Agencies Madhuri Dixit's Life-Altering Move: From Stardom to Personal Fulfillment While she never failed to hit the bull's eye when it came to mesmerising the audience with her impeccable dancing and acting skills, 'Dhak Dhak Girl' Madhuri Dixit was at her wits' end when she tried to cook. In an old interview with Simi Garewal, the 'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun' star admitted that although she was determined to be a competent chef for her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, after she shifted to the US post-marriage, she still whipped up some culinary disasters. She revealed how she had carried a cookbook with her to America to prevent such mishaps, but they still occurred. She revealed she was not aware that the prawns sold in the US were 'pre-made,' so she overcooked them. 'It's an Indian book that I carried with me, and I made some masala prawns for him,' she said and added, 'I kept cooking them. They were so chewy, like rubber, and he ate them. He couldn't swallow them.'She also shared a sneak peek at her domestic life with the cardiothoracic surgeon. She revealed she used to get up at 5:30 am in the morning to prepare breakfast for him. After he left, she took a nap. On October 17, 1999, Madhuri Dixit exchanged vows with Dr. Shriram Nene, a heart and lung specialist residing in Los Angeles. Their wedding was a quiet, intimate affair away from the media glare, followed by a celebratory reception held in Mumbai. At the peak of her stardom in Hindi cinema, Madhuri made the unexpected decision to put her thriving film career on pause and relocate to Colorado, choosing to embrace a new journey focused on marriage and family.At the time they first met, Dr. Nene had little to no knowledge of Madhuri's iconic status in the Indian film industry. He wasn't acquainted with her work or the fame she carried, and he has often expressed that he always saw her as his spouse and life partner rather than a public figure. For him, her celebrity status held no weight—what mattered most was the bond they shared.Meanwhile, in terms of her professional engagements, Madhuri Dixit most recently appeared on screen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy film, where she starred alongside actors Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan.

Saina Nehwal announces divorce from husband Parupalli Kashyap after 7 years of marriage: 'Grateful for the memories ...'
On July 13, renowned Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal revealed her decision to separate from her husband, Parupalli Kashyap , bringing an end to their marriage of nearly seven years. The news was shared via her Instagram profile, where she posted a brief and heartfelt message announcing the mutual decision to go their separate ways. "Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing-for ourselves and each other. I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this time," wrote the badminton sensation on Instagram. Both Saina and Kashyap began their badminton journeys at the prestigious Pullela Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad. They grew up training together, gradually building their identities in the sport. Saina emerged as a global figure in Indian badminton, capturing an Olympic bronze medal and rising to the world number one ranking. Kashyap, too, earned significant acclaim, highlighted by his gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and consistent performances on international platforms. The pair formalized their relationship with marriage in 2018, after more than ten years of companionship and shared sporting goals. Parupalli eventually retired from professional play and shifted his focus to coaching. In a notable transition, he began mentoring Saina during the final phase of her competitive career. This role reversal—from fellow competitor and sparring partner to coach and advisor—reflected the strength and understanding within their bond. During his time as her coach, Kashyap played a key role in Saina's attempts to return to form following a string of injuries that had impacted her after the 2016 season. Though her comeback met with mixed outcomes, Saina's resilience remained unshaken. A standout moment came in 2019 when she triumphed over a strong PV Sindhu at the National Championships, with Kashyap guiding her from the sidelines. His presence was constant, especially at domestic matches and international qualifiers, where he provided strategic insights and emotional encouragement. Their relationship had long blended professional synergy with personal connection. Before becoming life partners, they were close friends and training companions for many years. Their wedding in 2018 was a private celebration of a bond forged on and off the court. Despite the recent announcement of their split, Saina expressed gratitude for the years they spent together and emphasized that the decision was made with maturity and respect. She highlighted the importance of personal growth and emotional healing, and appealed for privacy during this transitional phase. As of now, Parupalli Kashyap has not publicly commented on the separation. Their story, filled with shared victories and mutual support, remains a unique chapter in the history of Indian sports.
