Shabana Azmi’s 75th birthday turned into an unforgettable celebration as Bollywood’s biggest divas took the stage together for a spectacular dance. Shabana, Vidya Balan, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit and Urmila Matondkar grooved to Kaisi Paheli Zindgani from Parineeta, the iconic track originally featuring Vidya and Rekha.
The atmosphere was electric as Rekha led the performance with her signature grace, taking center stage while the others followed her lead. Fans couldn’t stop swooning over Rekha’s unmatched energy and charm, proving yet again why she remains an eternal queen of style and performance.
The Divas’ Stunning Looks The evening was as much about fashion as it was about dance. Rekha exuded vintage glamour in a chic all-white look, complete with
a statement coat, turban-style headgear, oversized sunglasses, and bold gold jewelry. Vidya Balan looked elegant in a full-length grey gown with textured detailing, perfectly complementing her effortless style.
Madhuri Dixit brought vibrant charm in a striking red outfit layered with a printed blue scarf, while Urmila Matondkar shimmered in a gold and black ensemble, radiating festive energy. Shabana, the star of the night, dazzled in a maroon outfit with bright red borders and a statement brooch, pairing it with minimal accessories and a simple hairstyle.
Together, the powerhouse performers set the dance floor on fire, creating a moment that had both celebrities and fans applauding in unison.
