'I Can Never Be Madhuri And She Can Never Be Me': Can You Guess Which Star Said This?
The two stars shared screen space in Swati (1986). The romantic drama, directed by Kranthi Kumar, featured Meenakshi Seshadri in the lead as Swati, with Madhuri Dixit playing her stepsister. The film showcased both actresses' talents and is considered a significant work in their respective careers. (Image: IMDb)
Damini (1993) was a groundbreaking film, and perhaps Meenakshi's career best too. Reportedly, director Rajkumar Santoshi fell in love with her, and ended up proposing marriage to her. However, the actor turned down Santoshi's offer, following which things turned sour between the two. Allegedly, the director wanted to replace Meenakshi mid-way; Madhuri was reportedly approached (among other actresses). (Image: IMDb)
In a 2024 interview with Bombay Times, Meenakshi reiterated: "I can never be Madhuri and she can never be me." She dismissed the notion of rivalry, rather stating that she and Madhuri are unique and cannot be compared. (Image: Instagram)
At the peak of her career, Meenakshi quit Bollywood and shifted to the US after her marriage to investment banker Harish Mysore. Madhuri, on the other hand, continued her reign as one of the most successful actresses in the Hindi film industry. (Image: Instagram)
