More About Mrs. Dixit
THE story, one of the great3est success stories, seems to have suddenly taken a sweet little twist. It seem slike only yesterday when Madhuri was Madhuri Dixit, the reiging diva of Hindi cinema. And marriage and that rich magalsutra and all the changes that come with marriage seemed to be a distant dream. The people were asking how long she would wait to tie the knot. She didn't give them a chance to keep asking questions. She finished playing the best part of her innings. She then cut down on her assignments and people were asking questions again. Was she preparing to say farewell to films? Was she about to take that one big and bold step and contemplating marriage? Some in their anxiety and overwhelming excitement even said she had secretly married a doctor in America and the wilder and naughty ones even said she had recently married Rakesh Nath (also known as Rikku) for the last eight years. The ever so sensible Madhuri wanted to put an end to all these speculations, questions and creating of new stories. It took her just four trips to America to find the ultimate solution. her brother, Ajit, introduced her to his friend, Dr Sriram Nene. The two took liking for each other, started, knowing each other. Soon the entire Dixit and Nene family knew what was happening. They also knew whatever was happening was happening for the good. Madhuri made her third trip to America within a matter of months and Ram (that's what she calls him) and Madhuri were engaged and the fourth trip led to the marriage that rocked the industry and the world of her admirers. Madhuri still can't understand why there was such a hoo hua about her marriage. "It was just one simple girl marrying another simple man. Believe me, never for a moment did I think that I was a big star from Mumbai who was getting married to a doctor who no one from the world I cam from knew. It was just the kind of marriage I wanted and Ram was just the kind of man I wanted as my life partner, the man I was waiting for. We got married in the typical Maharashtrian style. The only difference was that we were in America and not Mumbai. It didn't make a a very big difference to me because my entire family was with me, Rikkuji was the only guest from Mumbai. It was ust like being at home," Madhuri whose glow has grown doubly after her marriage, says.
It's all over now. One more chapter has just started in the life of Mrs. Madhuri Nene. The Dr Nene who could win the woman who so many other distinguished men and trillionaires and even the man in the streets wanted to marry landed in Mumbai on December 15. They had a grand reception in Mumbai and The Club at Andehri on December 18.
Madhuri will then wait for the biggest film of her career, Boney Kapoor's Pukar to be released. The film will have a very big say in her career and her future. She has already made it clear that she will do only some selective films, even though she will have to travel between Los Angeles where she'll settle down and Mumbai. Now is the time for some select writers to find some select subjects for this actress who had the potential to come up with some great performances. She can play some of the most challenging roles and that is what I have been waiting for as an admirer right from the day I first saw her. the Mumbai industry is normally very cruel to the girls who got married. I hope they make an exception in Madhuri's exceptional case whose best has still to come even after eighteen long eyars and a super-successful career. Let's wait and watch what happens to Mrs Nene who brought light into the lives of millions all over the world. She deserves all the light, the light which will make her brilliance shine out.
