Madhuri Dixit: “Once I got married, I began making decisions by myself”
Actress Madhuri Dixit made her OTT debut last week with Netflix’s The Fame Game. The show stars her as a Bollywood superstar, something Madhuri knows very well, in real life too. Madhuri has worked in over 80 movies in a career spanning 38 years. Because of her star status in India, true independence was difficult to attain for her.
Talking to Bazaar, she said, “I grew up in a very protected environment… My parents used to always accompany me, even when I was working. But once I got married, I began making decisions by myself. I learnt a lot about life because living in the US. When I was in India, there would always be around 20 people fussing over me at all times, but there I was very independent.”
“I had to do things on my own, bring up my kids—of course, my mom and mom-in-law would come and help me out whenever I needed. But as you grow older, you mature and learn a lot, and grow as a person with your experiences. Today, I use those experiences when I’m essaying a role,” she added.
