NRI Madhuri Dixit may sign films

Madhuri returns post-NRI marriage

Madhuri Dixit, who took a break from Bollywood after marrying
an NRI, is set to mesmerise her fans again but says she will sign
only those films that can be shot in the US where she is now based.
According to media reports, she has made it crystal clear that
in her second innings she is not going to be working full time
because her children are very small and need her.
There are many filmmakers who still want to cast the actress,
including veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. He has offered her a
role in his upcoming movie. Way back in 1997 they had teamed up
for the super hit film "Dil To Paagal Hai".
The actress didn't deny that Chopra had offered her a role but
said it was too early to talk about it because everything was
at the discussion level only.
Madhuri, who captivated the hearts of millions with performances
in "Tezaab" (1988), "Beta" and "Saajan",
moved to the US after marrying Sriram Nene, a doctor by profession.
Last month, after a long gap, she made an appearance at the 51st
Fair One Filmfare awards function and gave a superb dance performance,
choreographed by Saroj Khan.
She is holidaying in Mumbai these days with her two sons - three-year-old
Arin and one-year-old Ryan - and is also reading scripts and meeting
directors.
Now Madhuri Dixit is NRI, housewife,
true mother.....

Madhuri Dixit, the powerhouse actress that she was nominated
for "FILMFARE" award in '89 for "TEZAAB",
FILMFARE award in '90 for "PREM PRATIGYA" and FILMFARE
award in '91 for "DIL" for her acting prowess and performance
on the screen. She got the "BEST ACTRESS" award from
FILMFARE in '93 for the magnificient role she played in "BETA"
and the "BEST ACTRESS" award from FILMFARE in '95 for
the incomparable performance in "HUM AAPKE HAI KAUN".
Later in '96 she won the "BEST ACTRESS" award from SCREEN
VIDEOCON for her performance in "RAJA" and the "BEST
ACTRESS" award from ZEE LUX in '97 for the ultimate role
she performed in "DIL TO PAGAL HAI".
She has been living in Denver, U.S for last some years after
getting married to an NRI named Dr. Shriram Nene, who is a cardio-thoracic
surgeon by profession. Dixit's brother Ajit happened
to be a turning point in her life when he had arranged a meeting
between the two (Madhuri and Dr. Shriram) thus this meeting took
both of them to settle into life. Today she is a proud mother
as well. Her son Arin is an ultimate joy of life to
her. From midnight feeds to diaper changes and nappy washes, she
has been doing all like a true mother and loves to do it all.
She has two identities today
one, she is known as a top class
actress called Madhuri Dixit and the second, she is Mrs.
Nene due to her married status in society.
Everyday she wakes up at five in the morning since her husband
has to go for work. After her hubby leaves home, she goes back
in the lap of sleep again. Madhuri had carried the dance cassettes
with her for practice purpose when she left for U.S to join her
husband's home. Unfortunately for her, she could not manage with
it due to plenty of engagements at home, she had with her. Her
day's routines perfectly match to those of any housewife's in
general such as she looks after the house, takes care her son,
does all house work, cooks the food and waits for her husband's
return from work.
In order to get a driving license, like other general people,
she had to undergo a driving test in Florida. At the petrol pumps,
she fills up the gas by her own. While shopping, sometimes Indians
recognize her face and ask her, Are you Madhuri Dixit?
It soothes the actress. A feature on her last released classic
movie Devdas published by Time Magazine soared sky-high
making her more popular in the U.S. Dixit is much proud of the
compliment of becoming an icon and a role model for the girls
to emulate her style.
Coming back to filmdom, Madhuri simply says, How can you
call it a comeback whereas I have never said that I've quit acting.
It is in my bones instead and to keep myself busy, I will go for
doing one or two films a year. Now she returns to film world
with a movie directed by Somnath Sen and produced by Kavita Munjal
(Lemon tree Films). Discussions with Big B (Amitabh Bachchan)
are going on to sign him as Madhuri's co-star. Apart from this
pair, the film will also feature two more heroes and one more
heroine. Fardeen Khan and Karan Nath have been in makers' eyes
but not been confirmed yet. The shooting will take place in August
this year and the movie will be shot entirely in Mumbai. The film
will hit the theaters by the end of the year.
The cinegoers will be watching the magic of their beloved actress
for the first time after Devdas. The story is about
the comedy of errors and generational drama. T.V. Narayan has
written it. Screenplay has been penned jointly by T.V. Narayan
and Somnath Sen. Most of the top producers and directors like
to sign Madhuri in their films and that shows the huge demand
of the actress who still looks as boisterous as she was in the
early days of her career.
Biography
Madhuri Dixit was born on 15 May '67 in a middle class family
to "Shankar" and "Sneha Latha Dixit". She's
called Bubbly" at home and has got two sisies and one brother.
Madhuri Dixit made a humble beginning with the Rajshris. The film
was called Abodh and had the then Tollywood (Calcutta) superstar
Tapash Pal cast as her hero.
This beautiful, slim, svelte and charming young girl has captivated
the hearts of millions in INDIA with just one number - "Ek
Do Teen" in "TEJAAB", her second film that catapulted
her to the limelight all of a sudden makin' the movie a blockbuster
at the box office. Looks, Dance and The Skill! What else would
the BOLLYWOOD ask for.
In no time is Madhuri the top class acting genius and has become
NO 1 in the BOLLYWOOD proving her acting capabilities over and
over again in all her films that though a movie in which she acted
didn't do pretty well at the box office,
The film bombed and Madhuri's future in Bollywood did not seem
too bright. Filmmaker Subhash Ghai wasn't detracted though. He
always said that Madhuri had the potential to be the number one
and maintained at that.
Ghai did not give up on the Maharashtrian beauty and re-introduced
her in Ram Lakhan. The film succeeded in exposing Madhuri's beauty
and people dubbed her as the reincarnation of Madhubala.
The film that cut the ice and established Madhuri in the big
league was N Chandra's Tezaab. The film was a huge success and
the Saroj Khan-choreographed 'Ek do teen' entered the hallmark
of extremely popular dance numbers. The item with a liberal dose
of jhatkas not only propelled Madhuri towards stardom, it also
established Saroj Khan as a hot dance director.
After Tezaab, producers and directors waited for months to let
Madhuri's dates coincide with Saroj's. Meanwhile, Subhash Ghai
was still carving out a strategy to present Madhuri as the successor
to the then reigning queen Sridevi. Khalnayak fulfilled his dream.
Madhuri became the next super girl with 'Choli ke peeche'.
Madhuri still reins but marriage has made changes in her list
of priorities. She has cut down on her assignments and spends
more time with her medico husband based in Los Angeles.
