I needed to rehearse a zillion times to get the moves right

Remember the vigorous dance moves of Jeetendra-Sridevi in songs like Taki Re Taki, Nainon Mein Sapna and Ek Aankh Maroo.

In a contemporary interview, Jeetendra told CS, "Sri was a natural dancer, while I needed to rehearse a zillion times to get the moves right. It was slightly embarrassing as Sri used to get her steps right in one take.

Any other star would have made his co-actor rehearse with an assistant, but Sri never complained and practised with me till I got it right.

Such was her sense of commitment, humility and discipline." It's no wonder that those songs are classics till date!
