Devdas’ song, Dola Re Dola, will be iconic forever. Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai shared the stage floor, leaving the audience mesmerised. Recently, Rubina Khan, a former associate of the late choreographer Saroj Khan, claimed that Dixit was pregnant during the shoot of the song. She said in a recent interview that the actress was four months pregnant and because of that, she felt dizzy and couldn’t turn properly.

Now, amid the promotions of her upcoming Netflix film, Maa Behen, Madhuri denied the claim and laughed off the rumour. Madhuri Dixit reacts to claim of being pregnant during Devdas' shoot In an interview with Indian Express/Screen, Madhuri clarified that she was not pregnant during the shoot of the Dola Re Dola song. The actress laughed and said, “Arin (her elder son) is born in 2003. So, you do the math." Dixit further clarified that she was under the weather because she was travelling frequently. “I was going back and forth, shooting here and going back.

And all my shoots were night shoots. So, for me, it was very grueling. I was a little under the weather, but nothing like that," Madhuri added. Madhuri Dixit's Dola Re Dola song pregnancy rumour Talking to Bollywood Thikana, the late Saroj Khan’s associate claimed that Dola Re Dola took 17 days to shoot and the rehearsals were going on for a month.

Madhuri and Aishwarya were made to rehearse separately. “There's a step in which Madhuri ma'am turns and sits down. That shot kept happening from 9 am to 10 pm because she was four months pregnant. So, she couldn't turn properly and was feeling dizzy," Rubina said in the interview. Khan also revealed that Madhuri had a fever at that time and she ‘struggled’ a lot with the tough choreography. “She'd never ask for a step to be changed.

Whatever Masterji said was set in stone. Newer artists would still tell Masterji a step was tough and ask if it could be changed.

But Masterji would seldom change a step she had suggested. She insisted on doing the same step anyhow,” she mentioned in the interview.
