Непревзойденная Мадхури
wichy: Как-то даже несправедливо, что у нее нет своей темы :-) Она, конечно, временно (надеюсь [img src=/gif/sm/sm13.gif] ) не в индустрии, но тем не менее - она одна из ярчайших звезд на небосклоне Болливуда [img src=/gif/sm/sm10.gif]

wichy: Одно из недавних интервью (06.04.2006 г.): (http://rss.topix.net/who/madhuri-dixit?scoring=d) Вы скучаете по киноиндустрии? Смотря что вы подразумеваете под словом "киноиндустрия". Если ее атрибуты - то нет, я не скучаю по ним. Но я скучаю по своей профессии, приготовлениям к съемкам, нервозности перед съемками и подобным вещам... Но у меня мало времени думать об этом в Лос-Анджелесе, мои дети слишком малы - один и три года, и требуют внимания. Но в свободные моменты я вспоминаю мою кино-жизнь. Старший сын скоро узнает, как популярна его мать. Он уже попробовал этого, когда мы ходили к врачу в Мумбаи. Фотограф шел за нами и снимал. Это надо было видеть, как счастлив был мой сын. Ваши дети единственные, кому неизвестно о вашей славе Абсолютно неизвестно. Когда я пришла домой с представления на Filmfare Awards, они оказались узнавать меня в гриме. Они не могли видеть меня даже на ТВ - было слишком поздно, когда началось мое представление. Однажды в Лос-Анджелесе я пробовала показать им мои клипы - они не заинтересовались. И когда я показала старшему мое фото на обложке ДВД с фильмом Девдас, он обычным тоном сказал - "это ты, мам". Он не связывает меня со славой. Было бы забавно увидеть, как они отреагировали бы на Мадхури-звезду.
nelke: wichy пишет: оставила карьеру ради семьи и детей И вот:
wichy: Еще одна его версия: Вы скучаете по поклонению? Совершенно нет!!! Я слишком занята, будучи женой и матерью. Иметь собственную семью было моей мечтой. И сейчас она у меня есть. Я выросла в большой семье, и для меня очень важно иметь свою семью. Так же важно, как моя слава, даже больше. Мне нравится быть актрисой. Но я точно знала, сколько лет отдам карьере. Насладившись каждым из них, сейчас я наслаждаюсь, будучи домохозяйкой. Я уверен, в Лос-Анджелесе Вас узнают. О да. В магазинах подходят сфотографироваться. Вам придется возвращаться уже совсем в другую киноиндустрию Да, в другую. Сегодняшние фильмы технически более совершенны, и с тех пор как кино на Хинди распространилось в разные части света, оно эстетически гораздо лучше, чем более ранние фильмы. Я смотрю некоторые мои ранние фильмы и поеживаюсь. Но так и должно быть. Мне это нравится, я рада переменам к лучшему, приятно внимание даже к деталям. У вас много друзей в индустрии? Не очень много. Но у меня есть доброжелатели. И я знаю, что если у них есть какие-то задумки, они обратятся ко мне. Проект должен стоить моих усилий. На самом деле. было три фильма, в которых я должна была участвовать два года назад, но они не состоялись из-за моей беременности. Я думаю, в тот период времени родить ребенка было более заманчивым, чем снять фильм. Сейчас люди, обращающиеся ко мне, приходят с конкретными ролями и не просто случайными предложениями. Это прекрасно. Я открыта любым предложениям, кроме скучных. Вы смотрели недавно какие-нибудь фильмы? Я видела несколько песен из Банти и Бабли. Я обожаю Kajra Re. Parineeta единственный фильм, который я видела, и он мне понравился. Вам бы очень подошла роль в нем. Но Видья Балан сделала чудесную работу. Сейчас, когда я здесь, я планирую оставлять детей с моими родителями и смотреть новые фильмы.
wichy: nelke Классная фотография :-) Мне кажется, из Мадхури вышла чудеснейшая мать. А ребенок очень прикольный
nelke: wichy Мадху такая тут веселая, озорная, именно такой она мне нра А дите на китайчонка смахивает имхо...
Lo: Дите копия папа... Даже прически одинаковые...
wichy: А я тут узнала, темная я женщина, что в Kahe Ched Mohe в Девдасе Мадхури слова проговаривает сама... А Кавита Кришнамурти тока поет за нее, где идет чистый вокал.
queen79: Очень понравилась мне семейная фотография... Почему-то стало как-то легко и радостно на душе... Вообще уж чего не отнять у Мадхури( ну,кроме, естественно таланта и потрясающей пластики)- это ее улыбки! Когда она улыбается- все, солнце взошло По крайней мере, у меня всегда такая ассоциация возникает.. А вообще,я очень люблю Мадхури,да. Ну, и как я уже говорила , Мадхури в наце и в танце- это просто праздник какой-то!
wichy: queen79 пишет: Вообще уж чего не отнять у Мадхури( ну,кроме, естественно таланта и потрясающей пластики)- это ее улыбки! Угу, не припомню больше никого с настолько обаятельной, теплой, сияющей улыбкой. Вообще, Мадхури для меня, пожалуй - воплощение женственности. А в наце и в танце - это да, очччень скучаю по ее танцам, только ради них уже хочу ее возвращения. Эх, фильмец какой-нибудь с ней, да хореографом туда ее любимую Сародж Кхан....
queen79: wichy пишет: Эх, фильмец какой-нибудь с ней, да хореографом туда ее любимую Сародж Кхан.... Это да,это да.... Может,вернется все-таки- так хочется настоящего красивого инд.кино, с танцами, с костюмами...

nelke: Madhuri Dixit 'The Dhak-Dhak' girl who created waves with her dance number 'Ek Do Teen', 'Dhak-Dhak Karne Laga', 'Choli Ke Pichey' etc is now all set to woo the audience by portraying 'Chandramukhi' in Sanjay Leela Bansali's 'Devdas'. Madhuri has stolen the hearts of millions by her innocent beauty, her sensuous smile and killing looks. She was in the peak of her career when she got married creating a sudden void and doubt in the mind of her fans as to whether it was the end of her career. Madhuri is now excited about 'Devdas' and awaiting its release. According to her this is her best performance. Seasonsindia correspondent Ekta Dhupia finds out more about her career, marriage, husband and future plans. Excerpts from the interview. Tell me Madhuri why did you decide to get married when you were in your peak and success was at your feet. Well maybe because I was in love (laughs). Actually it just happened. Nothing was planned and I had to get married someday, isn't it? It was not as if I was avoiding marriage all these years because I was busy in my career. I had always said that I'd get married the day I met the right man. And that's what I did. But didn't your step to marry bother you since the film industry tends to write off a heroine the moment she marries. So in a way it would have ended your career. This is not true. What has marriage got to do with marriage? There are and have been many successful heroines who continued working after marriage like Madhubala, Nargisji, Meena Kumari, nutun and have been very successful. Just because I am married it doesn't mean I have lost my drive to work. My husband understands that I am a professional, and it is upto me to choose what I want to do and how I want to handle my career. I do want to continue acting. Of course, my priorities are different now. I will only do films that get me charged, and are worth my while. I am looking for good scripts and challenging roles.
nelke: How was it working with Sanjay Leela Bansali? It was great. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. He is a perfectionist and deals with every situation in the film extraordinarily. My character in the film is very challenging and I can say that it is one of the best performances I have given. Tell us more about 'Chandramukhi'. Well she is epitome of sacrifice and love. I find Chandramukhi's a challenging character to play. She had lived a tough life, seen it all in the raw. And she gave herself to the man she loved without even knowing if he loved her at all. It was tough because in one character you will find shades of all emotions. How was it working with Shah Rukh Khan? Oh! Great. He is very professional and at the same time a kid who is full of energy and zest for life. There were rumours that there was cold vibes between you and Aishwarya on the sets of 'Devdas'? Who spreads such rumours? It is ridiculous. Ash is a very nice girl. We've met and we've talked. But nothing of that sort - no bad vibes or cold vibes or anything. Is it true that you asked for some changes in the script of 'Devdas'? No, no changes. And everybody knows the story of 'Devdas'. What changes can you make in that? And secondly, I don't think Sanjay is someone who will make changes in the script for anyone in the world. Once he knows what the script is, that's it. Your performance in Pukar is rated among your best. What do you think? It was one of those films I said 'yes' to instinctively. I loved the character of Anjali. It was different from anything I had done before.It had shades of grey. Anjali was very human, with all her weaknesses and vulnerability. And it was a great experience working with Raj Santoshi. But I think my performance in 'Dendas' is the best perfomance I have ever given. Tell me what made you accept the role in 'Lajja'. When Rajji came to me first I was very hesitant. Because there were so many characters in the film. But when I heard the script, I liked it. It was a very interesting character - that of a very strong woman. Of course, all the women in the film, whether it is Mahima, Manisha or Rekha, are strong women. It's about how they take a stand in society and everything. I guess finally I got convinced about doing the film. Your film with Ajay Devgan, 'Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke', has been delayed for a long time. What went wrong? Yes, the film has been delayed due to certain reasons. There was a problem on the set earlier and an entire schedule was cancelled. The set was standing and they said the producer would have to break it. Something like that. I'm not really sure. And one major schedule got cancelled. And then one by one everything started going haywire. But now we're shooting again. I hope everything goes ok now. Do you have any interesting assignments on hand? Yes, there are a couple, but it's too premature to talk about them. What does Mr Nene think of your work? I have shown him just one film of mine, Mrityudand, but he didn't like it. I would like him to see Pukar, and some of my earlier films like Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, Prem Pratigya and Beta. And Devdas ofcourse. How would you describe your husband, Sriram Nene? What kind of a person is he? I see him as an extension of myself. What struck me about him straightaway were our common interests. He's a lot like me. Very easygoing, loves outdoor life. It's been great getting to know him Will you ever consider producing a film to give full play to your talent as an actress? Never. I don't think I am capable of that. But I might consider directing a film. But there's time for that. In a recent interview you had said that you have only done 30 percent of what you are capable of. I do feel that at times, because I am capable of much more. I guess every artiste feels that way. If you are satisfied, you begin to stagnate. I want to grow as an actress everyday. There are so many things you can learn and you can improve upon your skills and abilities everyday.
nelke: Еще интервью с Мадхури, мне понравилось ********************* “Don’t sit so far away, it’s like talking on a long distance line...” Madhuri Dixit had joked when I dropped by at her residence two years ago. Today, the only communication possible with the actress is a long distance call and strangely, it’s not in the least bit uncomfortable. It’s early morning in Florida and Madhuri is buzzing with her morning routine in her cosy apartment. In Mumbai, it’s late evening and I’m getting ready to retire for the day. It’s May 15, Madhuri’s birthday and there are recurring interruptions, but Dixit picks up the threads of our conversation with characteristic patience and professionalism. Are you having a big bash for your birthday? No, I don’t enjoy big bashes. But yes, we are having a quiet dinner in the evening with friends. Actually, the last few weeks have been too hectic. We’ve been travelling particularly every weekend. Now my husband and I are looking forward to spending some time at home. You were recently in UK for the Selfridges show, what was it like? Quite revelatory. The event is a great platform for Indian films. Suddenly, there is a lot of curiosity amongst the West for Asian films. This has happened after Lagaan making it to the Oscars. It’s great news and reason enough for celebration. The show is meant to open new markets for Hindi cinema in the global context. What are your views? What’s heartening is that this is the first time that the West is drawn to Indian mainstream cinema. All along, the representation was from the experimental films. That’s changing. At last, everyone is accepting that there is quality in commercial cinema too. This is a good sign. Acknowledgement will assure responsibility, both for the filmmakers as well as for the artistes. How responsible do you feel as a brand ambassador for your beauty products? Emami as you know is a herbal products range for skin and haircare. There is global interest right now in herbs and horticulture healing. It’s a killer market with cut-throat competition, but the manufacturers are confident of reaching out to a wider audience via the Asians settled abroad. I feel morally and commercially responsible for all my commitments and am giving it my best shot. Finally, of course, the product has to be good to become popular. How would you analyse your last few releases? Lajja was a satisfactory experience. Not just for me but for all of us involved in the film, I think. And that’s apparent in the final product. I look back on my role and the message of the film with a lot of pride. And your forthcoming films? Well, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam has taken a long time, but there is a refreshing angle to the story. Unlike what everyone thinks, it isn’t a love story but offers new insights into marriage. Shah Rukh plays a husband who cannot express himself. I play an archetypal wife who is oblivious of her husband’s need for romance. Salman is my childhood friend who wants to share everything that goes on in his life and in the bargain oversteps, creates chaos in his friend’s marital life. If a similar situation were to occur in real life would you be able to deal with it? I’d hate to believe that something like that can happen in my life. I’m optimistic by nature and believe that if there is basic trust and confidence in a relationship, if one can communicate, there would be no problems. However, this is a hypothetical question and human beings never know what they can deal with unless faced with a crisis. The same with accomplishments, you never know your true mettle until you’re faced with challenges. Shah Rukh and you exude a special chemistry on screen. How would you describe your relationship with him? We are comfortable as co-stars and there is mutual affection for each other which probably filters in our scenes. He is naughty and I’m watchful of his pranks, but there is a healthy give and take of ideas as well. Acting isn’t about competition but making a scene work. This isn’t possible without camradarie amongst actors. The audience must be able to identiy with what’s happening to the characters on screen. Do filmmakers usually have a convincing theory on why they offer you a particular role? Conscientious directors do because they love their scripts more than anyone else and cannot bear to see anything going wrong with their projection. In certain films, the roles are such that it doesn’t matter who plays which role, in which case when the director offers you a choice, he isn’t being insincere. What was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s explanation in offering you Chandramukhi and not Paro in Devdas? I think Sanjay was very upfront. He said the film had two roles but he’d like me to play Chandramukhi because that’s how he sees me. His explanation being that my knowledge of dancing and abhinaya would be more appropriate for the character. I agreed because I trust his judgement.
nelke: If you had the choice would you have preferred to play Paro? I don’t think so because I’ve played shades of Paro in my earlier films. The only difference being that the character wasn’t set in a period film. In contrast, I’ve never played a courtesan. Chandramukhi’s character has a graph of emotions. In her devotion for the man, she literally transforms from a tawaif to jogan, which I find very attractive. As an individual, which of the two (Paro/Chandramukhi) do you identify with? That’s a tough one to answer but let me try. Paro was ahead of her times, but in today’s context she seems perfectly reasonable. I’m not sure if it is all that easy to love as selflessly as Chandramukhi did. She made too many sacrifices and assumed responsibility for someone who never loved her in return. That can be very daunting and painful. It all sounds so remote and impractical today. So how did you research for a role so far fetched? In this case what helped was the director’s projection of the character. Bhansali views Chandramukhi as an extension of Meera whose love for Krishna remained unrequited till the end. That’s the emotional part. For physical expression, there were the kathak dances, the elaborate costumes and the magnificent sets. It was literally like living off a fantasy. When I walked on to the sets, I actually felt the part. Is there some trick actors resort to when creating characters? Such a formula does not exist. Most of the time actors follow their instinct. Sometimes, the director provides the subtext as in the case of Devdas. The trick, if at all there is one, is to let the real person withdraw and the role take over. The process happens so quietly that no one except the performer notices it. And of course the director. That’s because he is the only one who has seen the film in his head before actually making it. You’ve also sung a song in the film. They are just a few lines and you can hardly call it singing. They call it kavita or chand, still it was a thrilling experience. Now that you are training as a singer would you say singing is easier than acting? I think nothing is easy. Besides, I’m hardly in a position to draw comparisons between the two. I was fortunate to grow up in an atmosphere where I saw my mother sing. Ever since I can remember our home reverberated with ragaas every morning. May be that’s why I’m so appreciative of music, of the purity of Lata Mangeshkar’s voice, of Asha Bhosle’s vivacity and Alka Yagnik’s prolificity Some years ago, you seemed completely detached from your contemporaries. That’s not true. Progress of art in any form is appealing to me. Maybe I didn’t articulate my appreciation. But then I’m not demonstrative by nature. Also, when you are in the limelight, everything you say and do has a risk of being misinterpreted. That’s the price of stardom and as a safety measure, you make it a habit to become discreet. Now I understand why most successful stars are described as reserved. It’s more out of self preservation than temperament. After all these years what are the changes you see in yourself? Those close to me say that I’ve become more talkative now. I feel I’ve become more expressive about my feelings. Perhaps, I was like this in childhood and then changed over the years. I’m not sure. Perhaps, in the last few years I was so busy working that there was never any time for communicating. Anyway, I like my new self so does my family. How has your family adjusted to your flying visits to India? They miss me and I miss them tremendously becuase we are so used to being with each other. We talk a number of times a day and I am always thinking of what they would be doing at a certain time of the day, just as they think of me time and again. But on the whole they are like a retired couple happy that all their children are well-settled. I’m really fortunate to have such special parents. They’ve sacrificed so much for me. My career demanded keeping crazy schedules but they never complained. I can never repay their affection. What about your adjustment in your new home? Have you made friends with the city? Yeh, initially I was scared but if you have the desire and are ready to push yourself to your optimum level, you can do it. I was frightened to drive, to cook but I’ve made friends with the gadgets and their knobs and the alien roads. In fact, now I shop at the local supermarket, carry lunch to my husband at the hospital, browse in the shops, you can say I’m rocking. What finally matters is happiness in personal life and I have found that in my partner and my dwelling place. Bhawana Somaaya

nelke: Interview (Source : www.indya.com) MADHURI DIXIT "Every child wants to be an actor" Madhuri is glowing with good health. Slimmer than she's ever looked, she's in great shape. Her hair's grown long and lustrous and her smile has become even more enigmatic. She looks extremely relaxed on KC Bokadia's sets. Probably the best thing to happen to her was her wedding. Her fans continue to throng the studios for a glimpse of the dhak dhak queen. Clad in a grey silk and net lehenga kurta with heavily embellished silver zardosi, designed by Reza, her hair done up in a sophisticated bouffant with a lock dangling on her cheek, she looks seductive and sexy. Were her work schedules permitting her time with husband Shriram? "I've just returned from a long holiday with him in Florida," she said, her face saying the rest. "I'm not doing so many films now. And there's a decent gap between my schedules that permit me to take off at least a month in the US. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. I also manage more time now with my parents here in Mumbai." She seemed to have worked it all out for herself. "I'm right now working on KC Bokadia's film Hum Aapke Hain Sanam." The film is directed by the South Indian director Adiyaman. It is a remake of his own Tamil film Thotta Chinungi (Touch me not). In the making now for three years, the film also stars Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, Suman Ranganath and Atul Agnihotri. Her other films are Deepak Shivadasani's Yeh Raaste Hain Pyar Ke with Ajay Devgan, and Sunny Deol in a guest appearance, and Bhansali's Devdas with Shah Rukh and Aishwarya. Sanjay Leela Bhansali of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and thirty-five awards fame had always wanted Madhuri as the heroine for every film he made. He finally got the nod from her with Devdas. Was she looking forward to playing Chandramukhi in Devdas? "Hmmmn," she displays just a glimmer of a smile. She is loath to talk to the media yet. "I have not much to say. People still only want to know everything about my marriage and my husband." But I was asking her about her role in Devdas.
