'Jackie toughest to dance with'

Dancing diva Madhuri Dixit says among all her co-stars, she found it toughest to groove with Jackie Shroff. And it wasn’t so because he had two left feet.

Dikhhla Jaa 5, judge Karan Johar made co-judge Madhuri, and special guest Sridevi, go through a rapid fire round, said a source.

He asked them: “Which co-star was the most difficult to dance with Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff or Sunny Deol? “Sridevi played safe and named her brother-in-law Anil, and said: “Anil ji is family, so I don’t think he will mind if I take his name.”

Madhuri recalled an experience of dancing with Sunny and Ajay Devgan on each side.
“Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke was a movie that I had done and we were shooting an out-and-out dance number where I had Ajay on my right and Sunny on my left. They were both really nervous and they said we’ll follow you, and I can tell you, we all did a lot of offbeat dancing, but it was great fun,” she said.

But when Johar taunted them both for achieveing a PhD in diplomacy, Madhuri opened up and said: “I think I will have to say Jackie, not because he couldn’t dance, but because I couldn’t look in his eyes. He made me blush whenever I tried. Even when we were shooting Ram Lakhan, and I would sing Oh Ramji, I would blush,” she said.
