This Actress Romanced Father-Son On Screen, Injured After Actor Overdid Kiss Scene
1/6 Many actresses have had the opportunity to play the heroine alongside leading heroes in Indian cinema, and as they reach such heights, their remuneration often increases. Bollywood has always been at the forefront in this regard. However, some actresses have also faced challenging situations. Recently, news surfaced that a prominent star who played the heroine of both a father and son experienced a distressing incident, causing a stir. Madhuri Dixit began her acting career at the age of 17, debuting in the film Aabodh. Her performance in her first film garnered attention, and following some initial successes, her roles in films like Tezaab (1988), Dil (1990), Beta (1992), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), and Dil Toh Pagal Hai (1997) distinguished her as a standout actress. However, a troubling incident occurred where an actor, forgetting about the shoot, bit Madhuri's lip. Notably, Madhuri played the heroine to both him and his son. 3/6 Vinod Khanna entered the industry during the prominence of actors like Sunil Dutt, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rishi Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor was known for his style and fashion, while Khanna, who began his acting career in 1968, initially gained fame for his villainous roles. He was also a disciple of Osho. Khanna's filmography includes movies like Mere Apne, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Achanak, Amar Akbar Anthony, and Qurbani. During the shooting of Dayavan, Khanna forcibly kissed actress Madhuri Dixit, leading to controversy. Despite his established status, Madhuri was relatively new at the time. They both starred in the popular song ' Aaj Phir Tum Pe Pyar Aaya Hai '. In a romantic scene, Khanna, infatuated with the 20-year-old Madhuri, lost control and continued kissing her for five minutes, resulting in her lip being cut and bleeding. Even when the director called for a cut, Khanna did not stop. Although he later apologised to Madhuri, who was in tears, the scene remained in the film. In 1997, Madhuri Dixit also played the heroine opposite Vinod Khanna's son, Akshay Khanna, in the film Mohabbat, which became a hit.

Bollywood's beloved star was just 20 when a bold scene left her in tears: Years later, she gracefully shared screen with same actor's son
Not many actresses in Bollywood can claim to have shared screen space as the leading lady opposite both a father and his son, but Madhuri Dixit, one of the industry's most beloved stars, quietly holds that rare distinction. From her early days as a teenager stepping into the world of cinema to becoming the face of blockbusters through the late '80s and '90s, Madhuri's journey has been both iconic and eventful. With films like Tezaab, Dil, Beta, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, and Dil Toh Pagal Hai, she ruled the screen with grace, energy, and unmatched charisma. But behind the glittering career is also a lesser-known anecdote from her early film years, a moment that resurfaced in recent memory and left fans both surprised and concerned. A Scene That Went Too Far In 1988, Madhuri appeared in Dayavan, a film directed by Feroz Khan, starring opposite veteran actor Vinod Khanna. While the film went on to become known for its intense storyline and memorable soundtrack, one scene in particular drew attention, a romantic sequence that, according to reports, went beyond what was scripted. During the shoot, Madhuri, who was in her early twenties at the time, was said to have been visibly upset after a kiss scene reportedly continued beyond the director's cue, resulting in a minor on-set injury. Vinod Khanna later offered an apology, and despite Madhuri's discomfort and request to remove the scene, it remained in the final cut of the film. Live Events Years later, the scene still sparks discussions, not just for its controversial nature but as a reflection of how much the industry has evolved in respecting boundaries and ensuring safety on sets. From Veteran Actor to His Son Interestingly, Madhuri went on to star with Khanna's son, Akshaye Khanna, in Mohabbat (1997). The film marked a unique moment in Hindi cinema, where one actress had shared lead roles with two generations of a family, a testament to her enduring star power across eras. She had also appeared with Rishi Kapoor, another frequent co-star from the same generation as Vinod Khanna, in films like Yaarana and Prem Granth, though those did not match the success of her other major hits. Madhuri Dixit's grace, talent, and consistency ensured that any uncomfortable moments never defined her career. Instead, she remains celebrated for her dance, dialogue delivery, and screen presence that captivated audiences for decades. Inputs from TOI Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Did you know THIS actress romanced both father and son on screen - and was once injured after actor got carried away during kiss scene?
