30th July 2026 Mumbai: In an upcoming episode of featuring legendary icons of bollywood Meenakshi Seshadri and Jaya Prada to this stage, contestant Dipali and choreographer Tushar delivered an exceptional India Wala Dance performance to the iconic track ‘Jaane Do Mujhe Jaana Hai’ from the blockbuster film Shahenshah. Stunned by the Dipali and Tushar’s creative interpretation, Meenakshi Seshadiri applauded their efforts and recalled her memories of shooting this iconic dance track with Amitabh Bachchan for the first time back then on Sony Entertainment Television’s India’s Best Dancer Season 5.

Meenakshi Seshadiri recalled the experience of shooting this track by saying, “I think uss film mein pehli baar hot air gas balloon ki shooting hui thi in India. I think that was the first time. Aur ek balloon mein chadh ke iss gaane ki picturisation karna it was apne aap mein a huge thing and that too it was just Amit ji and me on that balloon. Shahenshah was my first film with Amitabh Bachchan ji and I am sure Jaya ji will vouch for this fact ki woh rehearsal mein bahut vishwas rakhte hain. Rehearse more and more, and gets better with every rehearsal, with every retake. Aur main with every rehearsal and retake, I would get worse. So I finally had to request him to go for the first take. Bahut kuch seekha maine unse uss film ke dauraan. And it was my good luck ki mujhe apne career mein itne jaldi mein itne acche mahan kalakaar ke saath kaam karne ka mauka mila.”

By channeling the magic of Shahenshah, Dipali and Tushar not only won the hearts of the judges but also prompted Meenakshi Seshadri to look back at her early days with Amitabh Bachchan, which made this episode memorable.
