Kaun Banega Crorepati 18: Madhuri Dixit revisits Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Ek Do Teen’ dance from Toofan; Big B jokes, ‘Kahan-kahan se yeh log nikal ke la rahe hain’

Amitabh Bachchan was in for an unexpected throwback on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 when Madhuri Dixit revisited one of his most unusual dance performances. The actress had the megastar watch an old clip of himself attempting the iconic ‘Ek Do Teen’ steps, leaving him laughing and visibly embarrassed.During their conversation on the show, Amitabh recalled an instance when he had tried to recreate the popular dance move. Looking back at the memory, he said, “Ek baar humse badi gustakhi ho gayi thi. Ek film thi, humne woh… 1, 2, 3 aise peeche hat ke kiya tha.”Madhuri, intrigued by Amitabh’s recollection, asked to see the footage. The show’s team soon played the old clip, catching the veteran actor off guard.The footage was from Amitabh’s 1989 film Toofan, in which he performed a comic rendition of the dance associated with Madhuri’s ‘Ek Do Teen’. In the scene, the actor appears in a woman’s avatar and attempts the signature hip movements and steps from the popular number.As the clip played, Amitabh could not contain his laughter. Reacting to his younger self, the actor jokingly criticised his own attempt and said, “Arey baap re… Kahan-kahan se yeh log nikal ke la rahe hain… Ek acche gaane ko kis tarah kharab kiya jaaye, woh idhar dekha aapne abhi.”The original ‘Ek Do Teen’ featured Madhuri as Mohini in N Chandra’s 1988 film Tezaab. Sung by Alka Yagnik and Amit Kumar, the song was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, with Saroj Khan choreographing Madhuri’s now-iconic performance.Madhuri appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 as part of Amitabh’s birthday celebrations on the show.
