I request my KBC team to please send me the clip where Madhuri ji is praising my dance.”

Dixit asked Bendre, “You were afraid of dancing, right? I heard you even had nightmares about it. How did you overcome that fear?” Bendre candidly replied, “I still haven’t gotten over that fear. I have actually stopped dancing.” To which Dixit responded, “But you danced so beautifully in ‘Hamma Hamma’!” Bendre humorously replied, “I don’t know how I managed that.”
