<p>When asked to rate today’s B-Town heroines on their dancing ability, kathak maestro pandit Birju Maharaj wittily remarked, “Just the other day, I was watching Katrina Kaif on TV. Usko naachna nahi, hilna aata hai! (She cannot dance, only shake her body). <br /><br /></p>.<p>Today’s heroines have no personality and can’t carry a dance on their shoulders. They are nowhere in the same league as Waheeda Rehman or Meena Kumari and think whatever they do is the right thing.” <br /><br />The maestro, who has worked for films like Dil To Pagal Hai and Devdas, shares it was a pleasure to work with Madhuri Dixit, who has attended his workshops twice.<br /><br /> “She has no ego hassles and even after a dance sequence was okayed, she asked for suggestions. Recently, I taught Kamal Hassan a few kathak steps for his film Vishwaroopam. He is a very eager learner.”<br /><br /> </p>
