Madhuri Dixit reveals her sons don’t watch her films, but Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 won them over."I find it very odd"

Madhuri Dixit has shared that her sons, Arin and Ryan, typically don’t watch her films, but Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has broken this pattern. In a recent interview, the actress admitted that she finds it strange to have her children watch her movies, but she was delighted that this particular film managed to capture their attention.

In a recent interview with News18 Showsha  Madhuri spoke about her kids. Her sons Arin and Ryan continue to live in the US pursuing their studies, while their parents have relocated to India.

“They went to a theatre in the US with all their friends. They thought the film was very funny and they really enjoyed watching it. They loved me as a ghost. So, I can say that for this film, I’ve their approval,” Madhuri said.

She added, “They’re curious. Once in a while, they watch some scenes and tell me, ‘When did you do this movie?’ They recently watched the video of K Sera Sera and told me that I was really cool in it. That’s how they sometimes watch some of my clips. Because how do I tell them that let’s sit and watch my movies? I find it very odd to make them do that and it’s not going to happen. I’ll let them discover all that with their friends".

In another interview with a wire, Madhuri spoke about the film, saying, “When I heard the script, I loved my role as it gave me something different to do. I’ve never played (a role) in this genre of filmmaking, like a horror comedy. I thought it would be something different for me. There was Vidya, Kartik (Aaryan) and the whole gang of fantastic actors, so I said, ‘I’ll do it’”.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the third instalment in the horror-comedy franchise that began with Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007. The original film, which starred Akshay Kumar as a ghostbuster, was a massive success. Kartik Aaryan took over the lead role of Rooh Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which also proved to be a hit when it was released in 2022. Vidya Balan, who played the iconic character Manjulika in the first film, returned to reprise her role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 after a 17-year gap.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also stars Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri. Released on November 1, the film had a box-office face-off with Ajay Devgn's Singham Again. Despite the competition, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 performed well, grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide.