nelke: (продолжение) Can't expect human beings to be excited all the time, can I? I decide to sail tepid waters with her. What did she do when she was in the States? That doesn't work with her either. She shrugs her shoulders matter-of-factly: "Oh, I've been going there so many years that I don't end up doing anything particularly new." But marriage had happened to her only in this year, must have made some difference? She smiles: "I did some domestic stuff. We're looking for a house in Florida. In fact, this trip I spent a lot of time house hunting. I've also been working out and exercising a lot because my husband's a health freak." O! How nice, and what else? "I've been spending time with my nieces and nephews. My nephew is four and I really love him, he's my joy," exclaims the doting aunt. Her four-year-old nephew is the apple of her eye. "We were so dumb as kids. Today's kids are too sharp and too aware. Of course, films and television is the largest influence on them. They have independent minds and voice their opinions and choices. Every child from the age of two wants to be an actor or actress and they are actually such good performers." Gawd! That sounds like an epidemic! From there we digress into schooling and right education systems for the right kind of upbringing and the pressures of performance and competition. If what Madhuri claims is right that every child wants to become an actor then it's time we acquainted those poor little things to more options. Sure, there's nothing wrong with acting, but we can't be a nation of only actors can we? "I had a wonderful childhood," Madhuri gushes. "We didn't grow up too fast. Today's kids, I feel, miss out on a large part of childhood. The simple pleasure of going down to play is fast disappearing. Children have almost no physical activity." So, she knows what to do when her kids are born. Send them to play. Laughingly she recalls her nephew's birthday when she had taken him to the store to buy him a gift. She wanted to buy him a SEGA set. "At the store though, he was completely uninterested. He settled for a small dinky car, which I could have bought him anytime. I asked him: "But what about SEGA?" He was not interested. 'I only want this little car,' he said. Kids! Really!" she shook her beautiful head. Was she hooked on to computer games too? "I do surf the net, I like to keep up with technology, though I feel that the net revolution has spoiled our kids for us." However she finds the net to be a tremendous source of information. "But every dot com is the same," the actress opines. 'Dot coms', please lend your ears. Here comes Mrs Nene.
nelke: Interview (Source : www.indiatimes.com) Amidst peals of laughter, actress Madhuri Dixit discusses movies and marital bliss. What is more exciting these days? Being an actress or a wife? I dont know, I think both are really exciting. Because now I have a life. (laughs) And I also have a profession. Thats great. Does the film industry look at you differently at Mrs Madhuri Dixit-Nene? Not really. I guess probably I wont get and I didnt for a long time get that kind of roles where you run around trees and behave like a teenage girl. I guess I wont get a film like Dil. I am past that. Also because I have evolved as an actress. I am looking for better roles, different things to do. But I guess I have to be more careful with the way I schedule my films. I have to divide time between US and here. So how do you divide your time now? Well, I am trying to be here and there as well. So for the past few months I have been in Mumbai, shooting for my films. In a few days time I will take off and go to the US. To be with my husband for a few months. Then I will come back again and start shooting. By the way, theres been too many things written about Devdas about how I didnt like one of the costumes. Well, nothing like that happened. Things are going smoothly with Devdas. The only reason why I am finishing Devdas before I go abroad is because by the time I come back, it will be monsoon and the rain will spoil the sets. So when I come back, only the indoor work will be left. Hey, werent you and Ajay Jadeja supposed to do a film together? Yeah, but the whole thing got shelved. And considering you were spotted at his wedding, whose side did you represent? The groom or the bride? The grooms side, obviously. (laughs) But has your marriage kind of limited the kind of roles being offered to you? Like you said, you cant do a Dil anymore. Not really. Dil is not the only kind of role that there is in this world. There are many others. Like when I did Gaja Gamini, I thought it was an experimental film very different. Lets see what I do next. (laughs) But people wonder whether one of these days you will take off permanently to the US and settle down with your hubby. Of course, eventually thats going to happen. And everybody knows that. But when it will happen is something still to be decided... In the near future? No, not in the near future. (laughs) Has Dr Nene seen any of your films? To tell you the truth, none. I showed him the songs of Pukar. And hes seen a little bit of Gaja Gamini in its rough-cut stage. And how did he react? Gaja Gamini, of course, was a very abstract film. So he was like, What is this? Whos Shakuntala? With Pukar, it was a song routine, and he is not used to seeing songs in films out there. So for him, it was like, How can there be songs? So I had to remind him of the Hollywood musicals on TNT and tell him that we still make musicals. So watch it as you watch a musical. That put things in a perspective for him. Was he shocked to see you do all those jhatkas? Not shocked. But he found it amusing. (laughs) So he would say, I know you, I dont need to see all this. But is it annoying when media attention is focused on your waistline and everybody wants to know whether you are pregnant or not? I know I have been two months pregnant for the past seven months! (laughs) That shows how much sense people have. I think they should let things be. Things will happen when they have to happen. You cant make it happen. In a rush to print that Oh we were the first one to say, they are jumping the gun. Like one newspaper even got my divorce happening. I guess when you are married, they should leave you alone. I remember you saying something once about how its exciting to cook for your husband Its great fun. Because until now I have been only doing it in the movies. (laughs) So did you learn cooking after marriage or you already were good at it? Oh, its all experimentation! (laughs) And he copes with it, right? Oh, yeah, he copes with it. (laughs uproariously) So far, at least! Hes training to be a heart surgeon. As for my knowledge, well, I have seen what they call harvesting. What they do is, when the donor dies, they receive his heart. So I have seen that whole operation. How they take the heart out and transplant it to a person who needs a heart. I have been with him on that... Was that unnerving? Initially, yes. Before I entered the operation theatre, I thought they will have another patient on hand. Because I thought I would look at it and faint. (laughs) But I guess because I am a science student myself, I found it very fascinating. It also gave me a perspective on what kind of life they lead. Its very stressful. Because when you go into an operation theatre, there is no take two. They cant say, Sorry, I cut the wrong thing, can we do it again? The patients life is in their hands. So I was like, My God, here I was thinking my life is too stressful... Want a desi version of this movie! We couldnt help reminding Madhuri that somebody should remake My Best Friends Wedding with her in the role played by Julia Roberts. Any takers?
nelke: MADHURI DIXIT "I'm very lucky to have married Ram." (Source : www.indya.com) Madhuri Dixit looks even more gorgeous as Mrs Nene. Tight fitting jeans and flowing tresses, she has me transfixed at the door of her Iris Park apartment when I go to meet her for this interview. She's lost all those extra pounds, her million dollar face gleams with joy and her tinkling laughter reverberates through the house. "How do you expect me not to lose weight?" She flashes her famous smile. "On our honeymoon itself my husband Ram was teaching how to do abdominal crunches. He's a health freak. Whenever Ram gets a holiday we spend it on some outdoor sports. We generally go cycling, trekking up in the mountains, or snorkeling. I've even attempted a skiing trip with him. The fact that I fell down umpteen times and made an utter fool of myself is another story. But it was great fun because I was not conscious of the fact ke mujhe koi dekh raha hai or that I'm Madhuri Dixit. I found it hard, initially to lose my inhibitions. I just couldn't get up and go for a walk with Ram. I was not used to any freedom of action back in India or even abroad. But once I overcame that, I had a ball." What's a typical day in the life of Mrs Nene? That is, when you are with your husband in America, in your house. Well, Mrs Nene gets up at five in the morning. Ram has to be at work by 6 o'clock, so my day begins early. I like to give him his morning cup of tea, not that he is a tea lover. In fact before we met, he never had tea but I'm very much a chai person. Ram still has only black tea. Next, I make breakfast for him, a normal fare of eggs and toast. After which he goes to work and I promptly go back to sleep. By mid-morning I would have finished cleaning the house. I love to sweep, swab, do the dishes and hoover the place. Since I have the whole morning to myself, I go grocery shopping to the malls and try to have a meal ready for Ram when he gets back from work. We have an early dinner as Ram is really hungry after a long day, then the rest of the evening is ours. We chat, since there is so much to know about one another. At other times Ram plays the guitar and he is really good at it so the evening is touched by sheer magic. Have there been any major goof-ups vis-а-vis your cooking? Oh yes! Major ones! See I'm no cook. I know that and I think Ram knows that by now too. Initially I managed it to the extent of making bed-tea and breakfast. That's easy. Even making dal chawal was not that difficult. But one day I got a bit carried away and tried my hand at prawn curry. I put the prawns in first and main unko bhunti rahi, during dinner when Ram put them in his mouth they were like chewing gum. The curry was horrible too. But Ram was a great sport and didn't mind it; he just laughed his guts out. Since then, I've been relegated to a junior position in the kitchen. Ram, who is an exceptional cook, now teaches me the fine art of cooking. As for me I refrain from any more adventures with my culinary skills. Even when I'm alone, I make do with a sandwich. Waise bhi ek aadmi ke liye kaun baneyga. Being a doctor, his working hours must be erratic? When he is not on call, he is at home in the evenings. But there are times when he stays back at the hospital and doesn't come home in the night too. The first time it happened, I was very scared. I've never slept alone at night in my life. My mom or my dad have always been with me. This was the first time for me. So I kept my bedroom lights switched on for the whole night. Over and above that I snuggled Ram's two pet cats into my razai and only then I could sleep. What about kids? Are you planning a family? Not right now. It's not possible because of my commitments. It would be unfair on my part if any producer suffered on my account. In my entire career I've never let my producers down. I see no reason for it to happen now. I'll have to figure out a work plan before I decide to get pregnant. Will that mean an end to your career and a farewell to the Film Industry? That's a decision that Ram has left entirely to me. One of us will have to be home when we have kids so I guess it will have to be me since Ram is so busy himself. In any case I'd want to be with my children. Moreover it will have to be a very exceptional film or a role for me to even consider doing. Let's see what happens in the future. What about your in-laws, are they OK about you continuing to work? I'm very blessed you know to be married into a wonderful family. They are a small unit of four and now I'm the fifth. Ram's the only son. I have a sister-in-law, who is highly educated and a well-placed professional. Each person is into his own thing without interfering in the other's life. There are no restrictions, no untoward expectations of me as the bahu of the house. I wear anything from a pair of shorts to a traditional saree. I love wearing a mangal sutra and sindhoor in my maang, in fact my mother-in-law was very surprised at it. They all have the right mix of Indian values and the western culture. They really have no idea about the Indian Film Industry or my so-called stardom. They are simple people for whom I'm a professional actress. Period. In fact my father-in-law has started showing curiosity now. He surfs the net for any information on me and lets me know about it. My mother-in-law on the other hand told Ram very sweetly that I was a very good dancer and he should watch my movies. She strongly recommended my song Que sera sera from Pukar. Promptly a DVD was brought home and everyone watched it together. Ram of course got impatient halfway, because he fails to understand why we actors sing so many songs in our films. When I compare them to the old Hollywood musicals, he just laughs and is not convinced. Do you think the differences in upbringing and background or even professions works well for your marriage? I think the reason we are so perfectly matched is because of the different worlds we come from. In my work area there is always room for a second take but these guys are not allowed a take-two. It's a job full of responsibility and I respect Ram for that. In fact I've accompanied him for what is termed as a 'Harvest Run' in medical parlance. It's when someone dies and his body organs are transplanted into another needy person. The whole process has to be finished in a time span of four hours. The emergency signals start flashing and the choppers hover above you to airlift the team of doctors. Everyone starts getting ready shouting instructions at one another while they put on their coats and collect the equipment to get into the ambulance. In the midst of all this, I was with Ram. I saw the whole thing, the patient, the beating heart-organ, which believe me doesn't look anything like the ones we draw or see in the comic books and strewn dead bodies and blood all over the place. I thought I'd faint, but I stuck on. It was the most humbling experience of my life. I marvel at the precision with which the whole task was completed. I think most of Ram's personality stems from his professional ethics. He sees people as real, he respects and values life and thus is an emotionally responsible person. Believe me, I'm very lucky to have him. A perfect co-star if I may add. Couldn't have asked for more in my life.
wichy: nelke Спасибочки огромное за интервью. Мне почему-то кажется, что брак Мадхури - классический индийский, вероятнее всего, его устроили, но сейчас в нем любовь и согласие - по крайней мере, мне кажется, она достаточно умная женщина, чтобы сделать его таким.
Lo: wichy пишет: Мне почему-то кажется, что брак Мадхури - классический индийский, вероятнее всего, его устроили, А я читала, что они чуть бы ни в супермаркете каком-то познакомились в америке... И он совершенно не знал, кто она такая, потому что очень американезированный инд. парень, и даже инд. фильмы не смотрел..
nelke: wichy не знаю, как на счет "устроили" , но вот с этим согласна на все 100: wichy пишет: но сейчас в нем любовь и согласие - по крайней мере, мне кажется, она достаточно умная женщина, чтобы сделать его таким
wichy: Lo пишет: А я читала, что они чуть бы ни в супермаркете каком-то познакомились в америке. Абалдеть.. во прикол, если это на самом деле так и было. Очень романтично. Да уж, встретить так Мадхури в супермаркете... мож себе в Америку рвануть, мож у них там Аджаи и Аби в супермаркетах ходят....
Lo: wichy Всяко ходят... Рани в интервью, после съемок в КАNK, говорила, как хорошо она проводила время в америке, мотаясь по магазинам в одиночестве..
wichy: Lo пишет: Рани в интервью, после съемок в КАNK, говорила, как хорошо она проводила время в америке, мотаясь по магазинам в одиночестве.. Да уж, представляю, какой это кайфец... Но думаю, мальчики больше по ночным клубам... Там их и надо ловить.
