On This Day - Madhuri Dixit's Birthday: Here's How She is Breaking Stereotypes by Teaching Her Son Kathak

The actress celebrates her 56th birthday today.

Madhuri Dixit is a name that does not need any introduction. Having appeared in over 70 films, she is inarguably one of the most celebrated actresses of Hindi cinema. Also, she rules the hearts of millions with her grace and ethereal beauty.

The actress is known for her roles in films like 'Tezaab', 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!', 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Ram Lakhan', 'Saajan', 'Parinda', 'Anjaam', and more.

However, the one thing that makes Madhuri stand out from all her contemporaries is her impeccable dancing skills. She is trained in the classical dance form 'Kathak', but is equally terrific when it comes to Western beats. Hailed as the Dancing Queen of Bollywood, Madhuri has several hit numbers to her name, such as "Ek Do Teen'', "Humko Aaj Kal", "Dhak Dhak", "Choli Ke Piche", and more.

How Madhuri Dixit is breaking stereotypes by teaching her son Kathak 

Madhuri Dixit has several times expressed her unconditional love for dance. And when it comes to dance, she is beyond all stereotypes that persist in our society.

In fact, she is breaking the stereotypes by teaching her son, Arin, Kathak.

A few years ago, she shared a video on her Instagram handle where she could be seen teaching Kathak moves to her son.

In the video, Arin could be seen playing the tabla while Madhuri was practicing some Kathak footwork. A few seconds later, she started teaching her son some Kathak moves.

The actress captioned the post, "Quarantine is making all of us do things that we’ve always wanted to. Watch till the end to find out what I have always wanted to do.
