Vidya, who was recently seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, once dreamed of becoming a "Junior Madhuri Dixit."

Madhuri’s Tezaab Tornado
It’s no surprise that Tezaab was such a blockbuster that it made many aspire to become like Madhuri. Although Vidya couldn’t become Madhuri, she graciously acknowledges that at least she got to pursue her dream of acting, thanks to divine intervention. Directed by N. Chandra, Tezaab was released in 1988 and it catapulted Madhuri Dixit to stardom, with Anil Kapoor starring alongside her in this action-romance drama. 🎥💃

Recently, Vidya Balan appeared in Anees Bazmee’s horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with none other than Madhuri herself. Vidya’s portrayal of the haunting dancer, Manjulika, received heaps of praise. Madhuri played the role of Mandira, with Mandira and Mallika being the reincarnations of Manjulika and Anjulika in the film.