nelke: Еще одно интервью нарыла, там вроде намекают, что брат Мадхури был знаком с Рамом, такшта может и намудрили чего со знакомством в стиле индийской семьи I am very happy! Films had made her into an icon... But once husband dearest came along, Madhuri knew that her career would have to take a back seat… First to hubby and then home. A tete-a-tete with the still mesmerizing Mrs. Nene… She’s down from the States, Florida to be precise, to do a final photo-session with cameraman, Ashok Salain, for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s, Devdas. And she’s glowing. In fact, she’s looking slim and sensational. Compliment her and you get a giggle and then… “I’ve never been very comfortable receiving compliments. Right through my career. I was more receptive towards people who told me off, rather than being issued praises! It’s funny really, but I just can’t help it. Compliments embarrass the hell out of me!” But marriage and Mr. Nene seems to have complimeted her really well. Apart from glowing, Madhuri looks more relaxed and alive. Q : Has she really found her soulmate? “I find my husband and myself have a lot of things in common,” she begins with that 100 watt smile. “He’s easy-going by nature, he’s not hassled by life and he hates being restricted within a four wall setup! He loves the outdoors. Moreover, he’s a very patient and kind human being. It’s a quality I admire most in whoever I meet. Q : “He also, doesn’t force his opinion on you or argue in trying to convince you that he’s right in a debate. He has a basic respect for women and that’s quite fascinating for me to see, as his wife.” Q : What’s the trait he likes about you? “I really can’t answer that, because he’s never voiced anything in that respect. It’s just that he’s very appreciative about how I run his home. So you see, being a wife isn’t all that thankless as far as I’m concerned.” Q : You mean keeping home, hearth and heart… “Yes, in that order as well,” laughs Madhuri… “By doing a successful job on his home and his hearth, I know that his heart is there as well.” Q : What’s the one thing you despised about your marriage? When she answers, Madhuri can hardly keep the sting out of her voice … “I found it in very bad taste when the media called him Mr. Dixit . When they weren’t doing that, they kept making snide remarks about our surname. That’s really such a tacky thing to do. “They also made him appear as though he was some awe-struck fan, but that was furtherest from the truth. My husband had really never seen any of my films, so I made sure he saw Mrityudand. I was very excited about his opinion of me in the film. And do you know what? He didn’t like the film or me! So much for him being a fan of mine!” Madhuri can also never forget how the very same media would take pot-shots at her personal life, everytime she took a holiday to the States. “I genuinely have a brother and sister in the States and I really enjoy doing nothing there and getting pampered. But the Press couldn’t digest that. They were adamant on creating a love interest for me somehow. So it was made to out to be that I was seeing a computer scientist, when all along, people had seen me with my brother, Ajit. In fact, he was extremely amused about being called a computer scientist, only because there is no such thing as a computer scientist!” Q : But isn’t it a fact, that during her more recent visits to America, she had met her husband Sriram? “ Yes he was a friend of my brothers, but he wasn’t the reason why I went there. It was always my family who I had been seeing for a number of years, much before my husband had even met my brother.” Q : But you didn’t you always want to settle down with a person from a medical profession? “ I just wanted to settle down with someone who was kind, caring, shared similar interest and was intelligent. It didn’t matter what he was apart from the fact that he also needed to be self-sufficient. I’m lucky I got just the person I wanted.” Q : How does he take to your continuing to be an actress and working after your marriage? “I haven’t married someone who is from the dark ages you know? My husband is a very today person, who sees no harm in his wife pursuing a career of her choice. He has never asked me to quit or do any such ridiculous thing! It has been my decision to cut down on my work, thereby I’ll be able to concentrate on both my home and my career and do ample justice to each of them!” Q : What are the films that she was working in? “ Well, there’s K.C.Bokadia’s next and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lajja… And then, there’s Devdas. I’m really excited about all these films,” she gushes and changes the trend of thought immediately… “You know something, I’m just so happy and lucky have someone who is understanding and encouraging enough to accept a wife who he knows enjoys being an actress. It only stems from the fact that he is so secure himself, as a person, that these things don’t affect him at all.” That’s Mrs Madhuri Nene today. Content and complete. “Complete as a wife, but not as an actress,”she butts in… “I would still love to do a really powerful role like the one Nargisji did in Mother India.” Q : What about children? Wouldn’t that complete the wife and woman in her? “To borrow a favourite phrase of my husbands,” she laughs… “All in good time my friend, all in good time!” отсюда

Акмарал: Soniya пишет: а брак Мадхури совершенно точно был arranged - про это много писали ,что-такое arranged? Думается,что знакомство.Помню поражалась тому,что ее муж не знал ,и что она та от которой фанатеет вся Индия,то есть актриса №1.И за всю жизнь он видел один инд фильм Амар,Акбар,Антони, да уж патриот.Даже сейчас Мадхури с трудом уговаривает его смотреть ее фильмы,кажись он осилил лишь "Девдас". Видно инд.фильмы считает глупыми и не желает тратить свое драгоценное время,зато как я поняла из статей все свободное время посвящают,спорту,отдыху на природе и даже вроде,как экстримальному. . До сих пор удивляюсь неужели Мадхури , будучи достаточно самодостаточной не смогла выбать мужа по любви,то есть не было у них роматики и любви с первого взгляда,судя по тому ,что рассказывали. И даже романов серьезных кажись у нее не было,хотя дожила до 33 лет (в этом возрасте она вышла замуж?). А вообще Мадхури ,как и многим здесь,мне очень нравится особенно ранняя,,то есть в фильмах 88-90годов,очень красивая!!!

May 15, 2006 11:36 IST Bollywood's greatest female superstar of all time celebrates her birthday today, May 15. Madhuri Dixit took the Indian heroine to new heights. Dancer, actress, icon, muse -- She has been all that and more to audiences around the world.
Акмарал: Да,ДА помним! Поздравим ее с днем рождения и от всей души пожелаем ей семейного женского счастья.Пусть все у нее ,как всю ее жизнь будет на отлично! Ах да насчет Санджая говорили,что он сох по ней,но вроде тогда он был женат и она отвергла ее ухаживания
Soniya: Акмарал пишет: но вроде тогда он был женат и она отвергла ее ухаживания не совсем так. он был уже не слишком женат - его жена давным давно жила в США, он в Индии, их брак практически распался к тому времени. испугало Мадхури на самом деле то, что жена его была больна, и она не просто отнимала у жены мужа в равной борьбе, а отнимала мужа у умирающей женщины. роман совершенно точно был. просто достаточно быстро завял, особенно после обращения Stardust с открытым письмом к Мадхури.
Акмарал: Soniya пишет: Stardust с открытым письмом к Мадхури. Что за письмо ,так интересно? Можно как нить выложить или рассказать . Я помнится этак в годах 92-93 читала в узбекском журнале Фильм С,про то, то ,что жена его болеет,(кстати и фотки ее были ,она ничо симпатичная была).И про Мадхури упоминали ну так ни в открытую.А вообще да писалось, что он с женой вроде,как раздельно живет, вспомнила ее кажись Рича звали. В целом я так и поняла,что он за Мадхури бегал,а она так и не ответила ему взаимностью.А вообще Санджай вроде,как бабником слыл,он и с Тиной Муним вроде роман крутил.Интересно , а с кем он сейчас?.Помню была у него одна,которая передачки в тюрьму носила,ну вроде он с ней порвал,или нет?.
Нино-МучаЧА: Мадхури родилась 15 мая 1968 года в Бомбее (Мумбае), штат Махараштра. Ее рост составляет 162 см, вес - 50 кг. По складу характера - интроверт, по знаку зодиака - Телец. Ее настоящее имя - Мадхури Шанкар Диксит, но для родителей и друзей она - Бабли. Младшая из четырех детей. Ее брат Аджит Диксит живет в Чикаго и занимается исследованиями в области физики. Обе старшие сестры также живут в США. Одна из них, Бхарти Адкар, живет и работает в Сан-Франциско, другая, Рупа,- в городе Рестон. Из рассказов Мадхури о себе: - Я очень люблю моих родителей, брата, сестер, племянниц и племянников. Больше всего я боюсь потерять любимых людей. В них моя сила и мое спасение... Я ненавижу тараканов. Я суеверна, особенно относительно ходьбы под лестницей. Меня может растрогать музыка, если она мягкая и сентиментальная. Животные - это моя слабость. Не могу спокойно смотреть на то, когда кто-то причиняет им боль... Мое самое дорогое богатство - мои воспоминания и письма моих поклонников. Интервью же может утомить меня, особенно если их несколько подряд... Что трогает меня больше всего? Моя одежда (смеется). Если меня спросят о том, в чем кроется моя привлекательность, я отвечу, что нужно спросить об этом у зрителей... Из своих самых диких фантазий назову ту, где я танцую чечетку с Джен Келли. Мой герой это Бог! Я довольно спокойный человек. Мои самые большие плюсы - мои глаза и улыбка. Моя страсть - киносъемки. Моя большая потребность - чистые ванные комнаты!... На диете ли я? Мой танец не дает мне сидеть на диете. Но моей слабостью по-прежнему остается шоколад, хотя теперь это еще и желание, т.к. я перестала потреблять его... Пожалуй, у меня есть навзчивая идея, это мои фильмы и моя работа. Воспоминание, которое не оставляет меня - мой первый фильм "Abodh"... Мои сны всегда приятны, нет никаких кошмаров... Мужчина моей мечты - сэр Уинстон Черчилль (основные черты - оратор, воин). Идеальная женщина - Индира Ганди (основные черты - власть, остроумие, достоинство)... Наиболее возмутительный выпад, сделанный в отношении меня? Никто еще не осмелился! Но я иногда вспоминаю тех, кто раньше отзывался обо мне плохо, Минакши Сешадри например... Любимое времяпровождение: музыка во всех видах - кассеты, компакт-диски... Люблю ли я шутить? Да, люблю. У меня есть очень похожая на настоящую резиновая копия змеи. Все страшно пугаются, когда я бросаю ее на кого-то... Семья и наш семейный бизнес? Наша семья в течении нескольких поколений занималась изготовлением электротепловых машин, а за последние поколения мы освоили и электронные механизмы - от духовок до пультов управления... Любимый курорт? Такого нет, я все еще нахожусь в поиске этого экзотического места... Я восхищаюсь прямыми открытыми людьми, которые могут найти подход к каждому человеку... О самом близком друге я ничего не скажу, если я назову его имя, это раскроет тайну... Лучший комплимент в моей жизни тот, когда М.Ф. Хуссаин написал мой портрет... Люблю всех животных, особенно кошек... Меня часто спрашивают, до какого момента я буду сниматься. Отвечаю - до того дня, пока сама не решу уйти... Самый печальный момент в моей жизни - когда умер наш любимый кот Сона. Он прожил с нами 15 лет... Мои музыкальные предпочтения: Западные группы Uriah Heep, Saymon и Garfunkel. В Индии все от Кишора Кумара до Бхимсена Джоши. Любимые индийские актеры: Балрадж Сахани, Дилип Кумар и Кишор Кумар. Любимый иностранный актер: Григори Пек Любимые индийские актрисы: Наргис, Мадхубала, Мина Кумари, Мумтаз и Шабана Азми Любимая иностранная актриса: Ингрид Бергман
JULI@: wichy пишет: она одна из ярчайших звезд на небосклоне Болливуда Это точно! Мадху талантливейшая актриса! Она поражает глубокой игрой и правдивостью чувств! Для меня это актриса с большой буквы! Она может сыграть любую роль блестяще! Мадху прекрасно исполняет классический индийский танец, чем была восхищена очаровательная Хема! Надеюсь, что в ближайшее время она вернётся в индустрию и удивит нас своей вдохновенной игрой!
cat: Я согласна с wichy иJULI@ Мадхури великолепно играет!!! Она очень талантлива, очень пластична и грациозна!
Персик: Одна из моих самых любимых актрис. Невероятно женственная, красивая, нежная, глубокая... Велтколепная актриса, непревзойдённая танцовщица... Я влюбилась в неё с первого танца и до сих пор замираю, наблюдая, как она танцует...
wichy: Не помню, куда скидывала инфо, что Мадхури вроде как прочат на роль в фильме Шаджи Каруна "Сурьямукхи" - про известного художника Раджа Рави Варму. Вроде она должна была его модель играть. А художника - Аджай. Так вот, Мадхури в проекте не будет - вроде был базар, что там с обнаженкой, потом вроде роль Шри предлагали, в конце концов остановились на Видье Балан - официально Мадхури отказалась сниматься до апреля 2007 г. Неофициально - бюджет фильма маловат для ее гонорара, а Видья, ясно дело, просит меньше. На мужскую роль - Аджай тож отказался. Так что пока Мадхури мы не увидим
wichy: Еще одна статейка о возвращении Мадхури Madhuri makes a comeback again! REDIFF September 01, 2006 More industry tales from our behind-the-scenes reporter: Where is Madhuri? As far as we know, Madhuri Dixit is babysitting her two children in Colorado in the US. She rarely makes a public appearance but it's amusing to see that the media is more interested in bringing her back into limelight than the actress herself. The latest: Madhuri is going to make a comeback in a film with Shah Rukh Khan, to be produced by Yash Raj Films. Earlier, we heard that she was going to be Raja Ravi Varma's muse in Ketan Mehta's film. But that fell through. It's surprising that Madhuri can still make so much news even though she doesn't live in the same country, and was last seen in a movie in 2002. Maybe Mads should start a blog on her whereabouts and film committments. Вкратце - сейчас Мадхури сидит с двумя детишками в Колорадо, возвращение ее намечено на совместный проект с Шахом под баннером Yash Raj Films. Но опять же, это вполне может быть лишь слухами, похоже, Мадхури не особо спешит вернуться в кинематограф.
wichy: Снова слухи о возвращении дивы (когда же, ну когда они из слухов превратятся в реальность...) отсюда -->> Madhuri Dixit to make a comeback in Bollywood MUMBAI, India (AP) - Former leading lady Madhuri Dixit is planning a Bollywood comeback, the actress said in a newspaper interview, but she gave no details of her plans. Dixit told the Times of India newspaper in an interview published Tuesday that she would play a role in a new film to be produced by her business manager, Rikku Rakeshnath. One of Bollywood's most sought-after stars in the 1990s, Dixit gradually stopped taking on roles after marrying a U.S.-based Indian surgeon in 1999. Her last hit movie, released in 2002, was "Devdas,'' in which she played a courtesan in a saga of doomed love. "If I'm going to be away from my family for my film, it better be worthwhile,'' said Dixit, 39, who has two young sons. Rakeshnath said he would start work on the film soon. "It was on Madhuri's insistence that I decided to start my own production house,'' he said. "Madhuri will be acting in one of the films I plan to start shortly.''- AP В интервью Times of India Мадхури сказала, что сыграет роль в фильме, который будет продюсировать ее бизнес-менеджер, Рикку Ракешнат. Тот говорит, что скоро приступит к работе над фильмом. "Именно по настоянию Мадхури я решил основать свою собственную продюсерскую компанию" - Мадхури будет играть в одном из фильмов, которые я вскоре планирую начать снимать".
wichy: отсюда Похоже, Мадхури наконец-то подписалась на фильм: Madhuri to make comeback in Yashraj Films By IndiaFM News Bureau, October 17, 2006 - 07:00 IST The cat is out of the bag. Madhuri is finally making a comeback in films. And come back in a grand style. She is doing a film with India’s premier film production house, Yashraj Films. The film is to be directed to by ace cinematographer Anil Mehta. Apparently, Madhuri loved the script so much that she could not resist the offer to the film. Rumors of her doing Rikku Rakeshnath’s film first have been put to rest by her signing Yashraj’s film. The lead actor of the film is yet to be decided but going by Yashraj’s track record, we can expect a superstar to be signed very soon. The film promises to be an out and out entertainer. The shooting of the film commences in January 2007. Madhuri is expected to come to India very soon. Even though being offered so many films, Madhuri cannot do so many films as she has to take care of here babies who are still very young. Welcome back Madhuri. Вкратце - дива возвращается, и возвращение планиуруется грандиозное - она собирается делать фильм с Яшрадж. Режиссером будет известный кинооператор Анил Мехта (снимал Veer Zaara, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Lagaan, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Khamoshi The Musical). Мадхури так понравился сценарий, что она не смогла отказать. Актер на главную роль пока не утвержден, но наверняка это будет суперзвезда. Съемки начнутся в январе 2007, Мадхури скоро собирается в индию. Ей предлагают много фильмов, но она пока не может плотно этим заниматься. поскольку нужно заботиться о детях, которые еще маленькие.
wichy: И это снова я и снова с новостью о возвращении моей любимой Мадхури... отсюда Madhuri Dixit last set hearts afire in Devdas, never to return, many thought. But with kids in tow and with the support of NRI doctor-husband Sriram Nene, Madhuri will now make her comeback in a Yash Raj film, which goes on the floors in January 2007. You are to return in a Yash Raj film project. Why this film? Yes, my comeback film has a bit of everything in it. I felt this would be the right film to do after a long break. I’ve worked with Yash Raj before, and they know me so well. They know I’d never cause unnecessary delays. More importantly, Yash ji has worked wonderfully well with married actresses before. Whether it’s Raakhee ji in Kabhi Kabhie or Waheeda ji , or Kajol in Fanaa , he’s sensitive to the schedules of an actor who’s a wife and a mother. I feel comfortable with them. What was your husband's reaction? He’s fully supportive of whatever I do. He feels that one’s talent shouldn't be suppressed. When I decided not to work and have kids, he was all for it. When I opted to do Devdas , he was still supportive. And now he’s with me all the way. How will you divide time between the US and Mumbai? It will only be one film a year or two, depending on schedules. For now, this seems fun. Are you nervous about taking away from the kids’ time? I’m extremely nervous about that. But there comes a time in a woman’s life when she needs to think of a world outside her home. Many women work and manage a career. My children are the most important part of my life. But they are growing and need to be a little independent. Also, my shooting in India will give the kids a chance to get in touch with their roots. They'll be with my family, they'll meet their cousins. I think they'll have fun. Did you miss films? I don't miss the adulation or the glamour. What I missed was being in front of a camera and assuming various characters. When do you start shooting? Sometime in January 2007, and we’ll be done in 3-4 months. Any apprehensions about how much cinema has changed since you last showed up? I’ve heard the change is for the better. Everyone's more disciplined. That makes things easier for me. I'd be able to work better. To be a part of this phase when so much is happening is itself so challenging. Перевод коротко: Последняя съемка была в Девдасе, предполагалось, что она не вернется, но при поддержке мужа и после того, как дети чуть выросли, Мадхури решила сняться в новом фильме Яш Радж, съемки которого начнутся в Январе 2007. Интервью: Вы решили вернуться в фильме Яш Радж. Почему именно этот фильм? Ну, в нем есть всего понемногу. Думаю, это будет правильным послед долгого перерыва. Я раньше работала с баннером Яш Радж, и они меня хорошо знают. Знают, что я никогда не доставляю проблем с отсрочкой съемок. Что еще более важно, Яш-джи и раньше отлично работал с замужними актрисами. Будь то Ракхи в Kabhi Kabhie или Вахида, или Каджол в Fanaa, он очень осторожен с расписанием съемок актрис-жен и матерей. Мне с ними комфортно. Какова была реакция вашего мужа? Он целиком меня поддерживает во всем. Он считает, что талант нельзя подавлять. Если я решила не работать и заниматься детьми, он был целиком за. Когда я решила сняться в Девдас, он снова поддержал меня. И теперь он снова на моей стороне. Как вы делите время между США и Мумбаи? Это будет один фильм в год, или два, зависит от расписания съемок. Сейчас это кажется развлечением. Вы будете переживать, что дети далеко? Я ужасно об этом переживаю. Но в жизни женщины всегда наступает время, когда ей нужно подумать о мире вне дома. многие женщины работают и делают карьеру. Мои дети - самое важное в моей жизни. Но они растут и нуждаются в независимости. К тому же мои съемки в Индии дадут детям шанс прикоснуться к корням. Они будут со своей семьей, встретсятся с двоюродными братьями и сестрами. Думаю, им понравится. Вы скучаете по съемкам? Я не скучаю по роскоши и славе. Я скучаю по процессу съемок и воплощению разных персонажей. Когда вы начнете сниматься? Где-то в Январе, и мы управимся за 3-4 месяца. Насколько сильно мир кино изменился за ваше отсутствие? Думаю, эти изменения к лучшему. Все стали более дисциплинированными. Мне так легче. Я смогу работать лучше. Участвовать именно в этом периоде, когда столько всего происходит, настолько интересно
wichy: Снова про возвращение Мадхури: отсюда Madhuri to play theatre actress Dixit to appear in a never-before role in her comeback film Subhash K Jha Centre stage: Madhuri Dixit Madhuri Dixit, it seems, has a dream role in cinematographer Anil Mehta’s directorial debut. “Madhuri has a dream role in the film,” says a member of the film’s crew. “It’s her story all the way. The other actors are important but supportive. Madhuri plays a theatre actress. It’s her character’s 10-year-old journey that forms the crux of the film.” Although she has played a member of a dance troupe in Yashraj Films’ Dil To Pagal Hai, Madhuri has never played a role of a theatre actress before. In fact Mehta’s film would be the first since Gulzar’s unreleased Libaas to be set in the theatre world. Laying to rest rumours about a rift between Ranvir Shorey and Konkona, the duo will be part of Madhuri’s theatre group, while Anupam Kher will play Madhuri’s mentor. Apparently Kunal Kapoor has also been approached for a role. Rumours of Mehta’s movie being traced to the Susan Sarandon-Julia Roberts tear jerker Stepmom have been doing the rounds. “The story is an original and has nothing to do with the Hollywood film. Madhuri won’t do a Hollywood remake at this stage of her career,” the source adds. Если коротко - в новом фильме режиссера-дебютанта, но маститого оператора Анила Мехты у Мадхури будет сказочная роль. Весь фильм построен только на ее персонаже, другие актеры - важны, но они на второстепенных ролях. Мадхури играет театральную актрису, ее персонаж показан в течение 10 лет. Ничего подобного она раньше не играла, да и вообще - этот фильм один из первых, касающихся мира театра. Также говорят в фильме будут участвовать Анупам Кхер, Кунал Капур, Конкона и Ранвир Шорей. Слухи о том, что фильм Мехты - ремейк картины с участием Сюзан Сарандон-Джулией Робертс Stepmom не подтвердились, утверждают, что история оригинальная и ни в чем не похожа на голливудский фильм. Мадхури не станет делать ремейк на этой ступени карьеры - утверждают источники.

