Madhuri humorously reflected on her iconic song choices, saying, “I said, choli pe hogaya, aab ghagra pe karte hai. (Song on Choli is done; now let's make a song on ghagra). And then I did Dupatta Mera also for The Fame Game. So, dupatta is done.”
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is considered one of the most beloved Bollywood films of all time. Directed by Ayan Mukherjee and produced by Dharma Productions, it features a stellar cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kalki Koechlin, Kunaal Roy Kapur, and Farooq Shaikh.
