The actor still enjoys a huge popularity as was evident when the crowd at a recent concert in the US cheered her when she set foot on stage
Even so many years after leaving India and settling down abroad, Madhuri Dixit-Nene’s fan base hasn’t declined. It was evident during a recent concert with the Bachchans in the US where the crowd welcomed the dancing diva with a thunderous applause the moment she stepped on stage.
Speaking about the concert Madhuri says, “The tour gave me an opportunity to perform with Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya and Abhishek on the same stage. The LA and San Francisco shows have been overwhelming and I am looking forward to visiting other cities and reaching out to my fans.”
Apart from Amitabh, Aishwarya and Abhishek, the tour also features Preity Zinta “I have worked with Aishwarya and Preity before and that has been great. Also there is a great comfort level in our team,” says Madhuri.
However, this was not the first time that Madhuri was appearing for a stage show.
“I was three-and-half years old when I first performed on stage. It was a small portion of Kathak,” she says smiling. When asked about her first world tour, she says, “It was in 1991. I was on a world tour with Anil Kapoor. It happened after our movies Tezaab and Ram Lakhan were declared hits.”
The actor also can’t stop raving about Amitabh Bachchan and the common link with Big B that she and her husband Sriram Nene share.
“The first film that I watched in theatre was Amar Akbar Anthony. When I asked my husband about the only Hindi movie that he watched, I was surprised when he said Amar Akbar Anthony.”
Madhuri also recalled the time when she was recognised for the first time by her fans.
“It was after my movie Tezaab was declared a hit. I was at the Mumbai airport when I saw a few youngsters whispering amongst themselves. I heard the word Mohini – my screen name in Tezaab. One of them then came up to me and asked, ‘Are you are Mohini from Tezaab?’ I was very excited. I also received many fan mails after Tezaab. I was amazed by the response. That was the first time I realised that I was getting popular,” she signs off.
