Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit Nene took Bollywood fans on a nostalgic trip as she pays tribute to her contemporary of the 1980s, the late Sridevi, at the third edition of Lux Golden Rose Awards. Madhuri Dixit-Nene paid a touching tribute to late actor Sridevi by performing to her song Hawa Hawai on Sunday.
Another clip shows Aishwarya speaking about Madhuri’s amazing performance as she accepts an award.
“Madhuri your performance was amazing, we love you! The tribute to Sri Ji, we love you and miss you. God bless as you smile down upon us,” she said.
Madhuri also performed to Hema Malini’s Dreamgirl and to Helen’s Yeh Mera Dil and also danced to her own song, Tamma Tamma Loge.
"When I was approached to do this performance, it left me both overwhelmed and excited. Given that the Awards are supporting the HeforShe movement, I thought it was also time for the women, especially in Bollywood, to celebrate each other and express solidarity with each other. The Lux legends are truly iconic and inspirational, and my performance is purely to take fans down memory lane while revelling and celebrating their magic," Madhuri had earlier said.
Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kapoor and her Dhadak co-star Ishaan Khatter also put on an act inspired by their film at the event, to be co-hosted by Shah Rukh Khan and Varun Dhawan.
Janhvi said: "This stage is special to me because my mother was a Lux superstar. I am glad to be performing for my first ever awards night with my favourite co-actor and friend Ishaan, since he has always supported me up to this stage in my career. Since this is my first performance, I am working extra hard on perfecting my moves and I hope the audiences will shower us with lots love again."
