Recalling that time, Madhuri, who also has her online dance academy, said, "I had a competition with Karisma in Dil To Pagal Hai. It was wonderful. Shiamak (Davar) was the choreographer for that."
"The dancing was a little more jazz and contemporary and I was doing that style for the first time. I enjoyed when we danced. Karisma and I got along very well, so we had a great time," she added.
Madhuri is all praise for the grandeur with which Mr Bhansali shoots his songs.
Recollecting the days when she shot Dola re dola song with Aishwarya for Devdas, Madhuri said, "When I did Dola re dola with Aishwarya, Saroj Khanji had choreographed it and it was terrific. Sanjay Leela Bhansali had picturised it."
"There were many trolley shots and long shots and after a long time a song was being picturised on that level," she added.
