Madhuri Dixit Profile

Madhuri Dixit – ‘Madhubala of the nineties’ and ‘ Maryln Monroe of Bollywood’, is one of the most famous and successful Bollywood actresses till date. Madhuri Dixit was born in a Maharashtrian family in Mumbai, on May 15th 1967 as ‘Madhuri Shankar Dixit’.

Madhuri Dixit is one of the four children of Shankar Dixit and Snehlata Dixit, of a Marathi Chitpavan Brahmin family. After completing her graduation, Madhuri attended Parle College and completed her Bachelors Degree in Microbiology being a certified micro- biologist; Madhuri is also trained in Kathak.

Madhuri Dixit is one of those actors who have struggled in their life to reach the no 1 slot in the Indian film industry. She dominated Bollywood, in the 1990s, as a leading actress.
And an accomplished dancer. In recognition of her great talent, she was awarded with various awards.

Though she wanted to be a micro-biologist, life took a different turn and she ended up as one of the most successful actresses in Bollywood.

Madhuri Dixit started her career in 1984, with the film ’Abodh’, offered to her by Rajshri Productions, the film failed to create any ripples at the box office and was forgotten soon. Thereafter, she was seen in a number of unnoticeable films, like Awara Baap and Swati. It was only in 1986 that she was discovered by Subhash Ghai, who gave her a small dance sequence in ‘Karma’. Though the dance sequence was edited out in the final cut, Ghai promised to give Madhuri better roles in the future

He also kept a condition, that Madhuri will stop doing tiny roles in insignificant films. She agreed and Ghai ended up giving Madhuri, first, ‘Uttar Dakshin’, and then, a proper launch in ‘Ram Lakhan’ (1988). However, before Ram Lakhan could make it to the box office, Madhuri’s ‘Tezaab’ hit the theaters. Her dance sequence in the film, ‘Ek, do, teen’ took the nation by storm and established Madhuri in the top league of actresses. ‘Tezaab’ went on to complete a golden jubilee and was one of the biggest hits of the year.

Madhuri Dixit career’s turning point was the role of Nisha in Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Aapke Hain Kaun in 1994 after which Madhuri Dixit became a household name. She moved on to give great performances like in Mrityudand which got her a lot of critical acclaim and various awards at international film festivals.

Madhuri Dixit starred in a number of films the same year, but none of them were successful. Just when critics were planning to write her off, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ (1997) happened. The film was not only a blockbuster, but also got her Filmfare Award for ‘Best Actress’. The same year, she was also seen in Prakash Jha’s ‘Mrityudand’, a film that established her as a serious actor and won her Best Actress awards at the Star Screen Awards & Sansui Awards.

The next major film for Madhuri Dixit came in 2000, Pukar, which also bagged her IIFA Best Actress Award. The same year, she was seen in Gaja Gamini (2000), made by M.F. Hussain, who considers Madhuri as his muse and the embodiment of womanhood. The film saw her representing the various forms and manifestations of womanhood. Though it was not a commercial success, the film did get her critical acclaim. The year 2002 saw Madhuri starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas’.

Madhuri Dixit married Dr Sriram Madhav Nene, an Indian doctor who resides in USA, in the year 1999. Sriram is an UCLA-trained cardiovascular surgeon who practices in Denver and belongs to a Marathi Konkanastha Brahmin family. The couple has two sons Arin (born March 2003) and Ryan (born March 2005). Presently, Madhuri resides in Denver (Colorado, USA), along with her husband and kids.

The actress has reduced her work after marriage and was seen after a gap of four years in Sanjay leela Bhansali’s Devdas in 2002. She worked in another movie after a span of 5 years – Aaja Nachle – but the film failed to response at the box office.
