Madhuri Dixit received the Padma Shri for her contribution to Indian cinema and the ex- Bollywood diva says the credit is the result of her hard work and integrity.
“It’s always a wonderful feeling to have your work honored. One has worked so hard for so many years. The Padma Shri is a culmination of all my hard work and honesty. I think I’m being honored for doing my work sincerely,” said the delightful Madhuri .
On the question whether she felt was it a right time to quit films when she was in the peak, Madhuri reacted: “What’s the right time? If you mean the right time to have kids then let me remind you a 63-year-old woman had twins. Nothing is impossible at any age any more.
As for me, I had always said if I meet the right person I wouldn’t think twice about giving up my career. And that’s exactly what I did. I never planned anything in life.”
Major hits
She ruled the Hindi film industry in 1980s and 90s and gave hits like Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, Beta, Dil, Saajan, Khalnayak, Dil To Pagal Hai and Devdas. Madhuri says the fact that back home people still want to see her on screen makes her happy.
“It is wonderful to know that people still think about me in my home country, although I don’t live here any more. That they still want me back, it makes me feel very wanted.”
Earlier Madhuri was in the country, it was for the release of her riposte film Aaja Nachle. The film didn’t work, but she says its in wasn’t a propel to her.
“I did my part genuinely. And I did everything I could. So did the whole team. I’ve worked in this field long enough to know you win some, you lose some. Sometimes you feel everything is going right and the end product still falls apart. It’s okay.”
Shri.”
After the Padma Shri, Madhuri is staying back in Mumbai to grab hold of up with family friends and a whole lot of personal work.
“I do have a life beyond movies,” she laughed.
To conclude, is Madhuri Dixit’s sensation undiminished by time, marriage, motherhood and the disastrous riposte vehicle?
“I never thought of what you call an sensation. For me this life as a wife and mother was what I dreamt of almost all my life.”
