Madhuri Dixit
Quick Read
Madhuri Dixit has spent decades being one of Indian cinema’s most recognisable faces. Still, away from the arc lights and adulation, her life took a distinctly quieter turn when she moved to the United States in 1999 after marrying Dr Sriram Nene. For over a decade, the actor lived a largely low-key life in the West, raising her two sons far removed from the limelight of Bollywood.
In a recent conversation on mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Madhuri reflected on how her children, Arin and Ryan, grew up with surprisingly little awareness of her cinematic legacy. “We lived there for a little over ten years,” she shared, adding that her sons’ exposure to her film career was minimal while growing up in the US. “They’ve actually seen more of my films after going to college than they ever did before.”
