Reflecting on her most memorable rehearsal experience, Kapoor shared that Dil To Pagal Hai, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, remains the film she rehearsed for the longest.
Karisma Kapoor's Revelation
"We never really got much chance to rehearse, but I think the song that I rehearsed the longest for would probably be during Dil To Pagal Hai," she shared. Kapoor explained that the film, which marked the Bollywood debut of choreographer Shiamak Davar, brought together a dream team. She added that filmmaker Yash Chopra was determined to make the dance-based musical stand out, with the pressure to deliver something extraordinary.
Behind the Scenes
"Because we were working with Shiamak for the first time, and with Yash Chopra Ji, we wanted it to be exceptional. We wanted it to be amazing," Kapoor shared. Reflecting on the overwhelming success of Dil To Pagal Hai, Kapoor also used the opportunity to express gratitude for the love the audience continues to shower on the iconic musical even today.
The Biwi No 1 actress said, "Touchwood, it did turn out that way. I'm so thankful to the audience for loving Dil To Pagal Hai, Le Gayi Le Gayi, and the Dance of Envy so much."
Enduring Legacy
Dil To Pagal Hai still remains fresh in the memory of movie buffs even decades later for its songs, performances, and choreography. The movie is also special as Kapoor's performance as Nisha won her the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress.
