Mumbai:
All
set
to
stage
a
come
back
in
Bollywood
with
Dedh
Ishqiya
and
Gulab
Gang,
Madhuri
Dixit
does
not
believe
she
has
competition
on
hand
with
actresses
like
Karisma
Kapoor
and
Sridevi
returning
to
films
after
taking
long
breaks.
Almost
after
a
gap
of
15
years,
Sridevi
made
a
comeback
with
English
Vinglish,
which
won
her
accolades
while
Karisma
returned
with
Vikram
Bhatt's
Dangerous
Ishq
last
year.
Ask
Madhuri
if
she
considers
anyone
as
her
competitor
in
the
industry,
she
says,
"I
don't
know...
I
have
never
believed
in
that.
I
do
what
I
like
and
I
enjoy
doing
what
I
do.
All
I
can
say
is
I
do
have
strong
roles
in
the
films
that
I
am
doing
-
Gulab
Gang
and
Dedh
Ishqiya.
Both
the
films
have
nice
characters."
Gulab
Gang
is
a
story
of
a
gang
of
women
fighting
against
social
injustice.
The
film,
directed
by
Soumik
Sen,
also
stars
Juhi
Chawla,
Mahie
Gill,
Shilpa
Shukla
and
others.
"I
have
met
Juhi.
She
is
a
very
sweet
person.
It
has
been
wonderful
experience
to
work
with
her," Madhuri
said.
Madhuri
has
also
signed
the
sequel
of
Vishal
Bhardwaj's
Ishqiya,
titled
Dedh
Ishqiya.
Abhishek
Chaubey
had
directed
Ishqiya,
which
got
great
reviews
and
Box
Office
collections.
The
film
was
produced
by
Bharawaj.
Even
for
the
sequel,
the
director,
producer
and
lead
actors
Naseeruddin
Shah
and
Arshad
Warsi
have
been
retained.
"It
is
an
honour
to
work
with
him
(Naseeruddin),
he
is
a
great
actor.
Dedh
Ishqiya
will
begin
from
mid-February," Madhuri
said.
Post
her
marriage,
Madhuri
had
relocated
to
the
US
for
almost
a
decade.
It
was
in
October
2011
that
she
shifted
her
base
back
to
Mumbai,
along
with
her
family.
Now
that
she
is
back
in
the
film
world,
Madhuri
not
only
has
movies
but
endorsements
also,
and
she
handles
it
all
perfectly.
"I
think
I
am
a
multi-tasker.
I
can
do
two-three
things
at
a
time.
I
am
strict
to
myself
and
even
my
kids.
I
take
responsibility
of
my
health,"
she
said.
Madhuri
was
present
at
the
Government
dental
college
in
south
Mumbai
today
for
an
event.
"Dental
hygiene
is
very
important;
people
don't
take
it
seriously.
Everyone
can
have
a
smile
like
me.
And
everyone
can
smile
confidently.
Your
personality
looks
different,"
she
said,
adding
that
she
liked
Madhubala's
smile
the
most.
