If you have grown up in the 90s, you probably have the dance routine of Madhuri Dixit Nene's Tezaab number, "Ek Do Teen" by heart. This was the time, every little girl who was exposed to Bollywood wanted to dance like her. Madhuri Dixit Nene is that rare combination of being a flawless actor, graceful dancer and a gorgeous star. The popular actress turns 52 today and if you happen to look at her recent pictures, we bet you'll think the actress is anti-ageing.
Madhuri Dixit shot to fame in the 90s for her infamous dance moves. Being a trained dancer, she had the perfect expression and the right amount of grace that is quite a rare find today. Her last screen performance was Kalank and if "Tabah Ho Gaye" made you swoon, wait till you look at some of her iconic dance performances from before. Madhuri Dixit is all praises for her Kalank choreographer Saroj Khan, says 'Tabahi' song belonged to her.
1, Ek Do Teen
Madhuri's killer moves in this song became a signature in no time. The catchy song needed some amazing moves to make it even better. It's impossible to replicate Madhuri's charm from this song and we think the recent remake featuring Jacqueline Fernandez was a clear indication of that.
2. Dhak Dhak Karne Laga
Madhuri Dixit came to be popularly known as the 'Dhak Dhak' girl after this song. The Beta track is till today considered to be one of the most sexist songs in Bollywood. The only other person we enjoyed dancing to this song was Ranveer Singh's performance on Koffee With Karan.
3. Chane Ke Khet Mein
This song from Madhuri's 1994 film Anjaam is one of the many and famed collaborations of the actress and choreographer Saroj Khan. The choreographer is known to be extremely fond of the actress and believes that no one can come close to dancing like Madhuri. The hook step of this song became a sensation in the 90s.

4. Ke Sera Sera
There's nothing better than watching two great performers like Madhuri and Prabhudheva dancing together. This song from the film Pukar is one of the best dances we have seen from the actress outside the classical genre. While Prabhudheva is known for his locking and popping skills, it was amazing to see Madhuri match steps with him with equal vigor.
5. Maar Daala
With this song, Madhuri truly had us 'Maar Daala'. The Devdas song not only had a gorgeous setup but the actress' graceful moves left a lasting impression. Madhuri looked stunning in the Green Kathak outfit and footwork in the song was par excellence. There's no other actress who could have pulled off this song as beautifully as she did.
6. Ghagra
In 2013's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Madhuri Dixit was seen in a special song, "Ghagra" along with Ranbir Kapoor and it is one of the biggest chartbusters ever. The song is favourite among Indian weddings and Madhuri's signature steps in this song are so popular that even kids had picked up on them.
We hope Madhuri Dixit keeps giving us more such lovely dance numbers and we keep trying to emulate her moves. What better way to celebrate her birthday than to dance away on the actress' popular songs. Which is your favorite Madhuri Dixit dance number, tell us in the comments below!