Madhuri Dixit, a Bollywood icon, faced a troubling incident early in her career during the filming of 'Dayavan.' A romantic scene with Vinod Khanna went awry, resulting in an on-set injury when Khanna reportedly got carried away during a kissing scene. Despite the distress and her request to remove the scene, it remained in the film. Not many actresses in Bollywood can say they've romanced both a father and his son on screen — but Madhuri Dixit holds that rare distinction. While her career is filled with iconic films and unforgettable performances, one troubling incident from her early days in the industry recently resurfaced, shedding light on the darker side of stardom. Madhuri stepped into the film industry at just 17, making her debut with Aabodh. While her early work caught attention, it was her powerhouse performances in hits like Tezaab (1988), Dil (1990), Beta (1992), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), and Dil Toh Pagal Hai (1997) that cemented her place as one of Bollywood's most iconic leading ladies. But behind the glitz, a disturbing moment once unfolded on set — during a scene, an actor reportedly forgot it was just a shoot and ended up biting Madhuri's lip. What's more, she later went on to play the romantic lead opposite both him and his son. Vinod Khanna made his entry into Bollywood during a time when stars like Sunil Dutt , Amitabh Bachchan, and Rishi Kapoor ruled the screen. While Rishi Kapoor was celebrated for his flair and fashion, Khanna carved a niche with his intense presence—starting out with villainous roles in the late 1960s. A devoted follower of spiritual guru Osho, Khanna went on to deliver memorable performances in films such as Mere Apne, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Achanak, Amar Akbar Anthony, and Qurbani. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo During the filming of Dayavan, a romantic scene between Vinod and a then-20-year-old Madhuri sparked controversy. Madhuri, still relatively new to the industry, starred alongside the veteran actor in the film's popular song 'Aaj Phir Tum Pe Pyar Aaya Hai.' In the scene, Khanna reportedly got carried away and continued kissing her well beyond the director's cue to stop, causing an on-set injury—Madhuri's lip was cut and began to bleed. Though Khanna later apologised to her, the incident left her in tears. Despite the distressing moment, the scene was retained in the final cut of the film. Despite her request to director Feroz Khan to remove the controversial kissing scene with Vinod in Dayavan, he declined. A legal notice followed, but the scene was retained after a payment of Rs 1 crore. Madhuri also worked with Rishi Kapoor in Sahiban, Yarana, and Prem Granth—all of which underperformed, with Prem Granth being the only notable one. In 1997, the actress played the lead opposite his son, Akshaye Khanna , in the hit film Mohabbat, making her one of the few actresses to star opposite both father and son.

'She's too thin': Meet the singer who supposedly turned down marriage proposal from Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri Dixit , who later became one of the most celebrated actresses of the 1990s, didn't begin her cinematic journey with instant success. According to veteran actor Raza Murad, her early days in the film industry were marked by a series of underwhelming performances at the box office. Projects like Abodh and Awara Baap failed to gain traction, and her talent remained unnoticed. As the chances of her achieving stardom seemed dim, her parents reportedly began exploring marriage proposals, believing her film career had hit a dead end. "She was doing insignificant films like Abodh and Awara Baap. Nobody cared for her; nobody noticed her. Her parents decided to get her married because her career was at rock bottom," Murad told Filmy Charcha . A Rejected Proposal That Changed Her Life In his conversation with Filmy Charcha, Raza Murad recounted how her family approached a well-known playback singer as a potential groom. However, the singer declined the alliance, reportedly finding her physical frame too slender. This rejection, rather than becoming a setback, ironically set the stage for an unexpected breakthrough in her professional journey. "They approached a playback singer and arranged a meeting between them. He looked at her and said, 'She's too thin, Tezaab Turns the Tide Not long after, Madhuri landed a pivotal role in the action film Tezaab (1988), which catapulted her into the public eye. Her performance was widely appreciated, and she began to shed the image of a struggling actress. The film's success was a turning point that reshaped her future in the industry. Subhash Ghai's Timely Intervention During a shoot in Kashmir alongside superstar Rajesh Khanna, Madhuri's fate took another dramatic turn. Renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai happened to be filming nearby. As Raza Murad shared, it was Madhuri's hairdresser who introduced her to Ghai, who was reportedly captivated by her charisma and potential. He requested a meeting in Mumbai and eventually cast her in the film Ram Lakhan, which went on to be a commercial hit. Ghai's decision to launch her under his banner proved pivotal in cementing her position as a bankable star. Suresh Wadkar's Indirect Confirmation In a 2023 episode of the singing competition Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, singer Suresh Wadkar seemed to hint that he was the man who had declined the marriage proposal from Madhuri's family years ago. When host Aditya Narayan hinted at an old rumour about a famous actress being rejected for marriage by a singer, Wadkar responded with a shy smile and glanced at his wife, Padma, seated beside him. While he didn't confirm it outright, his playful response led judges Anu Malik and Himesh Reshammiya to conclude the story had some truth. A Life Beyond the Spotlight In 1999, Madhuri married Dr. Sriram Nene, a US-based heart surgeon, and shifted her base to Denver, Colorado. She stepped back from films to focus on her family, raising two sons who are now college students. Years later, she made a return to Indian entertainment, now often appearing as a judge on music and dance reality shows. Suresh Wadkar jokingly acknowledged that his old comments might catch up with him one day, especially given Madhuri's recurring presence on national television. Who Is Suresh Wadkar? Suresh Ishwar Wadkar, born on 7 August 1955, is a renowned Indian playback vocalist known for his contributions to both Hindi and Marathi cinema. Alongside mainstream film music, he has also lent his voice to Bhojpuri and Konkani films, as well as Odia devotional albums and bhajans. In recognition of his remarkable work in the genre of Sugam Sangeet (light classical music), Wadkar received the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for the year 2018. Further honouring his artistic excellence, the Government of India conferred upon him the Padma Shri in 2020.
