunchiness with the damp poha. Once the urad dal turns slightly brown, add the Kanda aka onion. While adding the onions, Mr. Nene delightfully relishes in their aroma, enjoying the process to the fullest. After the onion softens, add turmeric. Dixit likes her onions crunchy in her poha, so she doesn't completely cook and soften them. While cooking, she also shared a little anecdote of when her mother used to make curd-poha sans turmeric. Now, goes in the main ingredient, your soaked poha. Mix the poha with the cooked onions well enough so each flattened rice is covered with the prepared tempering. Add salt to your taste and a bit of sugar to the prepared poha. The sugar helps create a balanced taste profile, cutting the overpowering taste of spices and salt. The poha is almost ready, but a Maharashtrian kanda poha is incomplete without roasted peanuts. Toss in some roasted peanuts for an enriched taste. Dixit likes to keep the peanut peel on; you can peel them off if you want. Now comes the magical ingredient. Squeeze a lemon in for that irresistible tanginess. Madhuri suggests squeezing the lemons after the plating so that each one can have the zest to fit their taste. Lastly, throw in some fresh coriander leaves for a complete and authentic kanda poha taste. And as Madhuri rightly said, you can either put a lot of coriander or the minimum amount, it wouldn't matter. However, what matters is that you place at least some coriander leaves on your poha. Referring to the Maharashtrian food buffs, the Maja Ma actress suggests adding grated coconut to your poha. However, it's optional. Hailing from the same Maharashtrian roots, Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Nene dished out the ultimate Kanda poha recipe while giving a glimpse of their unparalleled companionship. Rightfully concluding their poha-making process, Dr. Nene said, 'The journey is as good as the destination'.

'Dhak Dhak' or ‘Abbanee Tiyyani': The iconic Madhuri Dixit song that borrowed its beat from Ilaiyaraaja's Telugu hit
Madhuri Dixit 's iconic ' Dhak Dhak Karne Laga ' from the 1992 film 'Beta' has long been associated with her sensual screen presence and enduring star power. Draped in a yellow satin saree, her performance was a turning point in how Bollywood portrayed female desire and agency. Choreographed by Saroj Khan and sung by Anuradha Paudwal and Udit Narayan, Madhuri's magnetic performance captivated audiences and solidified her status as the 'Dhak Dhak' girl. With music by Anand Milind and lyrics by Sameer, the song became a cultural reference point, etched in the memory of every '90s Bollywood fan. The hidden origin: From Sridevi to Madhuri But what many fans didn't realize for years is that the tune of 'Dhak Dhak' was not original. The melody was lifted from Ilaiyaraaja 's 1990 Telugu song ' Abbanee Tiyyani ' from 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari,' which starred Sridevi and Chiranjeevi . Sung by SP Balasubrahmanyam and KS Chithra, the original version carried a romantic yet innocent charm and was picturised in an open garden-like setting, far removed from the overt sensuality of 'Beta.' While the Hindi version became a sex symbol-defining moment, it owed its musical soul to a completely different cultural and cinematic context. A plagiarised tune in the golden age of Bollywood by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like In Nordrhein-westfalen tragen Seniorinnen jetzt diese Sandalen Sandalen im Trend Undo The 1990s are often remembered as a golden age for Bollywood music , but it was also a period rife with musical plagiarism. Music composers like Anand Milind, Jatin-Lalit, Nadeem-Shravan, and Anu Malik were competing fiercely, and many resorted to 'inspired' tracks—often lifted directly from South Indian or international music. 'Dhak Dhak' was one such case where commercial pressure led to a borrowed melody finding mass appeal. Composer's regret, audience's amnesia Years later, Anand Milind admitted in an interview with The Indian Express that they were 'forced' by producers to use specific tunes and that plagiarism was often beyond their control. 'Today, I regret what we did,' said Anand. Despite the regrets, the song's popularity has endured—its origin story buried under decades of admiration and nostalgia.
