Madhuri Dixit talks about being constantly reprimanded by people to give up her dance as she has aged and is a mother of two.
Madhuri Dixit is one of the most talented actresses in Indian cinema. The diva is known for her breathtaking beauty, graceful dance moves and terrific acting mettle. She has worked in a number of movies, and her iconic songs are still a foot-tapping number for the audiophiles. In her personal life, Madhuri is married to eminent cardiologist, Shriram Nene and the duo is parents to their sons, Ryan and Arin.
In a recent interaction with Bollywood Bubble, Madhuri Dixit talks about frequently facing double standards in the society. She revealed being frequently told by many to give up on her love for dancing, since she is now a mother of her grown up sons. In her words:
“Aisa hota hai ki alag alag logon ki alag alag soch hoti hai, aur bohot se log aise kehte hai ki aap to maa ban gayi hai abhi aap kyu dance kar rahi hai. Aap baithiye, aap ghar dekhiye, aap aisa kijiye aap waisa kijiye. Lekin mujhe aise lagta hai ki yeh toh hum sab karte hi hai. You know, bachho ko dekhna ya ghar sambhalna, yeh sab karte hi hai. Kuch apne liye, apna bhi ek wajood, apna bhi ek personality hoti hai. Aap ko khud bhi aap ke apne bhi emotions bhi hai. Kuch aise cheezein hai jo aap chahte hai life mein. Kuch aap apna karna chahte ho.”

Moreover, she reacted how every time that there is an election, people are quick to speculate whether she would be a part of it. In her words:
“No, not at all, I have no interest in politics. Every time there is an election, these rumours are spread about me. But no, I’m not interested.”
Earlier, during a video on her husband, Shriram Nene’s YouTube channel, Madhuri Dixit opened up on several unheard anecdotes from her personal life.
