Madhuri Dixit made a
humble beginning with the Rajshris in a much forgotten film Abodh. It
was director Subhash Ghai who paved the way for her super star status
in Bollywood. Madhuri whose ambition was to become a Micro
- Biologist instead, became a number one star in the tinsel world and
has remained so justifying Ghai's predictions for her.
Ghai gave Madhuri 'Uttar Dakshin',
and then a proper launch in `Ram Lakhan' (1988). But it was N. Chandra's
'Tezaab' which gave her the big break. Her dance number 'Ek do teen' choreographed
by Saroj Khan in the film became popular and established both Madhuri
and Saroj Khan in the field. Since then the duo has given lot of popular
dance numbers among which 'Choli ke peeche' in Khalnayak was extremely
so. Some of her famous films are 'Dil, Hum Aapke hain koun, Dil To Pagal
Hai, Pukar etc.
This Maharashtrian beauty famous
for her acting skill and her million dollar smile got married to Doctor
Sri Ram Nene on October 17, 1999. Now she has become more selective
in choosing films and spends more time with her husband based in Los Angeles.
Her latest film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' released world wide
has won raving reviews and acclaim.
