This actress, who made her debut in 1984, became top heroine due to Sridevi's two mistakes, the mistakes were..., she is...
Here we are talking about actress Madhuri Dixit, who is also known as the 'Dhak-Dhak Girl' of Bollywood. Sridevi and Madhuri, both actresses, have given many big hits in their film careers. In the 80s, Sridevi was ruling Bollywood before Madhuri, but the films that Sridevi rejected fell into Madhuri Dixit's lap. There are not one but many such films that Madhuri got after Sridevi refused. All these films proved to be superhits and on the other hand, the Dhak-Dhak girl got a name and fame in Bollywood. Sridevi Rejected Tezaab and Beta
The film 'Tezaab,' released in the year 1988, was first offered to Sridevi. By this time, Sridevi had become the queen of Bollywood. Sridevi rejected this action flick to focus on a bigger project and Madhuri got a place in the film. The song 'Ek Do Teen' from the film is still a hit and Madhuri got the name 'Mohini' from this film. During this time, Madhuri was struggling in Bollywood and she made people crazy with her dance and beauty. After Tezaab, Sridevi also rejected the film Beta, which was released in 1992 and Madhuri got entry in this film. Beta became the highest-grossing film of 1992 and all the songs of the film proved to be chartbusters. Madhuri And Her Shining Era
The song 'Dhak-Dhak Karne Laga' from the film 'Beta' is still a hit and after this song, Madhuri got another name after Mohini, 'Dhak-Dhak Girl'. Madhuri had established herself in Bollywood by the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s and after this, the actress gave hit after hit in the 90s, which includes blockbusters like Ram Lakhan, Prem Pratigya, Tridev, Dil, Saajan, Khalnayak, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Raja, Prem Granth, Koyla and Dil Toh Pagal Hai. During this period, Sridevi's magic started to fade and only Madhuri Dixit was seen in every second film.

THIS blockbuster earned ₹27 crore, starred 3 superstars, all of them died one after another
Many Bollywood stars have passed away due to illness or health issues, leaving fans shocked and heartbroken, especially when their deaths were sudden and unexpected. One such emotional memory is tied to a romantic blockbuster which released 36 years ago, in 1989. Made by legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, it was the film Chandni which became a massive hit and ruled the theatres across India. It starred Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna in the lead, who are no more today. Besides them, the film also had Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher, Sushma Seth, Mita Vashisht, and Manohar Singh in key roles. Not only the storyline and its star-studded cast, the film is still etched in the hearts of the audience, thanks to its music, cinematography and dance performances. Chandni, released in 1989, was a major box office success. The film reportedly earned ₹ 27.2 crore, which is equivalent to approximately ₹ 291 crore in today's time. It was a huge success, considering it was made on a budget of just ₹ 8 crore. Undoubtedly, the film was a turning point for both Yash Chopra and the cast. Chandni starred three big names, the three superstars of the time —Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, and Sridevi, who delivered unforgettable performances of their lifetime in the film. Unfortunately, all three passed away around the same time. In fact, they died one after the other. Vinod Khanna died on 27 April 2017 after hospitalisation in Mumbai. He died due to bladder cancer at the age of 70. After Vinod, came the tragic news of Sridevi's death. Sridevi passed in 2018 under mysterious circumstances in Dubai, where she was with her family for Mohit Marwah's wedding. The Chandni actress was found dead in her guest room at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai, UAE. The cause of her death was cited as accidental drowning. Just two years later, Rishi Kapoor lost his long fight with cancer in 2020. After completing his treatment abroad, Rishi returned to India before COVID-19 cases surged in the country. He was admitted to Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital on 29 April 2020 after complaining about breathing difficulties. He passed away the next day from a recurrence of leukaemia. Even Chandni director, Yash Chopra, also passed away earlier in 2012. The cause of his death was said to be dengue, just before the release of his final film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. Despite the loss of the cast, Chandni remains one of Bollywood's most loved romantic films.
