MUMBAI: Madhuri Dixit has appeared in over 70 Bollywood films. Noted for her beauty, dancing skills, and strong characters, her early career was shaped up mostly by romantic and family dramas before she expanded her repertoire. She ruled the 90s. Today, we bring you a throwback to the time when Madhuri opened up doing intimate scenes on screen.
Madhuri played an important role in Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ named Begum Para and fans loved her character in the same. The film also starred Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles.
In a conversation, Madhuri said, “I’m really excited about both my co-stars. They were brilliant in Ishqiya. I loved that film also because of Abhishek. It didn’t seem like a debut film. And I don’t have enough words to praise Vidya. Her performance took the film to another level.”
Talking about doing bold scenes, the actress said, “I don’t think marriage or motherhood has anything to do with an actor’s work. My kids (Arin and Rayan) and husband (Dr Sriram Nene) know that I’m an artiste. I can’t shy away from anything that a script demands, even if it’s physical intimacy.”
Elaborating further, Madhuri Dixit said, “If I’m convinced that it’s essential to the script, and I know it will be shot aesthetically, I won’t say no to intimate scenes. Vidya’s scenes were shot so beautifully in Ishqiya. If Dedh Ishqiya absolutely needs something of that sort, I’m game.”
Meanwhile, the actress last featured in The Fame Game, a family thriller drama streaming television series on Netflix created by Sri Rao and directed by Bejoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli. Produced by Karan Johar and Somen Mishra under the banner Dharmatic Entertainment, the series starred Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Suhasini Mulay, Lakshvir Saran and Muskkaan Jaferi in the lead roles.