wichy: Свеженькое интервью с Мадхури - отсюда A mother of two now, Madhuri Dixit is excited at the prospect of returning to the silver screen after five years and says she chose Yash Chopra's banner for the occasion because she is comfortable with them. 'Yash-ji has worked wonderfully well with married actresses before. Whether it's Raakhee-ji-Waheeda-ji in 'Kabhi Kabhie' or Kajol in 'Fanaa', he's aware and sensitive to the schedules and needs of an actress who is a wife and a mother,' Madhuri told IANS in an interview. Cinematographer Anil Mehta will direct Madhuri's comeback vehicle. 'My comeback film has a bit of everything in it. Hopefully, it will be something that people will like to see me back in.' Madhuri, who has decided not to do more than two films a year, is not apprehensive about changes in the industry. 'I've heard the change is for the better. Everyone's more disciplined. That makes things easier for me. I'd be able to work better. To be a part of this phase, when so much is happening, is a challenging thought.' The film is expected to go on the floors in January. Excerpts: Everyone is truly excited about your return in a Yash Raj Films' project? Yes, my comeback film has a bit of everything in it. Hopefully, it will be something that people will like to see me back in. Why is cinematographer Anil Mehta directing it? Firstly, when they narrated the script to me I was deeply excited. I felt this would be the right film to do after a long break. The way the story is written is quite interesting. I've worked with Yash Raj Films before and they know me so well. They know I'd never cause unnecessary delays. More importantly, Yash-ji has worked wonderfully well with married actresses before. Whether it's Raakhee-ji-Waheeda-ji in 'Kabhi Kabhie' or Kajol in 'Fanaa', he's aware and sensitive to the schedules and needs of an actress who's a wife and a mother. Things may be a little out of the timetable once in a while. And I feel comfortable with them. What was your husband's reaction to your decision to return to movies? He's fully supportive of whatever I do. He feels I should have no regrets in life. He feels one's talent shouldn't be suppressed. Any nervousness about taking away from your kids' time? I'm extremely nervous. But there comes a time in a woman's life when she needs to think of a world outside her home. There're so many women all over the world who work and manage a career. My children are the most important part of my life. But they are growing and need to be a little independent. Also, my shooting in India will give the kids a chance to get in touch with their roots, to be in the country of their origins. They'll be with my family and they'll meet with their cousins. I think they'll have fun. How much time can you give to acting? Well, once my two kids start going to school they won't be able to travel with me to India. Therefore, I thought this would be a good opportunity. I wasn't desperate to get back to work. But I've worked for so many years that it's become inbred in me. So, the thought of returning does excite me. Everyone missed you after your last film 'Devdas'. Did you miss films? I don't miss the adulation or the glamour, though it's great to know people still miss me. What I missed was being in front of a camera and assuming various characters. Yeah, I missed that. I'm glad to have that back. Of course, those five years away from the camera have been very, very rewarding. I always wanted children and a family. It was a big part of my dream. I thoroughly enjoyed that whole phase. Now, that the kids are growing up, I can take a little time off for myself. How old are the kids? The older one is four-and-a-half-years-old and the younger is one-and-a-half-years-old. And there's no question of leaving them behind in the US. I can't imagine my life without them. They'll come with me to Mumbai. Looking back at your truckload of blockbusters, are you satisfied? Ask any actor, they'll tell you they've a long way to go. To be satisfied with what you've done isn't the way to move ahead. There's always something better around the corner. When do you start shooting? Sometime in January 2007. And we'll be done in three-four months. Then it's the return of Madhuri Dixit? I'm doing this without any thought for the repercussions. I just want to enjoy the feeling of facing the camera. Any apprehensions about how much cinema has changed since you last showed up? I've heard the change is for the better. Everyone's more disciplined. That makes things easier for me. I'd be able to work better. To be a part of this phase, when so much is happening, is a challenging thought. Any more projects? Right now I'll just focus on this project, test the waters and see how the audience and I react. This film will give me the confidence to make further career decisions. Have you met up with your director Anil Mehta as yet? No I haven't. But I'm very familiar with his work as a cinematographer. In fact, when I had to do my ad films for Himami, I had asked for him. But he was very busy. We just have to see what happens.
wichy: Фотки Мадхури с утренней пробежки взято отсюда Сейчас она вплотную занимается своей физической формой, чтобы быть в форме к съемкам. Ужо похудела сильно - по сравнению с фильмфэр того года. Уры!!!! Может, и правда, в чем стоящем снимется :-)

nelke: У Мадхури состоялся первый день съемок, на котором присутствовали оба дитяти Madhuri can act while Chopras take care of her kids By IndiaFM News Bureau, January 17, 2007 - 06:48 IST Madhuri Dixit Nene, the timeless diva of Bollywood is making a comeback after many years. She is in Mumbai shooting for Anil Mehta’s Aaja Naachley. On the first day of her shoot at Yashraj Studios, Yash Chopra welcomed her personally. Madhuri was doing an interactive scene with her co-stars in the movie but refused to divulge much about her part. She had come to the sets with her two little sons. Yashji, as they fondly call him, made all necessary arrangements for them. When Madhuri reached the sets at around 6:30 p.m. she saw that a special playing area had been arranged for her kids, so that they can be comfortable when their mother is shooting during the day. Since she has never really been away from her kids since the time she became a mother, Yashji comforted her saying that she can act, while they take care of her kids. The actress shot all through the night and got home only in the wee hours of the morning. However, she claimed that the first day of her shoot was indeed very memorable. An elated Madhuri said that she was touched to see how Yashji personally came in to greet her! Reportedly, the lucky guy who has been cast opposite the lovely actress is Akshaye Khanna. The duo earlier came together in the forgettable film Mohobbat (1997). Aaja Naachley also stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Kunal Kapoor.

wichy: [url=http://week.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/theWeekContent.do?]отсюда[/url] Madhuri Dixit on her 'comeback' and life in Denver Tell her that she is the Amitabh Bachchan among Bollywood heroines, and Madhuri Dixit-Nene looks exasperated. "Why not just the Madhuri Dixit of movies, why Amitabh Bachchan?" she says. "Not that I don't respect him; I admire Mr Bachchan and his work. But why does the comparison have to be with a man?" It is just one of the many moments during the candid chat with the actor. Dressed elegantly in black trousers and a printed kurti, Madhuri looks every bit her part-a new generation 'yummy mummy'. As she returns to theatres with a mid-year release of YashRaj's Aaja Nachley, Madhuri admits that the action-lights-camera routine was the only thing she sorely missed in Denver. "I am thrilled to be working again. Being in the limelight was something I shied away from so that is really nothing that I care about. But I missed my craft; all of it-the emoting, telling a story, building a character," she says. When Madhuri danced to Saroj Khan's choreography at a film awards function last year, she fuelled rumours of a comeback. The actor admits she had received a call from Yash Chopra then asking if she was willing to face the camera. Luckily for her fans, she replied in the positive. After her younger son, Ryan, turned one, Madhuri had decided that if a good script came her way she would definitely consider it. "It was a dream offer. I had worked with YashRaj before and was sure about their professionalism. I knew that the project would be over on time and since they had worked with married actresses, they would know the constraints," says the smiling beauty. While not much has been revealed about the script, Aaja Nachley is said to be the story of a theatre actor and dancer, starring a coterie of actors including Akshaye Khanna. It also marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Anil Mehta known for movies like Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Lagaan, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer Zaara, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and the upcoming Marigold. Says trade analyst Komal Nahata: "Married actresses are making successful comebacks with meatier roles. Kajol and Juhi Chawla have proved it. Film-makers are experimenting with subjects that allow actresses to showcase their skills, irrespective of marital status or age." Worth Rs 75 lakh when she last faced the lights, Madhuri is estimated to have been paid nearly Rs 1 crore for this project. From being a reel heroine to a real life wife and mother, Madhuri says, was not a difficult transition. In fact, she was eagerly looking forward to it. The Dhak dhak girl got married to a Denver-based surgeon, Shriram Nene, in 1999. By 2005, she was the mother of two, Arin and Ryan. In the meantime, she did one film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, giving life to the character of Chandramukhi. The movie did very well, and Madhuri knew her audience still longed to watch her. At the age of 21, she burst on to the silver screen with the hit song Ek do teen in Tezaab, and Madhuri became a rage. The super success of Subhash Ghai's Ram Lakhan established her acting skills. The hits flowed in and Madhuri ruled: Dayavan, Parinda, Dil, Saajan, Khalnayak, Beta, Raja.... Sometimes it was her dance, sometimes her comedy and in Dayavan it was her skin show (something that she still regrets). Her Dhak dhak and Choli ke peeche performances made fans go berserk. The high point, however, was Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Koun, where she became a style statement: every dialogue, every step, every dress was imitated by the audience. No wonder, Madhuri calls it her favourite film. "It wasn't only about the role, we actually had a great time making the movie. It also started a trend of family movies," she says. When critics had virtually predicted 'the end' of her career after a spate of poor films like Yaarana, Rajkumar, Prem Granth and Koyla, Madhuri danced her way back with a refreshing performance in Dil To Pagal Hai opposite a much younger Karisma Kapoor. She also starred in Gajagamini directed by artist M.F. Husain who was awed by her beauty after watching Hum Aapke.... After her powerful roles in Prakash Jha's Mrityudand and Rajkumar Santoshi's Lajja, she called it quits. "I wanted to start a family then. I never thought how I would adapt," says Madhuri, about her decision to tie the knot. "People would recognise me there [in Denver] but obviously there was no mobbing like in India. Ram had not even seen my movies, so life was very normal." Two kids and at the start of 40, Madhuri still looks flawlessly beautiful and fit. "Eating healthy was the beginning. I started working out immediately after Ryan but it was difficult," she says. A mix of yoga and gym is her fitness recipe. Out from hibernation, Madhuri is hesitant to call it a comeback. "I had never planned this, nor am I saying that from now on I will do two or four films a year. I am just getting a feel of the industry," she says. Bollywood sure has changed, she admits. "It has become more organised and there is an influx of trained directors now. With the corporate culture coming in, everything has become systematic," says the actor. "I worked at a time when sometimes after assembling for a shoot we'd be sent back since funds weren't ready. Now nobody functions without a bound script. Hopefully all this should help me perform better than before." As of now, the night shoot system is working perfectly for Mads as her children hardly notice her absence. Does she think she still has the grit to be number one? Pat comes the reply: "I have always maintained that we are individuals not commodities that can be numbered. Each of us is popular because of a certain quality. As for grit, I'd say it is important to have healthy thoughts and respect every person. I have never stepped on others' toes to achieve what I wanted to." Мадхури говорит, что очень скучала по съемкам и мечтала начать работать снова, слава ее не притягивала, но свою профессию она очень любит, и ей хотелось вновь начать рассказывать истории, выстраивать характер, выражать эмоции. Про предложение Яша Раджа сниматься в его новом фильме - "эт была роль моей мечты. Я работала с Яшем раджем раньше, и уверена в его профессиноализме, я знала, что проект будет закончен вовремя, и поскольку он уже работал с замужними актрисами, мы сможем подстроиться друг под друга. Говорят, что Aaja Nachley - история театральной актрисы и танцовщицы, это будет режиссерский дебют оператора Анила Мехты, который снимал такие фильмы, как Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Lagaan, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer Zaara, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Если за последние ее работы перед браком Мадхури заплатили 75 лакхов, то теперь ей заплатили около 1 крора. После рождения двух детей на пороге 40-колетия Мадхури по прежнему прекрасна- "Здоровое питание - это главное. Я начала работать над собой сразу после рождения Риана, хотя это было тяжело. Смесь йоги и тренажерного зала - вот ее рецепт. Система съемок ночью идеально подходит для Мадхури и дети едва замечают ее отсутствие.
wichy: Картиночки из новой фильмы Мадхури Aaja Naachle - Мадхури выглядит ИМХО божественно!!! И похож, танцевать будет много :-) отсюда
Julia_C: Я очень рада, что Мадхури вернется. Наконец-то!!!!!
