23 May 2007 (Sawf News) - Three months to make Aaja Nachle with Yashraj Films and Madhuri Dixit, 40, has got a taste of the good old gossip mill in Bollywood.
As she came close to winding up her comeback film Aaja Nachle, the media was abuzz with gossip that she would stay on in India and reinvent her career because of ‘cracks’ in her eight-year-old marriage to Dr. Sriram Nene in Denver, CO, USA.
Monday (21 May 2007), all these rumors were proved just feathers-in-the-wind without any substance. After completing the last few shoots of her film Madhuri, like a true Marathi girl, gave an interview to all local Marathi papers in which she gave her reasons for coming to Bollywood.
“The offer from Yashraj Films was good,” she said in her parting remarks, "In the past three months, so many offers have come my way but I will come back only if Aaja Nachle becomes a hit. I will come back once to do any patchwork if needed as the film goes into post-production work. I came during the holidays of my two sons. The elder, four-year-old Arin is missing home already. I have to catch up on his homework before school reopens. I have to be back to my routine in Denver. I realize that eight years have passed since I went off to the US. Things have changed in the film industry. Technology is far superior now and I had to get used to new inventions and methods. I worked from 7 am to 8 pm every day, shooting and rehearsing my dance sequences. But I have done well with the support of my family – particularly my husband who was very encouraging. I know age is catching up. In some distant future, I am willing to do roles of elder women – mother may be – provided they are central to the theme of the film.
After all, no less an actor than Amitabh Bachchan has shown the way for all of us!"
Madhuri boarded a flight for Denver with her boys Arin, 4, and Ryan, 2 last Monday and was excited about her reunion with Dr. Nene who would meet her at the airport!
