When Madhuri Dixit recalled the exact moment she first realised she was famous

Actress Madhuri Dixit enjoys a massive fan following across the country. During her appearance on the popular chat show, “Rendezvous With Simi Garewal”, the “Dhak Dhak” girl remembered the exact moment she realised she had become famous. She shared with host Simi Garewal that she was at the airport after the release of her movie “Tezaab” and some people recognised her as Mohini from the film, and even asked for her autograph.

“The first, I think, taste of success was when I landed at the airport. And I came out, and there were these little street urchins who clean your car, and suddenly one of them said, “Hey, that’s her, 1, 2, 3 Mohini, Mohini, you know,” and they came running, and I was like, “gosh, I got recognised”, you know. And I signed my autograph for the first time after people recognised me from a movie. And I was like, “okay”. And I signed my name, and a little kid said to the other, “look, I told you, it’s Mohini”,” she went on to add.

Madhuri made her acting debut with the film “Abodh” back in 1984. After this, she went on to deliver many major hits during her celebrated tenure, including “Dil,” “Beta,” “Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!,” “Dil To Pagal Hai,” “Ram Lakhan,” “Tridev,” “Thanedaar,” “Kishen Kanhaiya,” “Saajan,” “Khalnayak,” and “Raja,” to name just a few. Up next, Madhuri will be seen in the dark comedy, “Maa Behen”, co-starring Triptii Dimri, Dharna Durga, and Ravi Kishan. Made under the direction of Suresh Triveni and produced by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni under the banners of Abundantia Entertainment and Opening Image Films, “Maa Behen” is expected to get a digital release on Netflix on June 4, this year.

Meanwhile, During a fun interaction with IANS, Bollywood’s very own twinkle toes shared why she would be involved in fewer “kaands” than Triptii and Dharna, while hinting at the chaos, conflicts and strong personalities that define the film’s central trio.

When the trailer released, it mentioned “Ek maa”, “Do behen” and “ek bhayankar kaand” in the film, which is set in Bhopal.

But what if the film were set in Delhi? Then who would do the most “kaands,” considering the term is more commonly used colloquially in the National Capital?

Pat came the reply from Madhuri: “I think they (Triptii and Dharna) will have more kaands because they are from here. So I don’t know much about Delhi. So she (Madhuri’s character in the film) has less to do.” The film revolves around is Rekha, a mother who’s already juggling enough until life throws her the ultimate curveball, a dead body in her kitchen. With her two daughters, Jaya, the responsible one, and Sushma, the wild card, this trio must think fast, lie faster, and somehow keep their nosy neighbors from sniffing out the truth. Triptii chimed in and said that it would be all three characters, she added: “All three of us have equally kaandi. Because all three of us are very strong characters.”
