When Dr Nene refused to watch Madhuru Dixit’s films

Speaking on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, when Madhuri was asked when Nene realised how big a star she was, she responded, “I think at our wedding reception. He was like, ‘Oh my God, there are so many people,’ and I told him that the queue doesn’t end there, it ends all the way there. He didn’t know how big a star I was. He just knew that she is a star in India. He had never experienced the full impact of that.”

Even after knowing about Madhuri’s popularity, Nene wasn’t interested in watching her films. Speaking about the same, she said, “Me and his mom tried to show him one of my films and my song, and he was like, ‘Can’t we do something else? Let’s go out and do something.’ He has not watched a lot of Bollywood films. He comes from a different sensibility, but he loved Devdas.”

Madhuri Dixit’s comeback

Madhuri Dixit moved to the US in 1999 after her marriage. She resided in Denver, Colorado, for over a decade and focused on her family life and raising her two sons. She tried making a comeback in films with 2007’s Aaja Nachle, but the film failed at the box office. She moved back to India with her husband in 2011. Her performance in 2014’s Dedh Ishqiya marked the beginning of her second innings in Hindi cinema. She was widely praised for her performance, and since then she has starred in projects like Kalank, Gulaab Gang, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. She is gearing up for the release of her next film Ma Behen, which also stars Triptii Dimri in a lead role.
