Karan Johar shares Ranveer's dance video, says, 'talent knows no gender'

Mumbai, Nov 19 (IANS) On International Men’s Day, Karan Johar shared a video of Ranveer Singh dancing to the song “Dola Re Dola”, emphasizing that talent has no gender.

On Tuesday, the filmmaker took to Instagram to post a video of Ranveer’s electrifying performance alongside a heartfelt note. In his message, Karan dedicated the day to men who champion feminism and advocate for a more equitable, compassionate society for women and humanity as a whole.

Sharing the video, Karan wrote in the caption, “Hunar ka koi gender nahi hota. Today is dedicated to the real MVPs of our society—the men. But not just any (and definitely not EVERY) man…today is for the men who champion feminism. The ones who uplift humanity by advocating equity, equality, and a more compassionate society for women and for everyone who dares to be their true self.”

He continued, “So that could be on the stage dancing your heart out to Dola Re Dola, channeling your inner Madhuri & Aishwarya, or on the field expressing your emotions and gratitude after hitting the ball out of the park. It could be anything. It could be everything. It could be the very step that makes our society a place where many will thrive to become the next MVPs. So do it. And don’t hold back!!”

The iconic dance scene is from Karan Johar’s family drama “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani," where Ranveer performs on Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit’s blockbuster number “Dola Re Dola” alongside his on-screen father-in-law, played by Tota Roy Chaudhary.

Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant revealed that Ranveer was anxious before filming the sequence, saying, “I remember tying the ghungroo for Ranveer and giving him a bit of a crash course.”

The scene went on to become one of the most talked-about moments in the film.
