Mandira Bedi reveals Saroj Khan compared her dancing to Sunny Deol
Mandira does not require any form of introduction. She has been an important figure in the entertainment industry for decades and has done many roles. Apart from motivating fans with her workout clips, one of her most loved performances has been in the Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna song from DDLJ. During a recent interview with Zoom, she shared that she was told to shake her hips in the Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna song, which she never did in her life. Saroj Khan then told her not to dance like Sunny Deol and revealed:
“I was asked to put my hand on my head and shake my hips and I told her, ‘This body movement I don’t understand. Saroj ji said to me, ‘You are shaking your shoulders like Sunny Deol. You need to shake your hips, women shake hips.’ So I was traumatised. I don’t know how I got over the 4 days of that song.”
