Madhuri Dixit (born as Madhuri Shankar Dixit to a Marathi
Chitpavan Brahmin family on May 15, 1967) is an award winning
Indian Bollywood actress and one of the biggest stars of the
Indian film industry. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, she
dominated Hindi cinema as a leading actress, appearing in many
hit films. She is considered to be an icon of the Bollywood film
industry. Dixit has been praised for her beauty, acting talent
and dancing skills.
Madhuri wanted to become a micro-biologist - however that just
wasn't destined to be. An offer from Rajshri Productions brought
Madhuri her first role. Maduri Dixit made her acting debut in
Abodh (1984). After a few minor and supporting roles her first
major role was in Tezaab (1988) which launched her career. She
then went on to star in the hit films Ram Lakhan (1989), Parinda
(1989), Tridev (1989), Dil (1990), Kishan Kaniyan (1990), Saajan
(1991), Beta (1992), Khalnayak (1993), the Bollywood blockbuster
Hum Aapke Hain Kaun! (1994) and Raja (1995).
After two years of little success, she appeared as Pooja in the
blockbuster Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), for which she won her
fourth Filmfare Best Actress Award. In the same year, Dixit
starred in Prakash Jha's critically acclaimed Mrityudand. A
powerful commentary on social and gender injustice, the film
straddled the boundary between an art and a commercial film. It
won the Best Feature Film at the Cinéma Tout Ecran in Geneva,
the Bangkok Film Festival and the Sansui Awards (Critics'
Choice). Her performance in the film also landed her Best
Actress awards at the Star Screen Awards and Sansui Awards.
Her dance sequences accompanying many famous Bollywood songs
such as Ek Do Teen (from Tezaab), Bada Dukh Dina (from Ram
Lakhan), Dhak Dhak (from Beta), Chane Ke Kheth Mein (from Anjaam),
Choli Ke Peechche (from Khalnayak), Akhiyan Milau (from Raja),
Piya Ghar Aya (from Yaarana), Key Sera (from Pukar), Mardala
(from Devdas), and many others have received abundant critical
acclaim.
In 2002, she starred in Devdas, with actor Shahrukh Khan and
Aishwarya Rai. Her performance was applauded and earned her a
Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. The film attracted
worldwide attention and was featured at the Cannes Film
Festival. Since then she has not appeared in any films.
The following year a film named after her, Main Madhuri Dixit
Banna Chahti Hoon!, was released.
On February 25, 2006 she performed on stage for the first time
in six years at the Filmfare Awards to music from her last movie
Devdas. Her performance was choreographed by Saroj Khan and was
very well received.
Madhuri Dixit has been the muse for the famous Indian painter
M.F. Hussain who considers her the epitome of the Indian woman.
She also appeared in his film, Gaja Gamini (2000). The film was
intended as a tribute to Dixit's talent and beauty.
On December 7, 2006, Dixit returned to Mumbai along with her
husband and sons to start filming for her new film, Aaja Nachle
(2007).
Recently, on Women's International Day, a special article was
released to pay tribute to Bollywood Heroines. Dixit topped the
list of the Best Bollywood Actresses Ever.