nelke: Вишенка! Пасиба за картинки! На первой Мадхури как девчонка, а вторая, если повезет, обещает быть зашибенным танцем (голые мужеские спины и женщины в наце наводят на мысль на чего-то комбинированное)
wichy: не помню, было или нет - интервю Мадхури в Стардасте. Будет время - переведу. “MY KIDS WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST IN MY LIFE” ONLY WHEN YOU LOSE SOMETHING DO YOU REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY MEANT TO YOU. ONLY WHEN YOU START MISSING SOMEONE YOU WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAD TAKEN THE PERSON’S PRESENCE FOR GRANTED. MADHURI DIXIT AND THE MINE OF HER TALENT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST WELL KEPT TREASURES OF THE INDIAN MOVIE BUSINESS. EVERYONE AROUND ME SEEMED TO HAVE VALUED HER EXISTENCE, SINCE THE TIME I REMEMBER. BUT NOT ME. I RECALL MY CALLOUS APPROACH TO MY FIRST INTERVIEW WITH MADHURI YEARS AGO, WHILE SHE WAS SHOOTING FOR ‘DEVDAS’. ONLY AFTER SHE WAS FAR GONE INTO HER BLISSFUL OTHER LIFE, DID THE PANGS OF REMORSE AND IMMENSE RESPECT START SETTING IN. IN THE INDUSTRY LACED WITH PRETENTIOUS METHOD ACTORS AND FACED WITH UTTER MEDIOCRE TALENT, DAY IN AND OUT, YOU COULDN’T HELP BUT MISS MADHURI’S NATURAL GENIUS. TODAY, AS I AM TO MEET HER AGAIN, I HAVE A FEELING IN MY STOMACH SIMILAR TO A VISIT TO LOUVRE TO HAVE A DEKKO OF DA VINCI’S MONA LISA. MADHURI IS A SUPREME ART FORM IN HERSELF. AND LIKE THE PAINTING ON THE WALL, OR A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HISTORY, IT CANNOT BE TOUCHED. YOU CAN INTERPRET ART DIFFERENTLY, AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT IT DOES STAY IMMORTAL. SD: How much did Madhuri herself want to be back on screen? MD: I don’t know how badly I wanted it. But I can tell you one thing, its going to be fun. I have worked with Yashji before, and it was a good experience. So I have a comfort level there. And they have worked with married actresses, before, so they know what it is like. SD: Yes, that’s Kajol in ‘Fanaa’. How different does she think it’s going to be though, working as a married actress, and two kids to look after? MD: Yes, of course, it’s going to be different. And there are certain parameters that one intends to work in. We are going to have an 8-hour-day, so I can be back with the kids. I can’t stay away from them too long. They will always come first in my life now. If there aren’t feeling too well some day, I won’t be shooting that day. And I am sure everybody understands that. I spoke to Yashji about it and they are fine with it. Obviously there will be some changes from the way I used to work. SD: What was it that she really missed about being an actress? MD: Well, I miss the acting bit of it. I miss being in front of the camera and emoting. It’s my craft. I’ve done it for twenty years or more. That’s what appeals to me. The paraphernalia of being an actress doesn’t matter to me. I have never been driven by that anyway. I don’t miss the adulation and accolades. I like my life in the US. It’s very normal. I can go anywhere and do anything. I have my independence there, which makes me feel emancipated. But yes, I miss acting once in a while; whenever I get time from my kids. SD:Madhuri always maintained her distance from the film industry, even in her heyday. So it’s not hard to believe that she found it easy to snap her ties with the film industry here. MD: Yes, I guess I have been distant. I am just made that way, I guess. I am very simple. I cannot be drawn into the glamour of this industry. For each his own. I don’t say people shouldn’t do it. But I have always called myself ghar ki murgi. I used to finish work and run back home. That must be quite some ghar ki murgi, who adorned the walls of millions of fans at one point in time. But such is life, when now those posters have been replaced by the likes of Kareenas and Bipashas. SD: How does it feel not to be the queen of hearts, a place rightfully earned in the past? MD: Time goes on and you have to move on with time. You can’t just be stuck in one mould and say, ‘this is where I was, and this is where I want to be’. I have not held on to my past successes. I didn’t find it hard to let go of it ’coz I had always dreamt of getting married and having a family. That’s the way I’ve grown up. So it was just a transition for me. I get more joy in just playing with my kids and watching them grow. SD: Would it be wrong to say, she’s gotten what she wanted in life in the past few years; more than what she got from her two-decade-long-career? It’s apparent that when actors make films their lives, their personal growth gets stunted. MD: I always thought of myself as grown up. I was never frivolous or shallow. But yes, I used to think I am a very patient person. But my kids taught me you need a lot more patience. So yeah, there are a lot of things you learn, experiences you have; you evolve as a person. When I was working in films everyone else was responsible for me. There used to be a battery of staff looking out for me. And here you are, with your two kids, and you are responsible for everything that happens in their life. And that’s a very big responsibility. You know I have become so independent living there. Going to the banks, doing everything on your own; that I find it easier to be in Bombay now. First I didn’t even know where to start. Now, I just know I have to get up and go get what I want. SD: How has she adapted to the culture in the US? From a simple thing like being called Madhuriji by practically everyone around here to being Madhuri to her next-door- neighbours in the US; a lot must have changed. MD: Oh, you think, I’ll feel disrespected if I am not called ji? No way, I think I like it being on first name basis with people. There is much more closeness with that. Here it’s a norm that you are this big star, so you will be called ji and ma’am. I think it’s a culture thing. I have never been caught in the trappings of stardom. I’ve been a very down to earth person. SD: Being familiar with Madhuri, it’s the first time one’s hearing that. From what we hear, Madhuri didn’t let many people anywhere close to her personal space. She was always guarded with defensive walls around her. Have things changed since? MD: I wasn’t really guarded or anything. I’m just a private person and I still am. I am not open to people. I was always clear, ‘this is my work and that is my home’. SD: Coming back to films and the industry, does she have friends she feels she is coming back to. MD: That’s the thing. I didn’t make many friends in the industry. I have affections for people I have worked with, and they have affections for me. But there’s nothing like friends-friends. I can say a lot of good movies with good makers came to me. A lot of factors went into why I signed this film, besides the script. It will be something unexpected. SD: That’s what is expected from Madhuri’s comeback film, isn’t it? MD: I don’t know what people expect out of me. You can’t really gauge what people want from you, and I think even people don’t exactly know what they want from you. So we’ll see. Every time a film of yours becomes a hit, there’s pressure as to, ‘Now what you are going to do?’ ‘What are you going to do after ‘Devdas’?’ people ask me. That pressure is always gonna be there. SD: Talking of ‘Devdas’, her last film, a lot of people felt she’d been given a raw deal. Especially after her bravura performance in that small role, you wished there was more of her. MD: It was a great experience. I got to work with Birju Maharajji, the ultimate name in Kathak. SD: What about the raw deal given to her in the film. MD:If Chandramukhi’s character was any longer in the film, the film wouldn’t be called ‘Devdas’, would it? I knew Chandramukhi comes in the film only after the interval. I knew exactly what I was doing in the film. And I was cool with it. ’coz it required less number of dates from me. SD: So now that Madhuri is in town, doing workshops, preparing for her new role, the film directed by Anil Mehta has gathered momentum. Also work is on given strict deadlines, and will be shot in one schedule. MD: You bet, I’m gonna finish the film in one schedule before I go back. Yeah I’m not making a comeback, please. It’s not like I am going to continue doing 2-3 films a years. There are no plans as such. When my kids start going to school, it’s going to be difficult to take so much time off. I am not saying I’m here and I’m back. SD: For somebody who has seen, done and conquered it all, what is challenging for Madhuri the actress today, I wonder aloud. MD: That’s what I mean by pressure. It’s not that. When you love your profession and have enjoyed it for so long, it’s a little hard to walk away from it all, which I did. But there’s something in you that says, ‘there’s more left in me’. SD: Did she ever think of theatre as an option, a territory she hasn’t ventured into, and which many actors find more satisfying? MD: Not really. I haven’t really given it a thought. SD: One of the major gains from this profession is the remuneration actors get, especially if you go by the name Madhuri Dixit. Was that a factor she considered while taking her step back to films? MD: It’s not about money. Even earlier, if a producer came to me and cried, ‘I don’t have money anymore’, I’d just let it go. Money doesn’t drive me. If I like a script enough, I would do it for free. But if I am working I will demand respect and expect it. What is driving me today is to do something creative. And this seems the right time to do something creative, as films have moved on from ‘Dhak dhak…’ and ‘Ek do teen…’ It’s the right time for me. Filmmaking has changed for the better. We have worked in a time when we would be on the sets not knowing what we were doing. I would be asked to wait on the sets saying, ‘Ruko, dialogue likh rahe hai’. We have worked through all that and managed to do good work. It’s a great feeling coming from that scene to today’s sets where everything is so meticulously organized. It’s gonna be great fun. We used to work on instinct. Today with all the organization, there is very little margin for error. SD: So Madhuri’s all set to dazzle on screen once again. And she’s probably in the best shape of her life. MD: Everybody’s telling me I’ve lost weight. Even if I wasn’t going to do this film, I’d still have been fit. That’s how my husband and I feel. We feel we are responsible for our kids’ habits in the future, so we eat healthy, no bad habits. SD: But she wasn’t so conscious about her appearance when she was the reigning queen, I point out the irony. MD: Well, let me put it this way. I didn’t struggle hard to be in my best shape. I was so busy then, had little time for anything else. SD: So has her doctor husband put her on a strict fitness regime? MD: Yeah we go on a strict fitness regime. I did that after Arin too. We have a little gym in the house, where we work out regularly.
wichy: http://magnamags.com/ Madhuri Dixit, the dancing diva of bollywood, who is making her comeback with Yashraj Films’ ‘ Aaja Nachle’, has lost oodles of weight and looking as fresh and young as before her marriage and birth of her children. She attributes all this to support of her husband SriRam Nene and the hard training and disciplined habits regarding food. She admits that her comeback film is a dance-musical by design and not by accident as she loves dancing. As she reveals, ‘ Dance is a lot of things to me. It’s very spiritual to begin with. You just do not just dance with your body. You dance with your spirit. For me it’s like an expression of everything that I am. But having said that, I felt comfortable with the script of this film in its totality.’ Nonetheless, Madhuri admits that initially there was an unexplained fear about the newer changes that has swept bollywood these days. The entry of corporate world has changed the way bollywood works. Now it has become more systematic and disciplined than it was before. Earlier, when the actors arrived on the sets, their dialogues were being written and often they had to go spontaneously without much preparation beforehand. But now the making of a film has become more disciplined and everything is finalized before starting the movie. Everybody knows his part and has the dialogues beforehand. Even the dates for release of the film are worked beforehand. All this planning makes the work of an actor very easy but at the same time it may also kill the spontaneity of an actor. For the first two days, Madhuri was feeling jittery as she was not sure if she would be able to slip in the skin of the character fast enough to give the shots. Another worry on her mind was her kids, who were waiting at home and she had to return to them as soon as possible. But soon she was able to overcome her anxieties and became comfortable with the shoot in a way as she had never gone away from the film industry. Even old friends like Shah Rukh encouraged her and behaved as nothing had changed and she was not returning to shoot after a gap of six years. Если коротко - Мадхури привела себя в форму окончательно и выглядит не хуже, чем до замужества и рождения детей. Ее во всем поддерживает муж ШриРам Нене - и в упорных тренировках, и в выработке новых пищевых привычек. Она говорит, что ее фильм-возвращение - по задумке мюзикл, и это не случайно - она же обожает танцы. По ее словам: "Танцы много для меня значат. Первое - они духовны. Это не просто танец тела. Ты танцуешь духом. Для меня это как выражение всего, что я есть. И я поэтому чувствую себя комфортно с тем сценарием, по которому снимается фильм" Тем не менее, Мадхури признает, что сначала у нее был необъяснимый страх перед изменениями в Болливуде. Стиль работы изменился. Он стал более систематичным и дисциплинрованным, чем раньше. Ранее, когда актеры прибывали на съемки, их диалоги еще только писались, и частенько они действовали спонтанно, без особых приготовлений. Но сейчас создание фильмов стало более серьезным, и все приготовления завершаются до начала съемок. Каждый знает свою роль и диалоги заранее. Даже даты релизов фильмов определяются заранее. Все это должно делать актера легче, Но в сто же время это может убить его импровизацию. В первые два дня Мадхури была не уверена, что она сможет влезть в шкуру персонажа достаочно быстро, да к тому же еще беспокоилась о детях, которые ждали дома. Ей приходилось возвращаться к ним намного быстрее. Но вскоре она смогла преодолеть сомнения и приспособиться к съемкам, словно и не уходила из киноиндустрии. Тем более, что все ее старые друзья вроде Шахрука ведут себя так, словно ничего не изменилось и она не вернулась на съемки после шестилетнего переыва.

wichy: отсюда Now that she's back to Bollywood, Madhuri Dixit has realised that things have changed a lot since she left. For instance, the actress finds it uncomfortable while shooting sync sound for her comeback film Aaja Naachley as this technology is alien to her. "I am still getting used to it," says Madhuri Dixit. The actress has been part of the industry for almost two decades but in her time, the concept of sync sound was still not so common. "When Anilji (Mehta) explained that the film would be shot sync sound, I felt as though I had been away forever. Bollywood has become very technology savvy. In that sense, it is an advantage to work with a producer like Yashji as he's always up-to-date," she says. For Madhuri it is an entirely new experience altogether, one that leaves the seasoned actress ill-at-ease. "It was a different experience for me. Earlier, studios would be full of noise. From the irritating sound of the camera to technicians chit-chatting, I was comfortable with all sorts of disturbances. In fact, it used to work really well for me because I could concentrate 100 per cent on my facial expressions, knowing that I could dub later. But now it's a different story. Now there's complete silence and I have to be very conscious about both aspects of acting, expressions and lines, during a shot," she explains. In fact, Madhuri says it feels strange to hear her own voice during shooting. "It was really funny to hear my own voice on the sets. I became slightly conscious. Younger actors like Konkona and Kunal Kapoor are really good with all these techniques. Frankly speaking, I am enjoying every bit of the shooting because the process of filmmaking has become so refined," she admits. Madhuri says that she's very eager to get in sync with the concept of sync sound. And that is why she also keeps her kids away from the shooting zone as they don't understand the technical limitations of shooting in sync sound. "They have a play station installed inside the studio and I allow them to enter the sets only when I am doing a song sequence," she says. Мадхури говорит, что ей приходится привыкать к новым технологиям на съемках - к синхронной озвучке во время съемок. Ей приходится непривычно сосредотачиваться на интонациях голоса прямо во время съемок - раньше она могла сконцентрироваться только на визуальном ряде. В связи с этим и детей приходится держать подальше от съемочной площадке, поскольку они шумят.
Lo: Мадхури шикарна в черном платье!
Amita: Lo пишет: Мадхури шикарна в черном платье! когда увидела эту фотографию впервые, вообще не узнала Мадхури ...очень американский образ ,мне кааца тут она сильно на Лиз Херли смахивает (интересно ,как это будет смотреться в инд. кино ....оч. интересно.. ) с удовольствием бы глянула....
Дана: Сегодня смотрела какой-то фильм с Мерил Стрип 20 летней давности, с удивлением нашла много общего с Мадхури, черты лица и манера исполнения. Надеюсь на схожесть кинематографических судеб и на то, что талант Мадхури развернется в полную силу.
Дафна: Привет всем верным поклонникам Мадс! Спасибо за массу великолепных комплементов в её адрес! Очень приятно, что ещё остались люди, кто любит и ценит эту актрису!
wichy: отсюда Queen of hearts. The eternal Dhak Dhak girl. Madhuri Dixit continues to rule. She may have been away from the strobe lights of glamour, but her tantalizing appeal fails to diminish in the wake of fresh young talent. In fact, today she is looking fitter and even more radiant than even before. And of course she is dancing away to glory yet again in her comeback vehicle Aaja Nachle. In a rare public appearance yesterday when she inaugurated a painting exhibition of young Painter Purnendy Mandal, Dixit spoke exclusively to IndiaFM about an illustrious career that most certainly signifies a very important era in Hindi films. There was a time when MF Hussain made paintings out of your Didi Tera Devar Deewana pose, today you are promoting a new artiste. Has life come full circle? “I think he was more obsessed with the film than me,” the muse laughed. She was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. But it would be fair to say that her last big hit was Yash Chopra's Dil To Pagal Hai. Be it Ek Do Teen from Tezaab, or the college going snooty babe opposite Aamir Khan in Dil, the heart-stopping Dhak Dhak moments in Beta or the charm personified family girl asking a lovestruck Salman Khan…Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. And of course her Pooja act in the poignant triangle tale in Saajan is as fresh as morning dew. How have things changed from Then to Now? “I don't believe in comparisons. Technology will always advance. Jo aaj hai voh kal nahin hoga. I don't look back. The kind of technology, sets, effects, camera work we had at that time, we still made good films. Today with the advancement in technology, we can make better movies, so I think it's wonderful,” Madhuri said. Your dance moves made millions skip a heart beat. You also happened to have worked with a cross section of generations of choreographers. “It's like comparing one actress with another. Everybody approaches in his or her own way. Whether it is Farah Khan or Saroj Khan, they are all talented people. They all interpret dance in their own way. They all have the strengths. I look at the strengths and appreciate it. I worked with Saroj ji more so we have a connection there. We have given so many hits together. But that doesn't mean someone else is less good. They are all good.” Her tryst with Yash Chopra was in Dil To Pagal Hai and she is working with the Yashraj banner in Aaja Nachle after a decade. Things have changed. Today they are the biggest factory in Bollywood churning out the biggest hits with an amazing consistency. “I don't think I'll call them factory. They make the films from their heart. They work very hard on every film they make. They try to do the best for the artistes, the technicians and that is wonderful. It's a wonderful company to work with. I am really really glad I am working with them. I am having fun working on this film (Aaja Nachle).” Could you reveal something about the role? “That you are not going to know. You'll have to come and watch the film,” Madhuri chuckles. There was a time when Madhuri Dixit had put on weight. In fact Akshay Kumar jokingly called her 'moti' (fat) in Dil To Pagal Hai. But today when you look at her, it's a much trimmer and glowing Madhuri that gently sashays along making you go…Main shayar…tu meri shayari….oops….jumbling up the lyrics….Are we! But then that's the kind of effect she still manages to have. It was obvious to pop up the question about her fitness regimen and she laughs aloud that famous laughter-of-life in slow motion. “First of all I keep running after my kids. That in itself can get you in half your size. And of course there's a regimen that you have to keep because I am working in a movie. And me and my husband have decided that we have to be fit so that our kids are also the same.” Alright, let's get back to movies again. Any film in the recent past that you've liked a lot? “It would be Bheja Fry. The comedy was very different from other films. It was not slapstick. It was a different sort of film when this guy walks in the house and then creates a mess. All the actors have done a brilliant job and kept the interest of the film going. It was wonderful.” And amongst the new crop of actors which are the ones that you find promising? “Vidya Balan and Konkona Sen Sharma. But I wouldn't say that I am very fair because I haven't seen many films off late.” Well, that's an honest admission, but if you have to choose any one performance from your own films, which one will it be? “There are a lot of films which I look back with a lot of fondness whether they have done well or not done well. I can't really pinpoint one film. But I think my first film Abodh is closest, even though it didn't do well but I worked with the best people I've ever worked with i.e. the Rajshris. They introduced me to the movies. When Hum Aapke Hain Kaun happened, my joy doubled because they were the ones who had introduced me to films. And to work with them again and have such a big success was wonderful for me. In that sense every film has its own saga behind it,” Madhuri Dixit says getting into the nostalgic mode. Your future plans? “I don't know yet,” she says flashing that high octane smile. We'd say, Aaja Nachle to that one. And maybe lots more…. Вчера Мадхури посетила выставку художника Пурненди Мандала. Интервью взято во время этого мероприятия: Вкратце: По поводу того, что изменилось с тех пор, как она ушла из кино: "Я не оглядваюсь назад. Да. технологии стали более продвинутыми - но и с теми технологиями, декорациями, спецэффектами, операторскими возможностями мы делали хорошие фильмы. Сегодня с прогрессом технологий мы можем делать лучшие фильмы - и это замечательно" По поводу разных хореографов: "Это как сравнивать одну актрису с другой. У каждой свой способ. Будь это Фара Кхан или Сародж Кхан - они все талантливы. И каждый ставит танец по-совему. У каждой свои сильные стороны... Я работала с Сародж-джи больше, у нас множество совместных хитов. Но это не значит, что кто-то другой хуже. Они все хороши" Про Яшрадж фильмс: "Не думаю, что я назвала бы их фабрикой. Они делают фильмы от всего сердца. Они очень усердно работают над каждым фильмом, они делают все возможное для актеров, техников - и это чудесно. Это удовольствие - работать с ними. Я действительно счастлива, что работаю с ними и получаю истинное удовольствие от работы над фильмом". Про роль в фильме Aaja Nachle “Вам не следует ничего знать. Придется прийти и посмотреть фильм". По поводу поддержания отличной физической формы: "В первую очередь, я по-прежнему бегаю за детьми. Одно это способно сделать вас стройнее в два раза. Ну и конечно приходится придерживаться режима - я же в кино снимаюсь. Я и мой муж решили, что мы должны быть в форме, чтобы детям было с кого брать пример". Фильм, который понравился в последнее время: “Bheja Fry. Это комедия, которая отличается от других... Все актеры проделали удесную работу." Про новое поколение актеров - кого она находит наиболее многообещающим: "Видью Балан и Конкона Сен Шарма. Но я бы не сказала, что я очень честна, поскольку последнее время видела не так уж много фильмов.
