Disha Patani is no stranger to making headlines with her sultry, statement-making sartorial choices, and her latest appearance at the unveiling of the 2nd edition of MAMI Select was no exception. This time, the Bollywood glam girl reached back into the archives of Indian cinema to pay homage to one of the most iconic looks ever seen on screen — Madhuri Dixit’s unforgettable “Dhak Dhak Karne Laga” ensemble.
Disha’s reimagined version of the legendary look was vibrant, modern, and unmistakably bold. Dressed in a sparkly orange saree that shimmered with every step, the actor turned heads with her interpretation of the sensuous drape. The saree was paired with a full-sleeved embroidered blouse that featured a plunging sweetheart neckline — a contemporary twist on the original halter conical blouse worn by Madhuri in Beta.
The low-slung drape of the saree was a clear nod to the 90s silhouette, strategically highlighting Disha’s toned midriff and curves. Her makeup was kept dewy and radiant, letting the outfit do most of the talking. She accessorised minimally, choosing only a pair of earrings, and let her voluminous hair cascade freely down her back, adding to the overall allure of the look.
While some fashion watchers were quick to draw comparisons between the original and the reimagined, Disha’s version stood out for the way it blended nostalgia with her signature modern aesthetic. The fiery hue, the shimmer, and the dramatic silhouette all came together to create a look that was glamorous, confident, and unapologetically bold.
Recreating iconic Bollywood moments comes with its own set of challenges, but Disha made a compelling case for how classic styles can be revived with a contemporary flair. Whether it was a perfect match or an inspired twist, her look certainly got everyone talking — and that, after all, is the true mark of a fashion moment.
