MUMBAI: Denver, Colorado, in the United States is dotted with bears and wolves. But there were more bears and certainly more wolves who logged on to Indiatimes Chat on Friday August 2, 7:00 pm IST when Indian actress par excellence, Madhuri Dixit Nene, logged on from the US where she is now settled with her husband Dr Sriram Nene.

Madhuri Dixit received Padma Shri for her contribution to Indian cinema and the former Bollywood diva says the honour is a result of her hard work and honesty. "It's always a wonderful feeling to have your work honoured.

Madhuri Dixit turned 41 on May 15. But if you catch a glance of one of Bollywood’s most successful actress you wouldn’t ever believe her age! From balancing her personal life, to staying out of the media limelight and then still maintaining a close relationship with her fans in India, Mads as well love to call her, has done it all.

Every film journalist who has met her has a favourite MD (Madhuri Dixit) story. MD stories are not about diva tantrums, eccentricity or mood swings. Instead everyone raves about her beauty. My favourite one is actually not my own but was told to me by a veteran film journalist who met Madhuri in the summer of 1997 on the sets of Dil To Pagal Hai. She was shooting the Arre Re Arre track and looked ethereal in white. Through his most memorable interview, he said, he didn’t make eye contact with Madhuri. “I was scared,” he said “that my gaze would stray.”

Meeting Madhuri Dixit is always a pleasure. This time, however, it took me some time to pin her down as her family keeps her occupied. Madhuri has been the reigning queen of Bollywood and had a record number of hits to her credit. Last time when I spoke to her, she was in USA. "I am not doing films, you still want to feature me?" she had asked. Needless to say, one doesn't need a reason to feature Madhuri Dixit. Now back in Mumbai, she has signed Yashraj's untitled film. 

After marriage and motherhood the eternal and sensational diva, Madhuri Dixit, is back in bollywood. her beauty, dancing skills and power -packed performances in Indian cinema had made her the most popular and powerful actress in the 1980 -90s. On a roll again, the legendary actress is busy with her comeback film Aaja Naachley.

On the special occasion of Women's Day we catch up with Madhuri Dixit as she talks shop on her career, marriage, kids and more.

She's been the queen of Indian hearts. and not just Indian! Even our neighbouring country was ready to suspend long-standing issues if they got her in return! Now Madhuri Dixit is back, and while she isn't the dhak-dhak girl anymore, the superstar is playing a dancer -- what many would call her most natural avatar -- in this Friday's release, Aaja Nachle.

Bollywood queen Madhuri Dixit, who is making a comeback after a long hiatus with Aaja Nachle, says she she missed choreographer Saroj Khan during the making the film. "Obviously, I missed her during the film. I am a big fan of Saroj Khan," says the dancing diva who regards Saroj Khan as her guru and mentor. "My name is always synonymous with Sarojji and her dances," Madhuri told PTI in an exclusive interview.
