May 15 was Madhuri Dixit's birthday. As the queen turns 40, her career remains posed for a second take-off with her Yash Raj Films production Aaja Nachch Le set for release later this year. On her birthday, we ask some of her co-stars and film associates what it was like working with the beautiful superstar.
Renuka Shahane She is a fabulous actor to work with! She is very professional and at the same time she is very down to earth. She never angers easily. Madhuri is very intelligent and a great person.
In the years gone by I do not think she has changed. I worked with here in 1993 and I met her only a few days back on the set of Aaja Nach Le. The only change I have noticed is that, as a mother, she talks a lot about her kids now. In fact both of us were discussing our kids!
We were so friendly during Hum Apke Hai Kaun (HAHK) that though I am not in touch with her, I met her on her on the set because I was shooting near by at Madh Island.
Madhuri is a good mimic artist and we used to have a gala time at the end of each day's shooting for HAHK.
She is very dedicated. Once she had to do that long dance sequence which contained many steps. She did it once and we told her that it was very beautiful but she still asked them to shoot it again. Then when we saw the second take she had performed even more beautifully than before. This is something that every actor should learn from. Even at this stage she tries to improve herself."
I wish her a balanced life of acting and of motherhood. I hope she gets what she dreams of and has a satisfying career."
