Lata Mangeshkar , who debuted in the 1940s as a singer , had reduced her playback activity in the 1990s , performing only selected songs . She recorded more than 10 songs for '' Hum Aapke Hain Koun . . ! '' Since the inception of the Best Playback Singer category at the Filmfare Awards in 1959 , Mangeshkar dominated the Female Playback Singer category until 1969 , when she chose to part the award with fellow singers , for encouraging them . Following this , " Didi Tera Devar Deewana " was praised on public demand with a Special award during the Filmware Awards ceremony . At the 42nd National Film Awards , Jay Borade won the Best Choreography award for all the songs featured in the film . The official citation of the award was : " '' For a graceful and aesthetically pleasing choreography , contemporary and yet traditional in its adherence to Indian cultural practices . '' " In 1995 , the Gramophone Co. of India , which owned the audio copyrights of the song , filed suit against Super Cassette Industries for bringing audio cassettes in market titled " Hum Aapke Hain Kaun " , which were packaged with the same cover sleeve of Gramophone Co . India 's publishings . The Delhi High Court ruled in favour of Gramophone Co . India , directing that Super Cassette Industries have not to use similar packing for their product . Furthermore , they highlighted that " the record is not from the original soundtrack , being only an alternative version . " Dixit draped a bright purple jaded satin saree with a backless khidki-blouse ; the saree was reported to have cost . A scene in the film which portrays her walking down the stairs with Khan remaining stunned gapping at her was pointed out as an " iconic scene " . Designed by Anna Singh , the saree was described as one of the " most talked about sarees " by both '' The Tribune '' and '' The Times of India '' . It became popular and was made available for purchase in various shops around the world , with it selling in large numbers . Dolls sporting this outfit were also marketed . It also set a trend for purple colour in wedding seasons . With increasing appeal , the subsequent film 's poster showed only Dixit in the purple saree whereas initially she was placed besides Khan . In 2012 , the romantic comedy film '' Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi '' also used the same saree in their film 's poster . Painter Maqbool Fida Hussain found his muse in Madhuri Dixit after watching the part of '' Hum Aapke Hai Koun ... ! '' where " Didi Tera Devar Deewana " is performed . He went on to watch the film 67 times . About Dixit 's dance in the song Hussain confessed , " That movement of the hips is out of this world . I have never seen such a dancer , and I have seen the best . Her words are transformed into body language . " He painted a series of paintings inspired from Dixit . '' Madhuri as Menaka with Vishwamitra '' , '' Madhuri as Radha with Nand Lala '' , '' Madhuri playing tennis at Wimbledon '' were some of those paintings . The Menaka painting was inspired from the famous painting of apsara Menaka as painted by Raja Ravi Verma . Another painting also showed Dixit with Meryl Streep leaning over a bridge in Madison County and Clint Eastwood on horseback below . The painting '' Nautanki '' showed Dixit with a backless blouse turning behind like the step in " Didi Tera Devar Deewana " , however this time sporting a nine yards Maharashtrian saree . Hussain formed a collaborative company , Madhuri-McBull Creations , which went on to produce the film '' Gaja Gamini '' in 2000 that had Dixit playing various roles like Shakuntala and Mona Lisa . He was also humorously being referred to as " Madhuri Fida Hussain " ( meaning : Madhuri obsessed Hussain )
