Waheeda Rehman admires Madhuri

Legendary actress Waheeda Rehman says Madhuri Dixit is the only actress who can do justice to her role in Dev Anand’s all time classic Guide, if it is remade today.

“The role requires an actress who should be a good dancer. Madhuri is both a good actress and a dancer,” she said in Mumbai at a function organised by Enlighten Film Society to felicitate her for her contributions to movies.

She recalled how Hiralal, who choreographed the dance sequences of Guide, worked hard on her and how she tried her best to come up to his expectations. The film was released in 1965.

“Shooting for Guide was one of my best experiences because the movie itself was close to reality,” she remarked. The veteran actress also said that her role in Guide was completely different from what she played in Mujhe Jeene Do (1963) and Kohra (1964), which were released before that.
