An Instagram reel shared by Janhvi Kapoor has reignited discussions about the 1992 Filmfare Best Actress award, which Madhuri Dixit won for her role in Beta. The reel controversially suggests Dixit's win was influenced by her "vulgar dance steps" in the song "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga", overshadowing Sridevi's critically acclaimed double role in Khuda Gawah.

Both films were major commercial successes in 1992, with Beta emerging as the year's biggest grosser and Khuda Gawah ranking third. Beta was directed by Indra Kumar and starred Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, and Aruna Irani, while Khuda Gawah was helmed by Mukul S Anand and featured Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi, Nagarjuna, Shilpa Shirodkar, and Danny Denzongpa.

The reel has sparked debate about the criteria for Filmfare awards, with some viewers questioning whether Dixit's dance performance unfairly influenced the jury, despite Sridevi's landmark acting in a challenging double role. This controversy highlights ongoing discussions about recognition and merit in Bollywood award culture.

"An Instagram reel is going viral on social media which claims that won the Best Actress Filmfare award for her performance in Beta (1992) due to her vulgar dance steps in ‘Dhak Dhak Karne Laga’ song, while Sridevi was snubbed despite her landmark performance in a double role in Khuda Gawah (1992)."
"Both the films released in 1992 and were amongst the biggest hits of the year. While Beta topped the charts as the year’s biggest grosser, Khuda Gawah came in at the third spot."
"Directed by Indra Kumar, Beta starred Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Aruna Irani in the lead roles. As for Khuda Gawah, the film was helmed by Mukul S Anand and starred Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi, Nagarjuna, Shilpa Shirodkar and Danny Denzongpa."
