New Delhi: Legendary actor and the 'Dhak Dhak' girl of Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit celebrates her 56th birthday on May 15. As much as the actress is known for her stellar acting chops, she is loved globally for her impeccable dancing prowess. In her illustrious career spanning over decades, Madhuri has given some renowned dance performances that will live on forever in the hearts of her followers. On the occasion of her 56th birthday, we have prepared a list of some of her most iconic dance numbers that show off her grace and poise. Because of the nostalgic atmosphere and feel of each of them, it will never get old. In our minds, they'll always be among our favourites.

Dhak Dhak (Beta)

Madhuri Dixit stunned the audience with this song. Her chemistry with Anil Kapoor in this song was unmatched. It is one of her most sensual performances and she looked stunning in an orange saree that showed off her midriff.

Ek Do Teen (Tezaab)

Madhuri Dixit's Ek Do Teen from Tezaab became an immediate hit in Bollywood. This song, which launched Madhuri's career as a world-class dancer, has remained a part of her legacy for decades.

Dola Re Dola (Devdas)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's cast and Madhuri Dixit's amazing dance skills made this period picture a must-see. Aishwarya Rai in Dola Re shared screen time with Madhuri and gave this outstanding dance performance. Madhuri and Aishwarya's elegant and graceful dance moves will never be forgotten. In this song, the actresses' enthusiasm remains unsurpassed.

Ghagra (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)

We were awestruck by Madhuri Dixit's beautiful dance skills in this song. On top of that, Madhuri exudes a fun spirit throughout the song. With Ranbir Kapoor, she radiates elegance and composure. The upbeat tune has a joyous feel to it, which Madhuri perfectly captures throughout the song.

Choli Ke Peeche (Khalnaayak)

This is going to be Madhuri's swoon song forever. In this song, Madhuri established herself as the ultimate dancing queen of Bollywood, and the song's inventive lyrics perfectly complemented her flawless moves. Saroj Khan’s choreography elevated Madhuri's star status even more.

Didi Tera Devar Deewana (Hum Aapke Hain Koun)

Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit's on-screen chemistry was the right mix of inventiveness and humour, and the film's soundtrack was one of the most popular at the time. Madhuri dressed in an eye-catching purple saree that was also a fashion trend at the time, making every young girl want to emulate her appearance. 

Madhuri's facial expressions and comic timing in ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’ were spot-on in her portrayal of a traditional Indian wedding scene. Our sangeet event is incomplete without this song. 

While these songs will always be remembered for their music and Madhuri's impeccable moves, there is a list of other songs including 'Maar Dala', 'Are Re Are Ye Kya Hua' and 'Que Sera Sera' among others, that will continue to celebrate the actor's dancing prowess.

We wish Madhuri Dixit a very Happy Birthday!
