Bollywood’s diva and now Padma Shri winner Madhuri Dixit Nene says that receiving the honour was a pleasant surprise gift a few days before her birthday. She turns 41 on Thursday (May 15).
“I had never expected that this honour would be bestowed upon me. Honestly, it was a surprise when I came to know that I have been selected. But I am delighted that the work which I have done has been recognized and I am very lucky that I was felicitated by the first woman President of India,” says an elated Madhuri who adds, “After receiving the award, me and Ram went to Siddhivinayak temple to seek God’s blessings.”

Asked about her birthday plans, she reveals,” I don’t have any plans as both my kids are back in the US. My mother in law and my mom are there taking care of them. I am really missing them. I am flying back in 4-5 days and then we will celebrate.”

On her future plans in Bollywood, she says, “There are some offers but I have not signed any project yet. Right now I do not want to do any films.”

Madhuri was recently seen at the premiere of Jimmy, Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mimoh’s debut film. The actress, who married US based Dr Sriram Nene in 1999, made a comeback in Bollywood after six years with Yash Raj’s Aaja Nachle last November. Unfortunately, the film did not do too well.
