The song, which originally featured Rekha and Vidya, became the perfect choice for the night. Fans online were quick to declare that Rekha, with her unmatched energy and flair, once again proved why she’s still the queen of the stage.

The Divas’ Stunning Looks

Of course, the evening wasn’t just about the moves—it was also about the fashion. Rekha channeled vintage glam in an all-white outfit complete with a dramatic coat, turban-style headgear, oversized shades, and gold jewelry.

Vidya kept it understated yet classy in a textured grey gown. Madhuri brought a splash of color in red paired with a printed blue scarf, while Urmila sparkled in gold and black.

Shabana, the star of the night, dazzled in a maroon outfit with bright red borders and a statement brooch. Minimal accessories and a simple hairstyle sealed her elegant look. Together, the five powerhouses turned the dance floor into a scene fans won’t forget anytime soon.

Javed and Shabana’s Sweet Moment

If that wasn’t enough, Shabana and her husband Javed Akhtar added a softer touch to the celebrations. The couple swayed to Connie Francis’ classic Pretty Little Baby, laughing and twirling as guests cheered them on. Farah Khan captured the performance on Instagram, writing, “Now that’s how u turn 75!!”
