Madhuri Dixit's husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, finds Rani Mukerji's iconic snakebite scene 'pure cinema,' but ...
's cinematic journey in
Bollywood
began with the 1996 drama
Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat
, a film that, upon its release, was widely criticized for its weak storyline and overly melodramatic execution. Though once dismissed by critics, the movie has recently resurfaced in popular culture—not as a revered classic, but as a treasure trove for internet memes.
One scene in particular, where Rani's character tries to rescue her husband from a deadly snakebite by sucking out the venom, has suddenly gone viral. This moment, theatrical and intense, caught the attention of none other than
Dr. Shriram Nene
, a well-respected cardiovascular surgeon and the husband of legendary actress Madhuri Dixit.
Dr. Nene addressed the scene in a recent YouTube video, where he analyzed trending medical-themed memes. His video aimed to separate medical truths from fiction, providing viewers with clarity on which practices are grounded in real science and which belong solely in the realm of fantasy. During this breakdown, the infamous snakebite sequence from Rani's debut film made its unexpected appearance.

Reacting to the moment with an amused eye-roll, Dr. Nene remarked, 'I'm unfamiliar with the scene's full background, but it seems to be based on the outdated notion that snake venom can simply be extracted by mouth. That's more folklore than fact.' He went on to explain that once venom enters the bloodstream, attempting to suck it out is not only ineffective but also potentially harmful. 'The venom spreads quickly, and the real priority should be applying a tight band (tourniquet) above the bite site and seeking immediate medical treatment, particularly antivenom,' he advised.
Drawing on his own experiences, Dr. Nene shared a story from his time in rural India, where snakebites are common and often mishandled due to lack of awareness. Reflecting on the overly dramatic rescue in Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat, he clarified, 'Scenes like this make for good cinema, but they don't reflect medical reality. I've seen similar portrayals in Hollywood and Bollywood alike, and they tend to perpetuate dangerous myths.'
The film itself tells the story of a young woman, played by Rani, who survives sexual assault and is then compelled to marry her attacker. As the narrative progresses, the two characters unexpectedly develop a romantic bond, culminating in a crucial moment where Rani attempts to save his life after a snakebite.
Though fictional and fantastical, the scene has now become a conversation starter—one that blends Bollywood drama with real-world medical awareness.

Kylie Kelce opens up about why her four daughters have never been in the crowd for Travis Kelce's games
Kylie Kelce opens up about why her four daughters have never been in the crowd for Travis Kelce's games (Image via Getty) Kylie Kelce, wife of retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, has revealed the very practical reason her daughters have never watched their uncle, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce , play in person. Speaking to PEOPLE on August 11, 2025, Kylie Kelce explained that the Kelce kids, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley are big supporters of Uncle Trav but usually do it from home. While the family often travels to Kansas City, the girls' schedule comes first. For Kylie, being a mom to four young children means late-night football games just aren't realistic right now, no matter how much they love the sport. Kylie Kelce explains why her daughters haven't attended Travis Kelce's games Kylie Kelce told PEOPLE that her daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and baby Finnley, have not been able to attend any of Travis's NFL games so far. Most of the chances they had were for Monday Night Football, which usually starts around 8:00 p.m. She explained that keeping small children out that late 'is not conducive to a 5, 4, and 2-year-old.' Even last year, she recalled, there were 'two different Monday Night Football opportunities,' but she chose to keep the girls' bedtime routine. Kylie Kelce is hoping that this season they can make it to 1:00 p.m. Sunday game, which would be much easier for the family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Mixed Pink Salt With This - Now She Can't Stop Losing Weight Break The Weight Learn More Undo Also Read: Kylie Kelce Opens Up On How She Overcame Fear To Create A Podcast That Beat Joe Rogan In The Charts Kylie Kelce on cheering for Travis Kelce and new Dove project Even if they can't be in the stadium, Kylie Kelce said the whole family is always cheering for Travis Kelce, who is entering his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
