Who
do
you
think
is
your
opponent
today
in
Bollywood?
Since
this
is
a
very
creative
field,
I
don't
see
anybody
as
my
opponent.
Everybody
is
doing
their
job
here.
All
that
matters
to
me
is
my
work
and
my
aim
is
always
to
do
better.
Do
you
also
like
other
stars
give
importance
to
the
'100
Crore
Club' and
how
important
it
is
that
your
film
should
be
included
in
the
Rs.
100
crore
club?
The
100
crore
club
is
of
no
importance
to
me,
and
I
don't
work
to
be
included
in
the
100
crore
or
200
crore
club.
In
earlier
times,
films
used
to
be
called
silver
jubilee,
golden
jubilee,
etc.
But
ofcourse,
there
is
a
lot
of
difference
between
cinema
'then'
and
cinema
'now'.
In
those
days,
there
were
lesser
number
of
theatres
in
the
city
than
it
is
today.
Today
films
release
together
in
theatres
and
the
price
too
has
increased.
Actresses
today
are
more
open-minded
and
are
quite
connected
with
their
fans.
What
do
you
think
about
the
life
of
heroines
today?
A
lot
has
changed
over
a
period.
In
earlier
times,
we
use
to
do
only
1-2
interviews
and
never
ventured
out
to
promote
our
films.
But
today,
actresses
have
to
work
harder,
especially
for
the
promotion
of
their
films.
How
do
your
children
feel
about
relocating
to
India?
What
is
it
that
they
miss
now?
My
children
enjoy
living
in
India
and
they
love
the
'open
and
frank'
atmosphere
out
here
and
they
like
the
atmosphere
in
school
as
well.
However,
they
miss
the
open
space
and
parks
in
foreign
countries.
As
far
as
I
am
concerned,
I
have
always
enjoyed
living
in
Mumbai.
For
me,
it's
like
coming
back
home.
Do
you
feel
that
even
today,
Bollywood
is
male
dominated?
Even
today
actors
easily
get
to
do
lead
roles
even
after
crossing
the
age
of
40.
However,
it
doesn't
happen
much
in
the
case
of
actresses.
Besides,
heroines
are
made
much
lesser
than
heroes.
But
this
is
the
case
not
only
in
films,
but
every
sphere
of
life.
I
feel
even
today
that
women
have
to
work
much
harder
than
men
to
prove
their
potential.
However,
things
have
changed
a
little
now.
Since
you
have
begun
working
once
again,
are
you
able
to
give
enough
time
to
your
family?
My
family
comes
first
to
me.
Since
I
have
returned
to
Mumbai,
I
have
always
adjusted
my
work
in
such
a
manner
that
I
am
able
to
give
enough
time
to
my
husband
and
children.
This,
I
think
is
the
story
of
every
working
woman,
not
just
actresses.
After
Devdas,
you
worked
with
Birju
Maharaj
for
the
second
time
in
Dedh
Ishqiya.
How
was
the
experience.
Remo
Fernandes
also
choreographed
a
song
in
the
film.
What
do
you
have
to
say
about
the
dance
number?
The
choreography
in
Dedh
Ishqiya
was
brilliant.
Remo
too
did
an
outstanding
job
of
the
dance
sequence
considering
that
it
was
not
at
all
his
style
or
genre!
In
fact,
I
myself
was
shocked
seeing
his
work.
In
once
dance
choreographed
by
Birju
Maharaj,
I
only
had
to
emote
in
the
entire
song,
with
zero
lipsing.
That
was
delightful
and
I
totally
enjoyed
that.
Begum
Para
in
Dedh
Ishqiya
loved
poetry.
Does
Madhuri
Dixit
too
enjoy
poetry?
There
was
a
time
in
my
life
when
I
wrote
verses
and
poetry
since
I
always
loved
Urdu.
I
late
gave
up
that
hobby
which
I
regret
till
date.
I
have
always
loved
the
works
of
Gaalib,
Mir
and
Faiz.
Was
your
wedding
to
Dr.
Nene
a
sudden
decision
or
a
well-thought
of
act
since
he
is
not
from
the
industry?
When
I
first
met
Dr.
Nene,
I
did
not
even
know
that
he
was
a
doctor.
I
liked
him
as
a
person
and
as
we
kept
meeting
each
other
more
often,
we
became
close
and
decided
to
get
married.
How
was
your
experience
working
with
Naseeruddin
Shah?
My
chemistry
with
Naseeruddin
Shah
was
awesome.
I
never
felt
any
sort
of
embarrassment
while
acting
with
Naseeruddin
Shah.
The
script
of
the
film
is
also
important
in
ascertaining
the
chemistry
between
the
actors.
