"The moment anyone hears Madhuri Dixit's name there is a smile on all cinema lovers' faces. I believe the kind of talent and grace that she possesses is very rare and exceptional," Davar said.

Madhuri's Humble Nature
"Her humble nature and the way she expresses herself on the screen makes her a 'Diva'. She is absolutely remarkable in all her performances. Out of all her performances, I loved her in 'Ek do teen', 'Dola re dola', 'Choli ke peeche', 'Ankhiya milaao kabhi' and 'Kay sera sera'," he added.

Talking about "Dil To Pagal Hai" dance sequences, the choreographer said: "'Dil To Pagal Hai' has received immense love and respect across the nation. The movie is a milestone in my life as I received the National Award for choreographing in the film. And of-course, it was a lifetime experience to work with Madhuri. It is great to see that even today the generation celebrates the dance and songs from 'Dil To Pagal Hai'."
