Divya Delhi: Madhuri Dixit Nene won national fame in over 70 Hindi films and affected Indian popular culture. Dixit, known for her beauty, dancing, and characters, led star vehicles in a male-dominated industry. I met her in a bungalow while filming Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam with Salman Khan. “I wanted to meet you to convey my thoughts. You said harsh things about my song Choli Ke Peechhe Kya Hai," she sneered. It was odd that she wanted to talk to me after her suggestive song shocked the nation. We chatted after the ice broke (though it never melted). Later, Salman spotted me with Madhuri, froze, and left. When I was about to do the same, I was horrified to see Salman bolt the makeup room door from outside. She laughed in shame and yelled for rescue. Left. Years later, I encountered Madhuri on my great friend Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas sets. She was polite but unfriendly.Hits came from her. Anyone seen her most successful films' portrayals? Except for Bhansali's Devdas and Prakash Jha's Mrityudand, all her filmmakers hid her lovely face with filth. But the paycheque zeroes were perfect.
