In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix show Heeramandi, the walk of Aditi Rao Hydari has gone viral. Many netizens are mimicking her walk on Instagram reels. Doing the walk, a video of a 54-year-old dancer from Chandigarh has impressed viewers. The OTT platform, Netflix India has also reacted to Neeru Saini’s video.
The video was posted on June 1 on Instagram and has gained more than 17 million views. Netflix India also came forward to comment on the video: “OBSESSED Neeru, tum bade WOW ho”, referring to the original dialogue, “Tum bade wo ho”.
In the Heeramandi web series, Aditi Rao Hydari plays Bibbo Jaan, who performs a ‘Mujra’ for Fardeen Khan’s character, the Nawab. After it started streaming online, the actor’s walk became extremely popular.
Bollywood fans would remember Madhubala in the song “Mohe Panghat Pe” from Mughal-E-Azam. She was probably the first one to ace the walk. Then, there was Madhuri Dixit in the title song of MF Hussain’s film Gaja Gamini. Under the guidance of choreographer Saroj Khan, Madhuri was appreciated for the walk as well.
