Summary
- Choreographer Remo D'Souza called Madhuri Dixit the 'Lady Michael Jackson'.
- He admired her blend of grace, expressions, and unparalleled dance skills.
- Remo D'Souza shared his favorite Madhuri Dixit songs and dance performances.
Choreographer and director Remo D'Souza has reignited discussion by comparing Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. D'Souza referred to Dixit as the "Lady Michael Jackson," celebrating her unique combination of grace, expressive acting, and superior dance abilities.
His admiration for Dixit spans many years, even before he achieved significant fame in the film industry. D'Souza has often spoken about his fondness for her dance numbers, noting that contemporary actresses do not match her flexibility or emotional depth. He specifically cited "Ek Do Teen" from "Tezaab" as a performance he meticulously studied to teach a contestant.
While "Ek Do Teen" is iconic, D'Souza's personal favorite remains "Humko Aaj Kal Hai" from "Sailaab." Years of hoping to meet his idol culminated when they both judged the popular dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4," a moment he described as highly joyful.
D'Souza, who himself was heavily influenced by Michael Jackson's dance style, considered his comparison to Dixit a significant compliment. He also identified Hrithik Roshan and Prabhu Deva as Indian male performers capable of matching Michael Jackson's energetic and technically brilliant style.
