Madhuri Dixit Once Watched Tezaab Disguised in Burqa
Madhuri Dixit once wanted to see how people reacted to her movie Tezaab.
She especially wanted to watch the song “Ek Do Teen” in a cinema.
She went to Chandan Cinema wearing a burqa so people would not recognize her.
She sat in the front row with others.
When the song began, people threw coins toward the screen, and some hit her group.
They quickly left the theatre.
Even though she was disguised, people recognized her in the lobby.
Tezaab was released in 1988 and became the highest-grossing Hindi film of that year.
