With her son’s birth date and the film’s release date, she invited everyone to “do the math.” Here’s the full story behind the claim and the actor’s clear response.
Madhuri Dixit's Pregnancy Rumour During Dola Re Dola
Rubina Khan made her claim in a podcast on the YouTube channel Bollywood Thikana. Speaking about Dola Re Dola, she said, “There’s a step in which Madhuri ma’am turns and sits down. That shot kept happening from 9 am to 10 pm because she was four months pregnant. So, she couldn’t turn properly and was feeling dizzy. She also had a fever at that time. She struggled a lot. She’d never ask for a step to be changed. Whatever Masterji (Saroj Khan) said was set in stone”.
This statement quickly went viral, leading many to believe Madhuri was expecting while filming the demanding dance number. But Madhuri Dixit shut down the claim during an interview with SCREEN. In an interview with the Indian Express/Screen, Madhuri clarified that she was not pregnant during the shoot of the Dola Re Dola song.
