Madhuri Dixit Nene has been a part of Hindi Cinema for the last 36 years. Starting her career with Abodh in 1984, she went on to become one of the most admired and successful actors with one massive success after another. But her success wasn't easy. In an interview with Pinkvilla recently, she opened up on her initial days of struggles, hearing comments about being too skinny, and how the success of Tezaab changed things.

Speaking about the beginning of her career, she said, "In the initial phase, of course. I did my first film Abodh which did not do well and then I went back to college, but by then the bug had bit me already. I liked acting and be in front of the camera. So I did small roles in 2-3 movies like Awara Baap, Swati as supporting roles."
