Actor Madhuri Dixit celebrated her 58th birthday today. Her husband, Dr Shriram Nene posted pictures with his wife and children on Instagram, along with a beautiful caption where he describes the actor as the 'light' in his life.
The caption of the post read, Happy birthday to the one who's brightened our lives in every way. You've made everything lighter, warmer, and better—just by being you. I'd choose you all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the love, the laughter, and the light you bring. Here's to us and to many more beautiful years ahead. I love you, always.' The post featured pictures of the couple with their two sons, Arin and Ryan.

Madhuri Dixit and Dr Shriram Nenek tied the knot in 1999, and while it's not unnatural for Bollywood stars to marry out of the industry, Madhuri's decision was still discussed plenty. Shortly after the marriage, Madhuri decided to leave Bollywood right at the peak of her career and wouldn't return for more than a decade. On Dr Nene's podcast the couple talked about the comfort that comes with anonymity in the US, even though there were instances when fans would find her address in Denver and wait in front of her house. 'Once there was a car parked right outside my gate, and people were sitting inside it for a long time. My neighbour then called me, 'I think there is something happening. There's a car right outside your door, and it hasn't moved in the past three hours. Should we call the police? I am scared.' I told her, Don't be scared. I'm sure it's just someone who wants to take a look at me,' added the actor.

While talking to SCREEN, Madhuri had also talked about her decision to return to India after more than a decade, and she credited her homecoming to the fact that her parents were getting old and wanted to return. 'My parents were living with me (in the US); they were getting old, and they wanted to return to India. That's why we started thinking about it. We felt the kids would also get to live in India. In the US, you are living in a bubble.'
It seems that after all these years the couple has made a successful transition to India. Madhuri even shared an anecdote while talking to Google about how her husband made friends with Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Farah Khan on the dance floor. 'We were at this party, and they were like, 'Oh, you have to dance, Dr Nene. You have to dance.' We were shooting for all this (Dance with Madhuri), and he has picked up a lot by just watching. And he was so good on the floor that Farah came up to me and said, 'He is going to be my next dance partner now.''
Since returning to India, Madhuri Dixit has appeared in films like Dedh Ishqiya (2014). Gulaab Gang (2014), Kalank (2019) and Bhool Bhulayiaa 3 (2024).