wichy: отсюда A beauty to reckon, virtuoso performer and excellent dancer, that's how actress Madhuri Dixit, who turns 40 Tuesday, will always be remembered by millions of her fans. Her admirers are now eagerly awaiting her comeback film "Aaja Nachle". After a five-year hiatus, she steps under the arc lights to portray the role of a theatre artiste. Though she had many offers, she chose to work in the Yash Raj Films' project, directed by Anil Mehta. Set in the theatre world, the film depicts the journey of an aging actress.Though she has played a dancer in films like "Tezaab" and "Dil To Paagal Hai", this is the first time she's playing a theatre artiste. The film is in its completion stage and may b screened at cinema halls in November. The 'dhak dhak girl', as she is fondly called, danced her way into millions of hearts with the evergreen number "Ek do teen..." in "Tezaab" in 1988. Both the film and the song were smash hits. "I hope I'm not sounding presumptuous or vain. I think like Sridevi, I was another heroine who could break the barriers between the classes and the masses," she was quoted as saying earlier. Madhuri started her acting career with Kranthi Kumar's "Swati" in 1986 but then featured in dam squibs like "Abodh". It was "Tezaab" that launched her into the star league. Madhuri's career witnessed a meteoric rise after the film's phenomenal success. Movie buffs remember her performances in songs like "Bada dukh dina ("Ram Lakhan"), "Dhak dhak" ("Beta"), "Chane ke kheth mein ("Anjaam"), "Choli ke peechche" ("Khalnayak"), and "Maar dala" ("Devdas"). "She is a wonderfully graceful dancer and never looks unbecoming, no matter how cheap the movements are," director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was quoted as saying in an interview while he was making "Devdas" with her. He is a huge fan of Madhuri and claims she is the best dancer in Bollywood. Apart from being a great dancer, Madhuri proved her acting skills in films like "Ram Lakhan", "Dil", "Parinda", "Khalnayak". She starred opposite Salman Khan in "Hum Aapke Hain Koun", which is often called the crowning glory of her career. Madhuri also found a fan in renowned painter M.F. Husain, who later made a movie called "Gaja Gamini" - a tribute to the actress' beauty and talent. The two continue to be in touch. She has won four Filmfare awards for Best Actress and was also honoured with the Best National Citizens Award in 2001. Her career suffered a slide after "Anjaam", which was followed by a series of flops like "Raja" and "Rajkumar". She, however, did regain some ground with her performance in "Dil To Pagal Hai". Bhansali's magnum opus "Devdas" became her swan song after which she joined her husband in the US and is now the proud mother of two sons. "Aaja Nachle" will hopefully bring her more awards and accolades. Сегодня Мадхури 40 лет. Статья посвящена ее творческому пути, так сказать...
4837464: wichy : Сегодня Мадхури 40 лет. да ты че :) по недавним фотографиям - не сказала бы.. вот плохо все-таки быть звездой - все всё помнят и считают, да? и не наврешь ведь, что тебе 29...

wichy: Как Мадхури отмечала свой деньваренья: отсюда Bollywood Queen Madhuri Dixit who is making a comeback in tinsel town with Yashraj films' 'Aaja Nachle' ushered in her birthday quietly with family members on Tuesday. Madhuri who is married to US-based Dr Sriram Nene and is settled in Denver since her wedding in October 1999 is currently in Mumbai to shoot for 'Aaja Nachle' starring herself and Akshaye Khanna, her last film was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' which was released in 2002. Madhuri spent her birthday with her children Arin and Ryan, her parents and in-laws. Her husband Dr Nene is scheduled to arrive in Mumbai next week. She will wrap up the shooting of her film on May 20 and leave for the US with her family members, her business manager Rakeshnath said. He said Madhuri has not taken a break for her birthday and is shooting. ''Only me and my wife were the non-family members who were part of the quiet family celebration, ‘’he added. Отмечала день рождения Мадхури тихо, с семьей, с детьми Арином и Рьяном, родителями и сватьями. Муж приедет в Мумбаи на той неделе. Она заканчивает съемки фильма 20-го мая и уедет в Америку вместе с семьей. На день рождения Мадхури даже не делала выходной на съемках. Из посторонних на отмечании дня рождения был только менеджер Мадхури и его жена.
Акмарал: wichy : Из посторонних на отмечании дня рождения был только менеджер Мадхури и его жена. Ну как всегда,насколько же она все таки интроверт.
wichy: отсюда Madhuri's kids were with her throughout the shooting of her comeback film Aaja Nachle. "I made sure I shot the film during their holidays. I couldn't possibly leave them behind in the US. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my work. I was very relaxed. If I didn't have the support of my children, my husband, my mom and my in-laws, I couldn't have done it . They flew down to India twice during the shooting. And my mom was with me throughout. Ram was down in Mumbai twice because he and the kids missed each other." Madhuri Dixit has changed enormously. From being a polite but reserved almost aloof entity on her sets, Madhuri has become ultra-gregarious. "Children do that to you," she says. "My sons have made me a fun person. Besides that, all the experiences that you go through in life make you mature, you realise life doesn't have to be taken seriously all the time. My sons keep me on my toes," she adds. After Aaja Nachle Madhuri now has her fingers crossed. "Aaja Nachle has spoilt me. Yashraj treated me with such care!" Now what she does next will depend on what's offered to her and where it is shot. Her only demand — a strong and special script. Gloating over her Aaja Nachle experience Madhuri wonders if she'll have the same experience next time she shoots. She gushes, "I wonder if the experience will be as pleasurable! And if my kids have kept me relaxed, the entire crew of Aaja Nachle has been an inspiration and delight. They're so young, bright and raring to go. I'm so lucky I got to work with them!" Absolutely delighted by the current crop of actors and technicians in Hindi cinema Madhuri says, "There are such a wide variety of films being made right now with such wonderful actors! What a delightful performance Vinay Pathak has given in Bheja Fry. It was so funny!" Madhuri had done some comedy in Raja and though it was fun, she thinks it's tough. How does she keep in touch with the kind of films that are being made? She says, "I try to see as many films as possible. But there're more films being made than I can watch. We cannot complain about the quality. My director Anil Mehta has wonderful eye for detail. Having been a cinematographer with so many directors, he knows exactly what he wants and how to get it from every artiste. I had my fingers crossed and my heart in my mouth when I started shooting for Aaja Nachle. Anything could've gone wrong. But touchwood, it was smooth sailing." She's all praise for Yashraj. "They were thoroughly professional even when I worked with them ten years ago in Dil To Pagal Hai. Now they're even more organised. Everything runs so smoothly like well-oiled machinery. I've the highest regards for Mr Yash Chopra and Mr Sooraj Barjatya." Tell her Sooraj is still looking for another Madhuri after Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, she quips, "He doesn't have to look for another, I'm right here! Hum Aapke Hain Kaun was certainly a landmark. If Mr Subhash Ghai hadn't signed me for Ram Lakhan I'd have gone back to my studies. I guess Hum Aapke Hain Kaun was really special. Suddenly after that I became a part of everyone's household. I suddenly had old women hugging me and pinching my cheeks. I guess I've been lucky, I always got the right opportunity at the right time." Мадхури рассказывает о материнстве, своем новом фильме, и ее впечатлении от новичков в индустрии. Дети Мадс были с ней на съемках ее фильма Aaja Nachle. "Я убедилась, что съемки будут во время их каникул - я не смогла бы их оставить в США. Я не смогла бы сосредоточиться на работе. А тут я была очень расслабленная. Если бы меня не поддерживали дети, мой муж, моя мама, мои свекр со свекровью, я не смогла бы сделать это. Они прилетали в индию дважды за время съемок. А моя мама была со мной все время. Рам тоже прилетал в Мумбаи дважды - они с детьми скучали друг по другу. Мадхури сильно изменилась - из вежливой, но сдержанной, практически отстраненной во время интервью, теперь она превратилась в гипер-общительную. "Дети так меняют вас. Мои дети сделали меня веселым человеком. Кроме того, все, что вы испытываете в жизни, делает вас взрослее, вы понимаете, что к жизни не всегда нужно относиться серьезно. Сыновья держат меня в тонусе" - говорит она. После Aaja Nachle Мадхури держит пальцы скрещенными. "Aaja Nachle баловал меня. Яшрадж обращались со мной с такой заботой!" Что она будет делать теперь - зависит от того, что ей предложат, и где будут съемки. Единственное требование - сильный и особый сценарий. Вспоминая съемки Aaja Nachle, Мадхури интересно, каким будет следующий опыт съемок. ОНа говорит: "Любопытно, будет ли следущий проект таким же приятным! И если мои дети позволяли мне расслабиться, вся съемочная группа Aaja Nachle была такой вдохновляющей и милой! Они так молоды, ярки и легки на подъем! Мне повезло работать с ними!" Восхищенная теми, кто сейчас работает в индийской киноиндустрити, Мадхури говорит: "Сейчас делается столько разных фильмов с такими чудесными актерами! Как чудесно сыграл Винай Патак в Bheja Fry. Это было просто замечательно!" Мадхури делала комическую роль в Raja, ихотя это было забавно, она не думает, что она удалась. Следила ли она за новыми фильмами индустрии все это время? Она говорит: "Я пыталась смотреть столько фильмов, сколько возможно. Но фильмов всегда больше, чем я могла осилить. Мы не можем жаловаться на качество. Мой режиссер Анил Мехта отлинчно следит за мелочами. Поскольку он раньше был оператором у стольких режиссеров, он отлично знает, чего хочет, и что ему нужно от каждого. Я скрестила пальцы, когда начала сниматься в Aaja Nachle. Все могло бы не получиться. Но постучу по дереву, это было благополучное плаванье" Она в восторге от Yashraj. "Они уже были абсолютно профессиональны, когда я снималась 10 лет назад в Dil To Pagal Hai. А теперь они еще более организованны. Каждый работает, как отлично смазанный механизм. Я очень благодарна мистеру Яшу Чопре и мистеру Сураджу Барджатье" На слова, что Сурадж все еще ищет еще одну Мадхури после Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, она отвечает: "Ему не нужно искать, я уже здесь! Hum Aapke Hain Kaun определенно был вехой. Если бы мистер Гхаи не подписал меня на Ram Lakhan, я бы просто вернулась к занятиям. Полагаю, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun были чем-то особым. Неожиданно после этого фильма я пришла в каждый дом. Неожиданно старые дамы стали обнимать меня и трепать по щеке. Полагаю, мне повезло, у меня всегда был правильный шанс в правильное время."
Jotty: Мадхури - очень красивая женщина и актриса замечательная. "Любовь без слов" - шедевр в ее исполнении.
wichy: отсюда Madhuri Dixit who has come back to Bollywood after a long break, marriage and two kids has completed her comeback film Aaja Nach Le. Produced by Yashraj films and directed by ace lensman Anil Mehta the shooting of the film is complete and the film is in post-production stages now. Madhuri Dixit has flown back to US for sometime and will be back in a few months for its promotion. Итак, съемки фильма-возвращения Мадхури Aaja Nach Le завершены. Фильм ушел на пост-продакшн, Мадхури улетела в америку и вернется через несколько месяцев для рекламы фильма.
wichy: отсюда What could be a better treat for a woman who has been slogging for months! Madhuri Dixit’s heart went dhak dhak when Sriram Nene flew in from the United States and announced that they were flying out to Mauritius, with kids Arin, Ryan and the Dixit parents. Needless to say that Madhuri just jumped at the offer. The well-deserved break came after a four-month gruelling shooting schedule for Yash Raj's Aaja Nachle. A long holiday in Mauritius, for the entire family before Madhuri goes back to her full-time job of managing her home and kids back in Denver, was a welcome idea. Her secretary and close aid for years, Riku Rakeshnath informed, "Madhuri was extremely delighted by the surprise her husband, Nene, sprung up. He has taken the kids and Madhuri's parents along for a long holiday in Mauritius. After which they will return home in America." We hear even the kids Aarin and Ryan couldn't cope with the humid climate. Sources close to Madhuri tell that the kids were simply shuffling between their respective schools and home. They hardly went for outings. Says the source, "The kids were also becoming grumpy. They were uncomfortable with the weather here. Also, she could hardly take them out. This holiday will rejuvenate them." Madhuri will be back in town only around the release of her film, Aaja Nachle in October this year. Что можно сделать приятного для женщины, которая упорно работала последние несколько месяцев? Муж Мадхури Шрирам Нене прилетел за ней из Америки и сказал, что они всей семьей летят отдыхать на острова Маврикия, вместе с детьми Арином и Рьяном, а также с родителями Мадхури. После 4-хмесячных съемок в фильме Aaja Nachle Мадс просто счастлива от такого предложения. ДОлгий отпуск на Маврикии, со всей семьей, перед тем, как она вернется к ее работе на полную ставку по управлению своим домом и воспитанию детей в Денвере - отличная идея. Ее секретарь и первый помощник Рику Ракешнатх говорит: "Мадхури была очень рада такому сюрпризу, которой ее муж ей устроил" Говорят также, что дети Мадхури тяжело переносили влажный климат, буквально еле ноги таскали между школой и домом, и даже почти не выходили гулять. Так что отдых должен и им пойти на пользу. В мумбаи Мадхури вернется только незадолго перед релизом фильма, где-то в октябре.
