In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, many actors come and go, but only a few emerge as stars. They create a magic on screen that remains unmatched and untouched. One such similar tale is of an iconic actress from the 1990s. As soon as she ventured into the industry, she captivated the hearts of the audience with her charm, grace, and expressive eyes. Fondly known as the 'Dhak-Dhak Girl' of Bollywood, she quite literally raced the hearts of the audience with her appearance. Who is the 'Dhak Dhak Girl' of Bollywood?
Yes, the actress we are talking about is none other than Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri began her journey as an actor in the year 1984 with the film Abodh. After that, she appeared in many films; however, it was the film Tezaab that came in 1988 which rose her to fame. After that, Madhuri delivered a streak of back-to-back hits, including Dil, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Dil To Pagal Hai, Devdas, and Gulaab Gang. People were mesmerised by her impeccable acting skills, expressive eyes, radiant smile, and graceful moves. Why did Madhuri Dixit take a Break At The Peak of Her Career?
However, when Madhuri was at the peak of her career, she decided to tie the knot with Dr. Shriram Nene in 1999. Her fans and entire fraternity were stunned by this news. Soon after her wedding, she moved to the United States with her husband. This move made her lose a lot of opportunities. In fact, she declined a lot of offers and big projects, including a project in Hollywood. Madhuri was planning to extend her family, and she consciously chose not to work during the time she was pregnant, prioritizing her personal life over professional life. A move that only a few people can make that too during their peak. When was Madhuri Dixit's Comeback?
Madhuri embraced motherhood in 2003 and 2005, respectively, and welcomed her two sons, Arin and Ryan. Following that, she also took a long break, away from acting. It wasn't until 2011 that Madhuri came back to India and made a comeback in films. She made her comeback in Bollywood by featuring in the 'Ghagra' song with Ranbir Kapoor in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
Madhuri's bold move of taking a break from the industry during the peak of her career exudes that she knows how to balance her personal and professional life.
