- The iconic 'Dola Re Dola' song took 17 days to film.
- Saroj Khan instructed dancers from the floor due to severe pain.
The filming of the renowned 'Dola Re Dola' from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas presented significant challenges for lead actress Madhuri Dixit. It has been revealed that during the extensive 17-day shoot, which followed a month of separate rehearsals, Madhuri was four months pregnant. She also battled a fever, making demanding sequences particularly arduous.
One specific move, where Madhuri turns and sits, required numerous takes from 9 am to 10 pm due to her condition. Despite feeling dizzy and unwell, she reportedly never requested any alterations to Saroj Khan's choreography, demonstrating remarkable commitment.
Saroj Khan, the celebrated choreographer, also endured considerable pain during the filming. Bhansali recalled her determination, stating she would lie on the floor to give instructions. Her passion was evident even after the film's release, when she inquired about the audience's reception to the song while in the hospital.