wichy: отсюда Having completed filming of Aaja Nachle, Madhuri boarded a flight back to her hometown Denver with her boys last Monday belying gossip that she would stay back and revive her film career. By Vimla Patil 23 May 2007 (Sawf News) - Three months to make Aaja Nachle with Yashraj Films and Madhuri Dixit, 40, has got a taste of the good old gossip mill in Bollywood. As she came close to winding up her comeback film Aaja Nachle, the media was abuzz with gossip that she would stay on in India and reinvent her career because of 'cracks' in her eight-year-old marriage to Dr. Sriram Nene in Denver, CO, USA. Monday (21 May 2007), all these rumors were proved just feathers-in-the-wind without any substance. After completing the last few shoots of her film Madhuri, like a true Marathi girl, gave an interview to all local Marathi papers in which she gave her reasons for coming to Bollywood. "The offer from Yashraj Films was good," she said in her parting remarks, "In the past three months, so many offers have come my way but I will come back only if Aaja Nachle becomes a hit. I will come back once to do any patchwork if needed as the film goes into post-production work. I came during the holidays of my two sons. The elder, four-year-old Arin is missing home already. I have to catch up on his homework before school reopens. I have to be back to my routine in Denver. I realize that eight years have passed since I went off to the US. Things have changed in the film industry. Technology is far superior now and I had to get used to new inventions and methods. I worked from 7 am to 8 pm every day, shooting and rehearsing my dance sequences. But I have done well with the support of my family – particularly my husband who was very encouraging. I know age is catching up. In some distant future, I am willing to do roles of elder women – mother may be – provided they are central to the theme of the film. After all, no less an actor than Amitabh Bachchan has shown the way for all of us!" Madhuri boarded a flight for Denver with her boys Arin, 4, and Ryan, 2 last Monday and was excited about her reunion with Dr. Nene who would meet her at the airport! После того, как Мадхури вернулась в Болливуд, чтобы сниматься в новом фильме под баннером Яшрадж Aaja Nachle, медиа начали распускать слухи, что она может быть останется в Индии и начнет заниматься вновь своей карьерой из-за проблем в браке с Доктором Шрирамом Нене. Однако в интервью местным газетам Мадхури рассказала причины своего возможного возвращения в Болливуд. "Предложение Яшрадж было действительно хорошим. В прошедшие три месяца в мой адрес поступило столько предложений, но я вернусь только если Aaja Nachle станет хитом. Я приеду еще раз, чтобы сделать еще какие-то необходимые дополнения, если фильм этого потребует, поскольку сейчас он на пост-продакшн. Я была здесь во время каникул моих сыновей. Страший, четырехлетний Арин, уже скучает по домоу. Мне нужно еще заняться его домашними заданиями до того, как он пойдет в школу вновь. Мне придется вернуться к моим обычным делам в Денвере. Я поняла, что прошло целых восемь лет с тех пор как я уехала в США, многое в киноиндустрии изменилось. Технологии стали просто превосходными, и мне пришлось привыкать к новым методам работы. Я работала с 7 утра до 8 вечера ежедневно, снимаясь и репетируя танцевальные номера. Но я справилась при поддежке моей семьи, особенно мужа, который очень ободрял меня. Я знаю, что возраст - опасная штука. В отдаленном будущем, я готова сниматься в роли женщин постарше, может быть матерей - при условии, что они центральный персонаж фильма. В конце концов, никто иной, как сам Амитабх Баччан подал нам всем пример"
wichy: Огроменная статья про Мадхури в свежем выпуске Filmfare - спасибо добрым посетителям www.bollywhat.com Ms Sunshine Madhuri Dixit is back in the movies. Jitesh Pillaai walks on Cloud 9 There’s nothing as mood enhancing as watching yummy mummy Madhuri Dixit in action. Her face is a map of expressions. Watching her after years in front of the still or moving camera makes me forget the oppressive heat. I want to go out in the hot sun and zing. Circa 1992, I first met her on the sets of Khel at Filmistan studios. Beta had just been declared a super-duper hit. Without the luxury of a mobile phone or a RP person to set up interviews, my colleague and I rang up the studio and found out that queen bee was getting jiggy with it. Saroj Khan was choreographing the dance sequence. In a macabre set which looked like a cross between an outlandish Xanadu and a cat house, there she was in an ill-fitting outfit. She did her jig like only she could. A zillion volts flashed across that sultry studio. I recall her father Shankar Dixit, with his nose buried in a Reader’s Digest, unmindful of the oohs and aahs as his fabulous daughter reduced men to mush. My first interview with the reigning diva. Madhuri made excruciating copy. A journalist’s trial by fire. I struggled, I survived. And I came home zinging to Idlee doo. I was a convert. No two ways about that. You just had to love Madhuri Dixit aka MD. Unflappable and cool, she had carefully built a picket fence around her. There was this much she’d answer, no more probing. Off-record, she made better copy. But she was always circumspect, guarded but friendly. Then the meetings became more frequent. I saw MD dazzle through the ghastly Dil Tera Aashiq. As a rookie reporter, I’d bump into her on the sets of Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!, Koyla, Dil To Pagal Hai. She still made vegetarian copy. She’s worked with the most mercurial lot of actors – Nana Patekar, Salman Khan – yet remained glacier cool. I remember Salman trying his juvenile antics but she’d fix him with an icy stare. Madhuri Dixit, unlike Hema Malini or Kajol, was never imperious, rude or standoffish. She was just to the manner born, the queen of all she surveyed. Perhaps that was misconstrued as hauteur. She was hot which was uber cool as far as the box office was concerned. Then on the Devdas sets, I saw a different MD. The Dola re dola song was being canned. Aishwarya Rai was fretting over her costume. I could see that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was in awe of MD. He never directly communicated with her. Every time, she’d give a superlative shot, he’d make some expression which I figured was akin to a thumbs-up signal. I’ve yet to see MD high-strung or heat up like other heroines are wont to be. Every time the barbs or accusations hurt her, she’d turn even more calm. No flicker of anger, the eyes would betray no trace of pain. She was a seasoned performer. Emotions were only meant for the camera or the confines of her three bedroom home in Juhu. Like a story book queen, she gathered the folds of her dappled gharara and walked into the gilded sunset with Shriram Nene. And there was a sea change. MD had become less guarded. She spoke what she thought but still never tread on any corns. And as always, there was a sangfroid. She took off to the US to be with her Cardiothoracic surgeon husband. But the MD frenzy continued post Devdas. She stayed away. For a good five years. The plum roles went to other less-deserving actors. Which is a pity, because somewhere along the way, she had discovered her mйtier. Rajkumar Santoshi’s unwatchable Lajja was redeemed by a knockout performance from MD. Mrityudand saw her plumb the subtext of her character which even Prakash Jha hadn’t imagined. Everyone I know in showbiz, from Tabu to Rani Mukerji, and from Shabana Azmi to Gauri Khan is an unabashed Madhuri Dixit buff. And then Arin (4) and Ryan (2) were born. I hoped providence would intervene and get her back to the whirligig. And it happened. In the form of Aaja Nachle and Aditya Chopra. Her first question to Aditya Chopra, “Do you think people really want to see me?” See her? We wanted to savour her, watch her do the hup, two, three. No one dhak-dhakked liked her. Save for a Kajol or Tabu, all we were left with were botoxed bimbettes who could only talked about L’Oreal, Max Factor and abusive boyfriends. Her co-stars like Kunal Kapoor are tongue-tied in her presence. Konkona Sen Sharma, Akshaye Khanna and Ranvir Shorey were the fresh MD converts on the Aaja Nachle sets. I hope Step Mom, The Devil Wears Prada, Terms Of Endearment and Bridges of Madison County will be made with her. Besides Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Raat Aur Din and Guide, which on repeated viewings seem tailor made only for MD. Madhuri has lost oodles of post-pregnancy fat and still looks like a Boticelli painting on a warm April afternoon. Right at this moment, there she is in an ill-fitting kurta, Ryan saddled on her waist, she’s just back from a super mall. Back home, Ryan lisps “Dhoom macha.” Both her sons Arin and Ryan are Dhoom fans. Arin, the older and more voluble of the two kids, zips around like a dervish. He demands every moment of his mum’s attention. Ryan shows me his Spider-Man toys before he retires into his playpen. Madhuri smiles that dhak dhak smile of hers. Only this time, the erotic charge is missing. It’s maternal and reassuring. Outside, the din of the Juhu traffic melds into an occasional afternoon hum. It seems like old times. Like those giddy-headed times of yore we yammer away. The reticent Aditya Chopra won’t allow her to speak about Aaja Nachle but I can fathom it’s a role written specially for her. MD will joust and shimmy only like she can. She laughs, “Yeah, acting is a bit like cycling. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you just peddle on. I was initially nervous. But the unit was more than supportive. Plus Anilji (Mehta) is one of the coolest directors I’ve worked with. He’s just so easy and hassle free. Acting is in my bloodstream, so I’ll never really forget it. But desperate she isn’t. Once she wraps up shooting, she’ll be off to the US, only to return in October for promotions of her film. She says matter-of-factly, “I’ve been away from Ram for five months. But he’s been so supportive. I’ll do movies in my own free time. I can’t uproot my children constantly. So I guess for this year Aaja Nachle is it. Let’s see what happens about the other projects I’ve been offered. As of now, I haven’t committed to anything.” She continues, “Acting is about passion. You have to be passionate and single-minded about it. It can devour you, you must find ownership.” About the current movies, she’s fulsome praise for Hrithik Roshan’s performance in Dhoom: 2. “He was wonderful in the film. His body language, the theraav were amazing. I even loved Rang De Basanti and Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The chemistry between Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi is terrific. Even the ensemble cast of RDB was just too good,” she says gleefully. She tells me she immensely enjoyed the recently released Bheja Fry as well. It’s almost cinematic. I sense Madhuri’s evolution post-marriage almost like a slowly developing photograph in a dark room. She smiles, “I discovered love after marriage. I feel liberated. Earlier I was so cautious about what I said and where I went. But Ram is the exact opposite of me. He can make friends anywhere. Earlier I was very intimidated, I’d never get the right words to express myself. Ram is so vocal that even I have begun to articulate my thoughts better, I speak more freely now. In the US, I can just take the car and drive to any mall and pick up stuff. I could never dream of doing it while I was in India.” And she uses an inexcusable Americanism, “Ram really helped me to chill.” Harking back to her salad days, MD recalls, “I was so wrapped up in my work that the attendant frills never bothered me. I never socialized, threw parties, made great friends on the sets. You remember, I barely had a fashion sense. Like I said, I’ve opened up much more these days. I’ve become easy with myself and people around me. And I have to credit Ram for all the positive changes in me.” Almost laughing at the memory, MD says, “Even today, when I leave for a shoot or shopping in some strange ill-fitting kurta, Ram will sweetly say, ‘Wear something better, you’re a star, dress up na.’” I use the word empower advisedly. But one senses that Madhuri Dixit feels empowered post marriage. When I tell her that, she laughs that Li’l Miss Sunshine laugh of hers. “Empowerment? Hmmm, let me think. I think empowerment means the ability to face up to your responsibilities. Marriage has made me understand commitment better. Despite being so dissimilar, Ram and I are so similar. Sometimes I think I really lucked out with him. He’s a companion who completes me.” So how does her hublet handle the long spells of absence? She answers, “He’s the one who advised me to continue with my career in my own space and time. He keeps reassuring me. He says, ‘Even I’m away for days on end when I have my surgeries and you have to manage the home and kids alone.’” About Ram being known as Madhuri Dixit’s husband, she says, “Hey,that happens only in India. Back home in the US, I’m known as Mrs. Nene. So there.” With a glint in her eye she says she’d recommend marriage to everyone. “But only when they are ready for it,” she warns adding. “Parents shouldn’t coerce their children to marry because there’s really no right time. My parents never forced me. Luckily for me, the right man came along at the right time.” And then there are the children who reduce her to gush and goo every waking minute. She says, “It kills me to be away from them especially when I’m shooting. I feel disoriented and so do they. I tell you, they have me wrapped around their little fingers. Just the other day Arin got me a flower from school and cooed, ‘I love you mommy.’ My heart melted.” More lessons in parenting: “My kids make me so vulnerable, especially when they are unwell. I’m constantly reduced to a heap of tears. Sometimes, I’m just at a loss when I can’t figure out why they’re crying. And then my mom who’s so instinctive says, ‘Maybe Ryan has a stomach ache,’ and sure enough it turns out to be just that. It’s crazy how you understand parents better once your own children come along. I remember as a kid, I’d be lolling around the bed and mom would be hollering that I was upsetting all the neatly folded clothes on the bed. Today, when Arin and Ryan upset and overturn the laundry, I just roll my eyes and feel that I’m getting a taste of my own medicine.” Laughing some more she says, “My kids are my stress givers and stress busters. Arin’s picking up some broken Hindi and Marathi as well.” Madhuri has her own ideas about bringing up the babies, “I really want them to grow up as complete, well-adjusted individuals. I’d love them to be sporty, outdoorsy kind of kids. Which is why I don’t want my shooting schedules to upset their school and studies. So my kids and my husband will always be my first priority.” Ryan saunters up to his mom and plonks himself on her lap. Arin shows me pictures of his birthday party where Star Wars was the theme for the do. Queen bee slips into another avatar as effortlessly as she moves from one character to another. Outside the shadows of the evening are lengthening, the frames of mommie dearest and kids swirl like clouds in my head. Yummy mummy Madhuri Dixit’s life like most successful potboilers comes with a happy ending. In which remake would you like to see Madhuri? Karan Johar Definitely Sahib, Bibi Aur Ghulam. Of course, in Meena Kumari’s role. The beauty, gravitas and subtext she will lend to it would be beautiful. Kunal Kohli As film-makers we should think of new subjects for Madhuri, she’s such a powerhouse of talent. I’d rather show her ina way she or anyone else hasn’t been seen before. Madhur Bhandarkar I would like to remake Ketan Mehta’s Mirch Masala and cast Madhuri in Smita Patil’s character of Sonbai who defies the subhedaar’s lust and unifies the village women to fight him. A power-packed performance, keeping the dignity of a woman. Madhuri would be apt! Rakeh Roshan I’d love to see her in a version of Khoon Bhari Maang. She’s at the right stage in her life to do a complex role like that. Vikram Bhaat A slight older Sound Of Music. Some music, some laughter, some romance. Madhuri would be ideal. Then of course, there’s Fedora. She’d be perfect to add enigma to that character. Vipul Shah Guide, Ghar and my version of Aankhen. Whether she plays Rosie in Guide or the traumatized housewife in Ghar, Madhuri can bring grace and dignity to the most complex roles. Ashutosh Gowariker I don’t like to do remakes. I would like to see her in my next film called Shakuntala. Если осилю - переведу :-)
wichy: Перевод (все не буду, только то, что показалось интересным): Мадхури только вернулась из супермаркета. Рьян (один из сыновей) напевает “Dhoom macha.” Оба ее сына - и Арин, и Рьян - фанаты Dhoom. Арин, старший и более разговорчивый, носится вокруг как дервиш. Он постоянно требует внимания матери. Рьян показывает мне игрушечного человека-паука, перед тем как отправиться в детскую. Мадхури улыбается своей особой улыбкой. Только в этот раз в ней никакой эротики - только счастье материнства и ободрение. Снаружи все плавится от полуденного зноя Джуху. Кажется, все как раньше. Адитья Чопра не позволил ей говорить про Aaja Nachle, но можно вообразить, что роль написана специально для нее. Она смеется - "Да, актерство похоже на езду на велосипеде - раз научился, потом уже ничего сложного. Сначала я нервничала, но все на съемках очень меня поддерживали, да и Анил-джи (Мехта) один из лушчих режиссеров, с которыми я работала. Он такой простой и ненапрягающий. Актерство у меня в крови, и я не смогу никогда забыть об этом. " Но она не помешана на этом. Как только Мадхури закончит съемки, она уедет в америку и вернется только в октябре для промоушна фильма. Она говорит об этом как об очевидном: "Я была вдали от Рама целых пять месяцев. Но он очень поддерживал меня. Я буду сниматься в свободное время, но не могу делать это в отлучке от детей. Так что, пологаю в этом году это будет только Aaja Nachle. Посмотрим, что будет с другими предлагаемыми мне проектами. Сейчас я не стану соглашаться на все подряд." Насчет современных фильмов Мадхури хвалит Ритика в Дхум 2: "в этом фильме он великолепен. Его body language удивителен. Также я обожаю Rang De Basanti и Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Химия между Санджаем Даттом и Аршадом Варси - просто сногсшибательная. И весь кастинг РДВ - просто очень хорош." Недавно ей также очень понравился фильм Bheja Fry Про брак: "Я открыла для себя любовь после свадьбы. Я чувствую себя освобожденной. Раньше я очень переживала о том, что я скажу и куда пойду. Но рам - полная мне противоположность. Он может везде найти друзей. Раньше я была очень скрытной, не могла найти правильных слов, чтобы выразить себя. Рам отлично говорит, и я даже начала лучше выражать свои мысли, говорю более свободно. В США я могу просто взять машину и поехать в любой магазин и что-то купить. Я даже не мечтала об этом, когда была в Индии. Рам действительно помог мне расслабиться". "Раньше я была так занята работой, что прилагающиеся к этому излишества не беспокоили меня. Я никогда не была особо общительной, на вечеринки не ходила, друзей заводила только на съемках. Знаете, у меня нет чувства моды. Но теперь я стала более открытой. Мне стало легче с самой собой и людьми, меня окружающими. И я должна благодарить Рама за позитивные перемены во мне. Даже сегодня, когда я еду на съемки или по магазинам в какой нибудь странной не сидящей на мне курте, Рам мило говорит "Надень что-нибудь получше, ты же звезда, нарядись давай". "Замужество научило меня лучше понимать свои обязательства. Кроме некоторых различий, я и Рам очень похожи в этом плане. Иногда я думаю, что мне действительно очень повезло. Он - партнер, который дополняет меня." Насчет их долгой разлуки: "Он тот, кто советовал мне заняться вновь карьерой по мере сил и возможностей, и продолжает поддерживать меня. Он говорит: "Меня же тоже не бывает целыми днями, когда я на операциях, и тебе приходится одной управляться с домом и детьми" Насчет того, что Рама знают только как мужа Мадхури: "Эй, ну это только в Индии. Как только я приезжаю в США, я снова становлюсь Миссис Нене. Так вот". С блеском в глазах она говорит, что может каждому порекомендовать жениться "Но только тому, кто готов к этому. Родителям не следует заставлять детей жениться, потому что это может быть не вовремя. Мои родители никогда не принуждали меня. К счастью, правильный человек появился в правильное время." Про детей: "Я просто не могу быть вдали от них, особенно на съемках. Я чувствую себя дезориентированной и они тоже. Они они могут делать со мной что хотят. Только недавно Арин принес мне из школы цветочек и проворковал "Я люблю тебя, мамочка" - и мое сердце просто растаяло” "Мои дети сделали меня такой уязвимой, особенно когда им нездоровится. Я постоянно сдерживаю слезы. Иногда просто чувствую себя никчемной, когда не могу понять, почему они плачут. И тогда моя мама, у которой просто инстинкт, говорит "Может, у Рьяна животик болит" - и почти всегда так оно и есть. С ума можно сойти, насколько лучше понимаешь родителей, когда у тебя появляются свои дети.” "Мои дети - и источник стресса, и уничтожители стресса. Арин уже нахватался слов на ломаном хинди и Марати... Я хочу, чтобы они выросли в цельных, гибких личностей. Хочется, чтобы они были спортивными, общительными. Поэтому я не хочу, чтобы расписание съемок нарушало их школьные занятия. Так что мой муж и дети - в любом случае на первом месте для меня. ” Какие ремейки вы хотели бы увидеть с Мадхури? Каран Джохар. Определенно Sahib, Bibi Aur Ghulam. Конечно, в роли Мины Кумари. Красота, серьезность и подтекст, который она бы привнесла в нее - это было бы чудесно. Кунал Кохли. Как фильм-мейкер, я хотел бы новый проект для Madhuri, у нее столько талантов. Я бы хотел показать ее такой, которой ее никогда не видели. Мадхур Бхандаркар Я хотел бы сделать ремейк фильма Кетана Мехты Mirch Masala с Мадхури в роли персонажа Смиты Патиль, которая отвергает домогательства чиновника и объединяет женщин на борьбу с ним. Сильный перфоманс, показывающий достоинство женщины. Роль просто для Мадхури! Ракеш Рошан. Я хотел бы увидеть ее в Khoon Bhari Maang. Она как раз в той стадии жизни, чтобы сыграть многогранную роль вроде этой. Викрам Бхатт. Старый добрый Sound Of Music. Немного музыки, немного смеха, немного любви. Мадхури идеально бы подошла. Затем Fedora. Она бы привнесла загадку в этот персонаж. Випул Шах Guide, Ghar и мою версию Aankhen. Будь это Рози в Guide или травмированная жена в Ghar, Мадхури способна принести грацию и достоинство в самую сложную роль. Ашутош Говарикер. Мне не нравится делать ремейки. Я бы хотел снять ее в своем новом фильме Shakuntala.
