A delightful new video featuring the stars of Laapataa Ladies has taken the internet by storm. Actors Sparsh Srivastava and Pratibha Ranta recreated the viral ‘Gajagamini’ walk from Heeramandi, originally performed by Aditi Rao Hydari. The clip, shared by Netflix India on Instagram, showcases the duo walking through the Netflix office corridor, each holding a sunflower, mimicking the iconic scene from Heeramandi.
Aditi Rao Hydari’s Approval
The video quickly caught the attention of Aditi Rao Hydari herself, who played Bibbojaan in Heeramandi. Aditi reacted to the video with enthusiasm, commenting, “Bibbojaan certified! Nailed it guys (red heart and smiley face emoticons).” Fans also expressed their joy, with one commenting, “The collab of shows we didn’t know we needed!” Another fan wrote, “Sparsh did it better!” highlighting the fun and lighthearted spirit of the recreation.
Behind the Iconic Walk
Last month, in an interview with Zoom TV, Aditi revealed the meticulous planning behind the viral shot. She explained how director Sanjay Leela Bhansali conceptualized the scene down to the smallest details, ensuring the dupatta fell on a specific beat and the head turn synchronized perfectly with the sound of the ghungroo. This attention to detail contributed to the scene’s memorability and viral success.
