Madhuri Dixit's Husband Dr Nene Critiques Rani Mukerji's Viral Snake Venom Scene: ‘Not Realistic'
Last Updated: Dr. Sriram Nene, noted surgeon and husband of Madhuri Dixit, recently reacted to a now-viral scene from Rani Mukerji's debut film Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat. Rani Mukerji's 1996 debut Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat has often raised eyebrows for its problematic storyline, including a plot point where a sexual assault survivor marries her rapist. But it's not just the storyline that has aged poorly—one infamous scene from the film recently caught the attention of cardiothoracic surgeon and YouTuber Dr. Sriram Nene, husband of Madhuri Dixit, and his reaction says it all. In a recent YouTube video, Dr. Nene reviewed a series of popular medical memes and cinematic moments that blur the lines between fact and fiction. One of the clips featured Rani Mukerji's character sucking snake venom out of her on-screen husband's leg to save his life. Rolling his eyes, Dr. Nene quipped, 'I don't know the context of this but I think what we're seeing is that old wives' tale where sucking venom supposedly saves the patient." Calling the scene outdated and medically inaccurate, he explained, 'By the time a patient shows neurological symptoms, the venom has already entered the system. Sucking it out won't help. What you can do is apply a tourniquet and rush the person to a hospital where they can be administered antivenom." Dr. Nene also reflected on real-life snakebite cases, especially in rural India. 'India is not one homogeneous country. While metros are modernized, 70% of India is still rural. In places like Konkan, where my family comes from, cobra sightings were common and antivenom wasn't always available. People would keep dogs or mongoose to protect against snakes." Returning to the film scene, he concluded, 'This is pure cinema. Not the most realistic and definitely not the most effective. But I've seen this trope in both Western and Eastern films. It's just… not how medicine works." Despite its flawed narrative, Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat marked the beginning of Rani Mukerji's successful Bollywood journey. However, scenes like these continue to find new life as meme material—and now, as teaching moments for medical professionals online. Watch CNN-News18 here.

Madhuri Dixit's husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, finds Rani Mukerji's iconic snakebite scene 'pure cinema,' but ...
Rani Mukerji '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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo 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.

Aside from the film's problematic depiction of domestic violence, it also included a scene in which Rani's character sucks snake venom out of her husband to save his life. They fall in love. The movie was criticised for its plot, and is now the source of memes. One such scene from the film was recently viewed by Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Sriram Nene, who couldn't help but roll his eyes. In his latest YouTube video, Dr Nene was seen reviewing a couple of medical memes, sharing what's real and what's dangerous about them. Among the many memes that he watched, Rani Mukerji's snake venom scene from Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat stood out.

What you can do, though, if you are at the scene, is you can put a tourniquet on and then get the patient to help where they can give them an antivenom.' He then recalled the time when his own family once kept mongoose and dogs to protect them from snakes as it was a common affair back then. 'In many parts of India… remember India is not one India. It is 30% metro, 70% rural. And in the rural areas like Konkan where my family was from two generations ago, they did have cobras and other snakes and they didn't always have antivenoms readily available. People did die of these bites. They would keep mongoose and dogs to to kind of protect you.' Getting back to the film's scene, Dr Nene said, 'This scene is pure cinema for the most part. Not sure that it's realistic and wouldn't give you the best results. But I have seen it before in western films as well as eastern films so not a big surprise, just that it doesn't work.'
