Madhuri Dixit Nene, one of the most proficient actors of her time, ruled the silver screen for 37 years. The industry was dominated by male megastars at the start of her career. Her on-screen personality, on the other hand, helped to balance the power equation.
Madhuri Dixit has a large list of films to her credit, some of which have been great hits, some of which have been forgotten, and others that are remembered because of her presence.
Let’s take a glance back at some of Madhuri Dixit’s most memorable moments that made our hearts go dhak-dhak.
1. Bidding Adieu … Prahaar (1991)
The film was about patriotism, military training, and, most crucially, Nana Patekar as the ‘hero.’ Madhuri, on the other hand, pulls off the scenario when her fiance, an army officer, goes home to perform his responsibilities to the best of his ability. She is enraged and terrified of losing him. She dominated the stage as a brazen, loud girl madly in love with her man.
2. Beta (1992)
A revised copy of Illayaraaja’s composition ‘Abba nee teeyani debba’ from the 1992 drama ‘Beta’ starring Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor was one of the immortal songs of the 1990s. However, Madhuri Dixit’s performance in Saroj Khan’s choreography made the Hindi version timeless. It was regarded as one of the most daring songs of its period.
3. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994)
Remember Nisha, who was so easygoing? She was enough to keep not only her own family together but also her sister’s in-laws. Her cheeky and playful moments, as well as her relationship with Salman Khan, provided us with endless entertainment.
4. Anjam (1994)
This is a psychological thriller directed by Rahul Rawail in which Dixit plays an air hostess who is pursued by Shah Rukh Khan’s relentless boyfriend Vijay Agnihotri. Despite the film’s lackluster box office result, Madhuri Dixit’s performance is still regarded as one of her greatest.
5. Devdas (2002)
Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed the film, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Madhuri Dixit and is based on Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel of the same name.
Chandramukhi, a courtesan in the film who is regarded as the richest and most beautiful prostitute, was created by Dixit.