wichy: Еще одно интервью с Мадхури: отсюда Madhuri Dixit has completed Yash Raj Films “Aaja Nachle”. Mads is settled in Denver since her wedding in October 1999. Her last film was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's “Devdas” in 2002. In an interview with TWF correspondent Vickey Lalwani, she talks about her comeback film, stay in Mumbai, husband, kids and future plans. Describe your role in Aaja Nachle? I am sorry. I am not supposed to talk anything about it. But I must say that it has been a very satisfying experience to work in this film. What is the extent of offers that have come your way since you came to Mumbai for Aaja Nachle? The extent is really very big. But I don't want to do every film. I want to do films and roles which will satisfy my creative instincts and worthy of buying a ticket in a theatre. But my first priority will always be my family. I will always consider where the film is being shot and if it is covenient for me to shoot in that place. Frankly, I will work at my own pace. Will you play a mom or a mother-in-law? Why not? Why did you refuse Saroj Khan's film? She has been your mentor... (Interrupts) I did not refuse her film because I was never offered that film. I don't know how these rumours started. So there's no fall-out with Saroj Khan? Sarojji is family to me. But she is not doing the choreography of Aaja Nachle, like she did in almost your films? Well, Yash Raj Films has put everything in place. And I didn't want to interfere in that. Vaibhavi Merchant is doing the choreography and she is very good. Have the work ethics changed in Bollywood from the days you got married and took a break? Tremendously. Almost everybody has become very organised. Yash Raj Films were very organised even before, but now they are super organised (laughs). The technology has become wonderful and that really helps. Have the actors become punctual? (laughs) Yes. I think the corporate culture has paid good dividends. The heroines have changed. They are doing bold roles and have bold scenes. Would you have been able to do it, if you were younger and in the thick of things now? I haven't faced that situation. Hmmm... if I would have seen that the director is good and can handle the scene well, I may have done it. But I tell you, this boldness is a reflection of the society. Films reflect society. Your relationship with Dr. Nene became a long distance one, courtesy Aaja Nachle? Was it tough? No. Distance makes the heart grow fonder (laughs). Plus, Sriram and I have our mobiles and we were in touch. Did you get mobbed in the city when you went out during this stay? To be honest, most of the days I have been shooting, and my life is restricted from home to studios and back. I went for a few movies with my kids-Arin, Ryan- and once to the Juhu beach. Many people came up to say hello, but nobody became unruly or misbehaved. Did Arin and Ryan see other places in Mumbai? They did. Sriram was here for some time, and he took them out to the Gateway of India and Taraporevala Aquarium. They also visited many malls. It's wonderful to see that Mumbai has changed so much in the past few years. Have Arin and Ryan started seeing your films? No. They have seen only Devdas. In fact, they saw some other films in Mumbai- Bheja Fry, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Dhoom2. They sat through all of them. Apparently, they love Hindi films. Good na? Did you catch up with your Bollywood friends during this stay? Any regrets that you couldn't meet someone? I met up with all those whom I wanted to meet. I met Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Ahmed Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta...the list is really long. No regrets at all. New actors who have impressed you and you think they'll go a long way? Konkona Sen Sharma, Kangana Ranaut- she was awesome in Gangster, Priyanka Chopra, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shourey and Riteish Deshmukh. When are you coming back to India? From whatever I have been given to understand, Aaja Nachle will release sometime around Diwali. I will be coming sometime before its release - for the promotional activities. На вопрос, будет ли она играть мам и свекровей - говорит - а почему нет? Про то, почему, она отказалась сниматься в фильме Сародж Кхан - говорит, что этот фильм ей и не предлагали, это слухи, Сародж - часть семьи для нее. А то, что она не делала хореографию для Aaja Nachle - то это выбор Яшрадж Филмс, и она в это не вмешивалась. Хореографию делала Вайбхави Мерчант и отлично справилялась. Насчет того, стала бы она делать откровенные сцены и отковенные роли - Она не попадала в такие ситуации, но если бы она знала, что режиссер хороший, и сможет справиться со сценой - то возможно она стала бы сниматься. Но вообще - откровенность - отражение общества. Фильмы вообще отражают общество. Насчет того, как она проводила время в Мумбаи - говорит, что в основном работала, пару раз гуляла с детьми по пляжу в Джуху, многие подходили поздороваться, но все вели себя прилично и не надоедали. Муж, когда навещал ее в Мумбаи, возил детей к Воротам Индии и океанарий. Также они посещали множество торгово-развлекательных центров. И вообще, приятно видеть, как изменился Мумбаи за несколько лет. Ее фильмы дети не смотрят, видели только Девдас. Но в Мумбаи они посмотрели Bheja Fry, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Dhoom2. Причем посмотрели от начала до конца - наверно им понравились фильмы на хинди :) Встречалась ли она с кем-то из старых болливудских друзей - да, со всеми, с кем хотела - с Шахом, Анилом, Акшаем Кханной, Ахмедом Кханом, Рани, прити... Список очень длинный. Кто из новых актеров ее впечатлил - Конкона, Кангана - особенно в Гангстере, Приянка, Винай Патак, Ранвир Шорей и Ритеш Дешмук.
Маришка: Суперская актриса! Обожаю ее! "В сумасшедшем сердце" была просто как ангел. С нетерпением жду ее нового фильма!

Lo: Это, как я понимаю, из ролика...
wichy: отсюда - Jaideep Sahni has brought in a whiff of originality by scripting successful movies like JUNGLE, COMPANY, BUNTY AUR BABLI and not to forget this year’s KHOSLA KA GHOSLA. But he has really scooped his way to fame and glory with the globally successful CHAK DE! INDIA. More than the blockbuster worldwide acceptance, it is the critical acclaim and accolades that have made Jaideep a name to reckon with in the film industry. However life moves on for this creative genius and he is already focused on his next Yash Raj project, the Madhuri Dixit starrer, AAJA NACHLE. Not willing to disclose much about the contents of the movie, he says, it’s another script based on personal experiences, this time during his engineering days in Bidar (a small town in Karnataka). On further coaxing Jaideep relents a little and discloses that the movie is about what happens when a new thing (?) comes to a small town! The much awaited Madhuri Dixit comeback vehicle, AAJA NACHLE, is all set to storm the theaters on 30th November. Сценарист фильма AAJA NACHLE рассказывает, что сценарий основан на его личном опыте во время работы в Бидаре, маленьком городке в Карнатаке. Фильм рассказывает о том, что бывает, когда в маленьком городке появляется что-то новое.
wichy: отсюда - про новый проект Мадхури Aaja Naachle, вернее, про музыку к нему. “Chak De has become an anthem. It’s a great feeling to be a part of a film that has become so big,” says Sulaiman Merchant of music composer duo Salim-Sulaiman who has composed music of films like Chak De India, Iqbal, Dor and Kaal. They also happen to be the first choice for designing the background score of some of the biggest films in tinsel town. Obviously they are excited about making Madhuri Dixit dance to their tunes in Yash Raj’s next Aaja Nachle. But there’s something unique they’ve attempted in Aaja Nachle that has never been done in Bollywood before. “In Aaja Nachle we have composed a 25 minute play written in nautanki style, something that small town people can associate with. It has been produced in new world, western theatrical style, the kind of stuff you get to see in Broadway or theatres in West. It’s produced and done in the same style. The sadness, the pain, the fights, everything has been told in a musical format. There were 9-10 singers and 7-8 actors who’ve dubbed their own voices,” Sulaiman said excitedly. This 25 minute play has been written by veteran theatre personality and actor Piyush Mishra (If you’ve seen the latest Greenply ad on telly, then he is the lawyer who’s asking for ‘suboot’). Elaborating on the music score of Aaja Nachle, Sulaiman says that it’s not the typical “Madhuri numbers. It is one step beyond what Madhuri has done. It has a classical base with contemporary style. There are a variety of songs. There’s an English song, a slow song. There are a wide array of singers like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Sunidhi. The music releases on 18th October.” Salim-Sulaiman have also been associated with Merchants of Bollywood, a musical choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant that is all set to start its third season in various European countries. Incidentally, Vaibhavi has accused Morani Brothers of ‘stealing’ their idea for the much hyped Miss Bollywood starring Shilpa Shetty. “It’s a massive production. If we would have tried to play the music live then we would have required a 100 piece orchestra,” Sulaiman says. The talented duo feels strongly about the penchant for plagiarism that is common in the music industry in India. “Our population is one billion, can’t we come up with something original. That’s so sad.” Sulaiman feels the duo would like to do quality films like Dor, Iqbal, Chak De India and Aaja Nachle rather than taking up too many projects. Their next few films include Roadside Romeo (Jugal Hansraj’s film, a joint production with Disney) and Cootchie Coothcie Hota Hai (Karan Johar’s animation film). Композиторы Салим-Сулейман, которые делали музыку к фильму, рассказывают: “Для Aaja Nachle мы сделали 25-минутную пьесу, написанную в стиле нотанки (стиль североиндийского народного театра), которая ассоциируется с маленьким городком и его жителями. Она была поставлена в стиле западного театра - тех постановок, которые вы увидите на Бродвее. Печаль, боль, вражда - все было рассказано в музыкальном формате. В пьесе участвуют 9-10 певцов и 7-8 актеров дублируют пьесу собственными голосами. Что касается музыки, то она нетипична для Болливуда. "Номера Мадхури будут небольшим шагом вперед - такого она еще не делала. У них классическая база и современный стиль. Есть разные песни - песня на английском, медленная песня. Участвуют разные певцы - Рахат Фатех Али Кхан, Сунидхи. Релиз музыки - 18 октября.
wichy: отсюда - небольшое интервью с Мадхури про праздник Дивали. “I love all festivals. Barring Holi, I try and celebrate all festivals, which even includes Onam and Baisakhi! I am a God loving person and I love attending poojas. Diwali used to be loads of fun in childhood. The entire process leading up to Diwali, of spring cleaning, making savouries and other preparations used to be so much fun. There would be festive air all over the place and the aroma of chaklis and chivdas being made still makes me nostalgic. We as children used to visit houses Diwali was so special during childhood because it was associated with the diwali vacation too. Diwali simply suggests unbounded joy and everything new. I totally miss celebrating Diwali in Mumbai. Bursting crackers, meeting people, and even that ambience is so sorely missed by me. We do celebrate Diwali here, but it is obviously not like back home. We don’t even get crackers here in Denver! We try and make up for the lack of the atmosphere in Mumbai by wearing nice traditional clothes and having lot of sweets.

wichy: отсюда Madhuri returns to Mumbai to promote 'Aaja Nachle'Pune, Nov 14 (IANS) Madhuri Dixit who was apparently not satisfied with her comeback film "Aaja Nachle" will nevertheless be in Mumbai to promote it after Yash Chopra persuaded her to do so. The actor, who lives in the US, will be in Mumbai Wednesday to attend the promotional events for "Aaja Nachle" that releases Nov 30, Chopra said here Tuesday during a visit to accept the Zenith Asia award for his contribution to cinema at a ceremony organised by the National Films Archives of India. Apparently, the actress felt Yash Raj Films did not deliver the promised goods and therefore refused to promote "Aaja Nachle". Chopra, who gave her a makeover in his super hit "Dil To Paagal Hai", had a tough time convincing her to change her mind. The director said his son Aditya met Madhuri in Detroit last year and convinced her to make a comeback with their film. She accepted the offer and came to Mumbai from the US, where she lives with her husband Sriram Nene and their two children. She was in India for almost seven months to complete the film. The actor had taken a sabbatical after "Devdas" and will be seen in a film after five years. Chopra, who hasn't directed any film after his cross-border love saga "Veer-Zaara", also talked about his forthcoming venture which he plans to start in January next year. "I don't direct too many films these days because I am short of ideas. I can only make romantic movies. I'm finalising the script for my next film. I cannot make action movies and that is why Yash Raj produces movies made by young and talented directors," Chopra told IANS. He is also looking forward to Yash Raj Films animation movie "Road Side Romeo", which is being made in collaboration with Walt Disney. Chopra doesn't want to compromise on quality and has allocated a huge budget for the film, which is expected to release sometime in June next year. He said: "For the first time, we have an Indian animation movie with the quality of Disney animation." Мадхури вернулась в Мумбаи для рекламы фильма 'Aaja Nachle'Pune. Говорят, что ей не сильно-то фильм понравился, однако она приехала, после того, как Яш Радж убедил ее сделать это. Фильм выйдет 30 ноября. Так что начиная со среды Мадхури в Индии и будет участвовать в различных мероприятиях.
OLA: A 'comeback' film always holds significance. Dilip Kumar [KRANTI], Amitabh Bachchan [MRITYUDAATA], Vinod Khanna [INSAAF], Dimple Kapadia [SAAGAR], Mumtaz [AANDHIYAAN] and Kajol [FANAA] are names you cannot erase from your memory since the celebrated actors returned to the big screen after a hiatus. With AAJA NACHLE, Madhuri Dixit, who reigned supreme, is back to the studios with the Numero Uno production house of the country. Does the actress still possess the charisma to ignite fire in water? Also, does the vehicle she chooses to make a comeback with, have the fuel to reach the winning post? Write your own movie review of Aaja Nachle Sadly, AAJA NACHLE is below the mediocre mark and doesn't meet the humungous expectations that you associate with the Yashraj - Madhuri combo. What's the problem? Without a doubt, the script! What starts off as a story that seems real and identifiable becomes a fairy tale in the latter hour. Also, with a title like AAJA NACHLE and the story harping on music, the songs had to be chartbusters. That's just not the case here! In short, AAJA NACHLE fails in the two vital departments -- writing and music. The film doesn't make your heart go dhak-dhak, nor does it prompt you to break into a nach at the end of the show. After nearly a decade, an unexpected phone call shakes Dia [Madhuri Dixit] out of her dance rehearsal in New York. Makarand [Darshan Zariwala], her guru, is dying and she must return to Shamli, a town in India. The town where she grew up, the town where she learnt to live and to dance. Also the town she left on an impulse, severing ties with her parents and her people. It is a poignant and troubled return; not only has her guru passed away but the institution that he so lovingly nurtured is in decay and under threat of demolition. Ajanta theatre, the once vibrant hub of the community, the place where Dia's fondest memories are embedded, must now be brought down because the local political authorities feel it a waste of prime real estate. With the help of Doctor [Raghuvir Yadav], the caretaker of Ajanta, Dia sets out on a mission to prevent the destruction and resurrect the spirit of Ajanta. In an atmosphere of mistrust, ridicule and active hostility, Dia picks up the gauntlet and agrees to achieve the near impossible task of putting together a theatrical production. She must also ensure that every member of the production is from Shamli town. She has only two months to prove her point or the bulldozers will be waiting. Bearing a striking similarity to the Brazilian film XUXA REQUEBRA, Jaideep Sahni's screenplay is the biggest culprit here. The protagonist [Madhuri] knows that there would be hurdles galore on her way, as she embarks on a journey to realize her guru's dreams. But she hardly struggles to achieve the impossible. Even the corrupt politician [Akhilendra Mishra] or the shrewd businessman [Irrfan], who could've proved to be tough nuts to crack, give in so easily. Besides, the goings-on get too unbelievable. The first question that crosses your mind is, how does Madhuri raise the funds to put up this spectacular event [the set design in the penultimate song is marvellous]? Okay, that's a cinematic liberty, but, seriously, there should've been at least some reference to where the money would flow in to fund this mammoth, lavish and extravagant event. What starts off as a 'real' film, drifts into a 'surreal' world as it moves ahead. Debutante director Anil Mehta knows the importance of frames/visuals since he's an accomplished cinematographer. But Mehta ought to know by now that it's the content that does the talking eventually. The writing is too commonplace to make any impact whatsoever. In an effort to strike a balance between believable and make-believe, AAJA NACHLE falls like a pack of cards. Salim-Sulaiman's music is another minus point. You expect the songs to linger in your memory even after the show has ended… that's what makes a musical tick, right? It's not the case here. Dialogues are wonderful at places, especially the ones delivered by Akshaye Khanna and Madhuri. Cinematography [Mohanan] is splendid. Madhuri has always delivered qualitative performances and the fire continues to burn to this date. She's top notch, but how one wishes the script would've done justice to her talent. It doesn't offer her a pedestal to take that big leap. The loyal Madhuri fans would surely feel disillusioned and saddened. Akshaye Khanna is tremendous. In fact, it's a treat to watch Madhuri and Akshaye together, after a hiatus. Kunal Kapoor is likable; he enacts his part with natural ease. Konkona is nice, but when compared to her previous work, it's definitely not in that league. Irrfan, in a brief role, is okay. Divya Dutta too is relegated to the backseat. Ranvir Shorey is first-rate. Ditto for Raghuvir Yadav. Darshan Zariwala does a fine job. Yashpal Sharma is alright. Vinay Pathak and Sushmita Mukherjee are adequate. Akhilendra Mishra is as usual. Jugal Hansraj gets no scope. Vinod Nagpal and Uttara Baokar, as Madhuri's parents, have nothing much to do. Felix D'Alviella [as Steve -- Madhuri's lover] is passable. On the whole, AAJA NACHLE disappoints big time. At the box-office, the film has embarked on a poor start and coupled with weak merits will only emerge as one of the major disappointments of the year. http://www.indiafm.com/ Похоже не быть новому фильму Мадхури хитом
