This 90s top actress got married at the peak of her career, moved abroad, took a break from films, even turned down Hollywood offers. She is…
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.

‘Shah Rukh Khan is very hardworking, rehearsed with me endlessly on my suggestion during Yes Boss shoot': Ashok Saraf
We all remember the memorable song 'Chaand Taare' from Aziz Mirza's 1997 romantic comedy Yes Boss. It's not only rendered with wide-eyed wonder by singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, but also performed by Shah Rukh Khan with so much infectious earnestness. Eagle-eyed fans noticed how the actor even shot in front of the building that became Mannat, his future home, on Bandra Bandstand in Mumbai just four years later. Ashok Saraf, who shared screen space with Shah Rukh in that film and in that song, has fond memories of working with the actor. They also shared screen space in Rakesh Roshan's 1995 blockbuster reincarnation saga Karan Arjun. But Saraf's enduring memory of Shah Rukh is from their Yes Boss days. 'There's no one as hardworking in the industry as him. He works very hard for his role. He's always alive to ideas on how he can make it better. He hasn't become a star just like that. He never leaves even a small thing behind that could potentially help his performance,' Saraf told Radio Nasha. Ashok Saraf recalled suggesting Shah Rukh Khan to try one of their scenes differently, and the star took to his suggestion earnestly. 'He said, 'Let's do a rehearsal.' He rehearsed so many times! He didn't let it go till the scene was perfect. Usually, actors aren't open to suggestions like these. They refuse to do the scene again. But he's not like that. He always tries and then sees if it works or not. He's a very good human too,' said Saraf. 'If someone asks me who has a lot of energy, I'd point them to Shah Rukh. He has so much energy that he never stops. He never gets tired. It's a huge deal, especially for today. Others should learn this from him. That's why he's reached where he is today. I'm really fond of him,' added Saraf. The actor also said that he doesn't get to meet either Shah Rukh or their Karan Arjun co-star Salman Khan these days. Also Read — Kajol was 'not sure' about doing Baazigar with Shah Rukh Khan, father convinced her to work with Abbas-Mustan: 'What is this film, what am I doing in it?' Ashok Saraf isn't the first actor to rave about Shah Rukh Khan's hard work on a film set. Karisma Kapoor, Shah Rukh's co-star from Yash Chopra's 1997 blockbuster romantic musical Dil To Pagal Hai, also called him 'hardworking' as compared to the 'fun' Salman Khan and the 'perfectionist' Aamir Khan, in an interview with Pinkvilla last year. Also, last year on Raj Shamani's podcast, Farhan Akhtar claimed Shah Rukh gets 'obsessed' with his projects. The actor-filmmaker has directed Shah Rukh in the successful Don franchise.
