Madhuri Mania
 
2007 promises to be the comeback year for the `Dhak Dhak' queen

She has been away from the arc-lights for four years. Putting conjugal bliss over a thriving film career, she bid adieu to an industry which was once her home. Judiciously enough, like many who return to their abode after realising that home is where the heart is, Madhuri Dixit too has decided to come back to where she belongs the film industry.

The year 2007 will see Mumbai filmdom’s seminal female superstar staging a comeback to the marquee with a Yash Raj production.

Ek, do, teen…here comes a new Madhuri
“There’s nothing new about me. I am the same Madhuri Dixit. But yes, you could say in a new avatar,” she laughs. “I don’t know what the year has in store for me. But as always, I am hopeful, ready to work hard,” she smiles. Like every year, Madhuri celebrated New Year’s Eve at home. “My kids and my family are my life. So it was obvious that I will be with them. Anyway, I am not into partying. I have never been,” she says.

Health and habits
Reports say that the actor has limped back to shape for the film. “I have always been a fitness freak. Whether I am working in a film or not, I would still like to be fit. I eat healthy and I have good habits. As parents, Ram (Sriram Nene, her husband) and I want our children to cultivate good habits,” she explains.

Missing out on the action
It’s evident that Madhuri, after settling down in the US with her family, has sorely missed acting. “I didn’t miss the paraphernalia attached with acting but I missed playing a character, emoting, shooting…I missed it all actually,” she says. Famed for her dancing skills, will she scorch the screen with her moves, like she did in ‘Devdas’? “What has dancing got to do with age?” she questions. “I will, if there’s scope,” she adds.

Acting is all sweat and toil
Having gone through the strain of acting, Madhuri says that she will have no objections if her sons decide to take up acting when they grow up. “I will tell them that this field has its own pitfalls and advantages. It’s all sweat and toil. It’s a high-pressure job. If you can handle it, all the best,” she ends.
