Today on 15 May, the evergreen actress Madhuri Dixit, who completed the age of 53, would have been working in small films if she could not find work in the abandoned films of this big heroine…
Last year, Karan Johar’s big-budget film may not have run at the box office, but it was definitely in the discussion for many reasons. The first reason was that Karan Johar signed his beloved heroine Sridevi for an important role with Sanjay Dutt. But just before the shooting of the film, Sridevi died accidentally. Karan Johar fell in love with who would do this role now. Before he could contact anyone, he himself got a call from Dhakdhak girl Madhuri Dixit. When Madhuri said that can I give the role of Sridevi? Karan just got the desired wish.
Why did Madhuri say this,
Madhuri believes that Sridevi has many favors on her. The days when Madhuri stepped into the film industry, Sridevi was the top heroine. Madhuri worked in one or two films as a heroine before ‘Tezaab’. The big producer-director would dismiss them as Marathi Mulgi. Someone had a problem with Madhuri’s face, while some had a way of speaking.
Madhuri was slowly trying to get a foothold in the industry. At the same time, his favorite star Anil Kapoor’s film ‘Son’ was launched. There was news that Sridevi is working in it. Sridevi and Anil Kapoor had given many hits. Due to the problem of dates at the last moment, Sridevi had to leave this film. Madhuri got this film from Tapak. Madhuri had a sensuous song in this film ‘Dhakadhak karne lage …’ This song made Madhuri suddenly famous.
After the success of ‘Beta’, Madhuri gave consecutive hits. In the early nineties, Madhuri was considered as the number one heroine. But at the same time, his films began to flop continuously. There was also a time when film pundits made a prediction of the end of Madhuri’s career. Yash Chopra was once again going to try his hand at directing after making moonlight and moments. With his production, his son Aditya Chopra’s film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ was a super duper hit. For the new film ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, he wanted to cast a senior actress with Shah Rukh Khan. He first reached Sridevi for this role. Sridevi also liked the role. But at the last moment he refused to work in the film.
Earlier, Yash Chopra had not worked with Madhuri Dixit. They met Madhuri and she agreed to do this role. Madhuri also received the title of Best Actress for this role. That year at the Filmfare Awards ceremony, Madhuri said in front of everyone, I am not finished yet. This film is a slap on those who write me off.
Madhuri still believes that Sridevi is indirectly involved in strengthening her career. If she could have done both these films, the success that she has touched would never have touched.
