ni cerita pasal madhuri tu..
Came across this interesting article in The Telegrapharchives. Thought of sharing with you guys. The article is written byBollywood's noted journalist Subhash K Jha. The year is 2005 I’m glad Madhuri Dixit retired in time. Beyond Chandramukhiin Devdas there was little that she could offer Bollywood, or vice versa. OnMay 15, she turned 30-something. Mother of two sons, happily married to DrNene, and what-have-you Madhuri always struck me as a little cold around herheart, and distant. You’d understand what I mean only if you’ve met some of theother actresses who came after her, like Aishwarya, Preity, Kareena orPriyanka. Though they are huge stars today they don’t behave likestars. They are friendly, down-to-earth and extremely vivacious. Madhuribelongs to that generation of stars who believe they have to behave like a starto be recognised as one. Not that I haven’t met warm and truly friendlyactresses from her generation. Asha Parekh, who came two generations beforeMadhuri, is one gloriously affable gal. And from Madhuri’s contemporaries Juhi,Manisha and Reveena certainly don’t behave like stars. But Madhuri?oh boy! Does she give star vibes! I remember howshe made a very major director, perhaps the most major of them all, wait on thesets with the entire cast and crew because the next installment of her feeshadn’t come. “First the money, only then I’ll shoot,” she said with asteely-glint in her eyes. The harassed filmmaker ran from pillar to post tokeep the shooting going. The rest of the cast worked without their pay-cheques.Not Madhuri. For her the motto was, “Paisa pheko tamaasha dekho.” The first time I met her she was shooting for that marathonmovie called Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam with Salman Khan in a bungalow. “I wantedto meet you to give you a piece of my mind?You had said some very nasty thingsabout my song Choli ke peechhe kya hai,” she greeted me with a sneer. Oh, dear?It was rather strange that she wanted to give me apiece of her mind when it was she who had the nation aghast with her suggestivesong. Anyway the ice broke (though it never melted) and we chatted. Salmanpeeped in later, saw me sitting with Madhuri, froze and left. When I was readyto do the same, I realised to my horror that Salman had bolted the door of themakeup room from outside. She grinned in embarrassment and shouted for help. Ileft. Many years later I met Madhuri again on the sets of my dearfriend Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas. She didn’t seem to like my presence...ormaybe she just doesn’t like being friendly on the sets. Whatever the reason,she behaved very coldly. When I asked if I could sit on the chair next to her,she smiled in that frozen way of hers and said, “Well, it doesn’t have anyone’sname on it.” Maybe Madhuri doesn’t like company on the sets. She alwayskept her distance for sure. And she never allowed over-familiar behaviour. I respect her for her professionalism. But did she make manyfriends in Bollywood while she was here? She was always aloof, the star ratherthan the yaar. As a kalaakar I thought she had a long way to go. Sure, she gave the hits. But has anyone seen the way she waspresented in her most successful films? Barring Bhansali’s Devdas and perhaps PrakashJha’s Mrityudand all the directors she worked with camouflaged her considerablefacial beauty in acres of muck. But the zeroes on the paycheque were justright. Madhuri was meant to be a diva, not a mannequin. She thoughtshe chose her roles well. But she didn’t. Turning down Bhansali’s Khamoshi: TheMusical only because he was a new director was a huge mistake. She made the newdirector wait for hours on end for days after days. She wouldn’t even open thedoor of her makeup room to let him say ‘hello’. Finally, she said ‘no’. Much later I asked her why. “I couldn’t relate to thecharacter of the normal girl with deaf and mute parents,” she confessed. Yeah,right. Much easier to relate to the girl in Indra Kumar’s Dil or thedaughter-in-law in Beta. She also lost Vinod Chopra’s 1942: A Love Story over amonetary issue. Money, I guess, was always an important factor for her. Nothingwrong with that. Except that greatness for an artiste comes from creativeflexibility not the bank account. India’s greatest showbiz icon AmitabhBachchan couldn’t dream of asking for money in Black. And there are so manycameos and voiceovers he has done gratis for friends and friends’ friends. That’s why a Bachchan will be cherished for years. Dixitisn’t missed in Bollywood. I haven’t come across anyone who says, “I’d haveliked to write that one memorable role for Madhuri that would’ve immortalisedher”?the way they say about Sridevi. Most believe she left at the right time.Her career couldn’t go beyond Bhansali and Devdas. Certainly not BuddhadebDasgupta from Bengal either! No one feels her loss in the film industry. Buteveryone wishes her well. So do I. Happy birthday, Madhuri. Hope motherhood brought thatone quality which was tragically missing from your personality. Genuine warmth.Not just that cold smiley. |
