Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit once disguised herself in a burqa to watch her hit film Tezaab in a single-screen theatre in Mumbai. She sought to experience the audience's reaction to her popular song 'Ek Do Teen'. Dixit took her seat in the front row at Mumbai's Chandan Cinema, but her disguise proved ineffective. As the song began, excited audience members began throwing coins towards the screen, some of which landed on Dixit and her companions.
Eventually, they decided to leave the theatre. Despite her disguise, Dixit was recognized in the lobby, with people shouting that she had arrived. Tezaab, released on November 11, 1988, was directed by N Chandra and starred Dixit opposite Anil Kapoor. The film, featuring an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Chunky Panday, Kiran Kumar, and Suresh Oberoi, became the highest-grossing Hindi release of 1988.
Its success, particularly the popularity of 'Ek Do Teen', marked a significant turning point in Dixit's career, establishing her as one of Bollywood's leading stars.
