Veteran actress Madhuri Dixit recently made her OTT debut with Karan Johar and Sri Rao’s ‘The Fame Game’ and is already making the headlines globally and all over India. Touted as Dixit’s comeback to the entertainment industry, the series also marks her on-screen reunion with co-star Sanjay Kapoor after almost 27 years.
While the show has garnered a lot of love and attention, it was Canadian comedian and talk show host Lilly Singh’s Instagram post that won a lot of hearts. Lilly Singh posted a video of herself watching the series and eagerly waiting for Dixit to do the iconic ‘Chane ke khet mein’ step. Right when Madhuri delivers, Singh lets out a scream in support and thrill.
Sharing her love for ‘The Fame Game’, Singh penned a note, “Real footage of me watching #TheFameGame last night and losing my mind because @madhuridixitnene hit THE move.” She added, “Us Desis have limited shows to begin with, so truthfully I was nervous to see how this would be executed. And I was absolutely blown away. The outfits (and Madhuri’s jewelry ) are ON POINT and for once you can tell it’s not someone guessing what our culture should look like. The choreo and aesthetics are ON POINT. The writing is ON POINT. The cinematography is ON POINT. Tackling taboo subjects is ON. MF. POINT”.
“Congratulations and thank you to the creator @newyorksri for working hard on this show. The first concert I went to was Madhuri. The first movie I watched was Madhuri. And so this was really special for me. And it makes me so happy and proud that the larger world will know the magic of THE Madhuri Dixit thanks to your vision. Not to mention that for the first time, my mom called me to tell me about a show that SHE binged. She’s never had that experience before. Representation matters”, Singh wrote.
On a closing note, she added, “And real talk, if us South Asians want to see more shows like this or about our experience at all, we need to be loud with our support. That’s the only way. So watch. Tweet. Review. Do all the things!! It’s a W for the culture!! HURRRRRR!!!! ✨”.
