It
Was
All
In
The
Destiny,
Says
Madhuri
"I
didn't
decide
anything
about
acting
or
movies,
fate
had
decided
it
for
me
because
I
have
learnt
Kathak
for
many
years
right
since
I
was
three
years
old.
I
was
interested
in
dramatics
and
all,
but
I
never
thought
I
would
work
in
films
someday.
I
never
knew
anyone
from
a
film
background
so
the
film
was
far
from
my
dreams.
But,
it
so
happened
that
when
I
was
in
the
seventh
standard
I
got
an
offer
for
a
film
in
which
I
was
supposed
to
play
a
Kathak
dancer
and
my
mom
said
no.
But
again
when
I
was
12
years
old,
Rajashree
production
was
looking
for
a
new
face.
Things
eventually
fell
in
place,"
Madhuri
recently
told
Indian
Express.
Madhuri
Was
Quite
A
Mischievous
Kid
In
one
of
her
throwback
interviews,
the
actress
recalled,
"I
was
totally
unruly
and
disorganized.
I
would
throw
the
family
and
the
house
into
an
uproar
before
I
left
for
school.
I
was
such
a
chatterbox,
I
wouldn't
stop
talking
till
I
had
said
all
that
I
wanted
to. In
school
I
was
once
punished
for
aping
a
nun
who
sang
soprano.
On
another
occasion,
I
thoroughly
embarrassed
my
mother.
At
three,
I
was
asked
to
sing
a
classical
song
at
a
family
get
together.
Instead,
I
broke
into
a
cabaret
number
from
a
film,
replete
with
all
the
jhataks
and
mataks!
I
guess
therein
lay
the
dormant
beginnings
of
'Ek,
Do,
Teen'..."
Madhuri
Dixit
On
Her
Early
Days
"When
I
entered
the
industry,
I
used
to
wear
comfortable
clothes
because
even
at
home,
you'll
find
me
in
the
oldest
and
the
most
faded
clothes.
I
didn't
realize
that
once
you
are
a
heroine,
you
are
expected
to
dress
in
glittering
jewelry,
Kanjeevaram
saris
and
salwar-
kameez.
To
doll
up
so
much
at
such
a
young
age
took
me
time
to
adjust
to
the
idea,"
said
the
diva.
Some
Candid
Confessions
"I
was
the
kind
to
wear
just
kohl
and
lipstick,
even
to
functions.
Can
you
imagine,
I
used
just
about
any
soap
to
bathe
with,
even
Rin
at
times,
as
long
as
it
was
cleansing.
I
just
couldn't
communicate
if
there
were
more
than
three
people
around
me.
I
withdrew
into
a
shell
and
most
people
thought
I
was
sulking.
They
gave
me
complexes,"
revealed
Madhuri.
When
Madhuri
Dixit
Opened
Up
About
Her
Complexes
The
actress
confessed,
"I
didn't
like
my
nose.
I
didn't
think
I
was
beautiful.
I
had
this
perennial
pimple
problem
which
I
tried
to
control
by
drinking
a
lot
of
juice
and
liquid.
Initially,
I
lacked
confidence
and
felt
that
people
were
just
being
polite
when
they
said
I
was
beautiful.
Especially
since
I
was
not
being
accepted
as
an
actress.
I
wished
my
nose
was
smaller
and
that
I
was
a
little
taller.
I
was
envious
of
Waheeda
Rehman
who
has
the
perfect
nose
and
of
Dimple
and
Farha,
who
have
the
best
skins."
But
Now,
Madhuri
Has
A
Different
Take
On
Beauty
And
We
Agree
With
Her
"Beauty
cannot
be
defined
in
just
one
simple
line.
For
me,
it's
the
overall
personality
that
makes
a
person
beautiful.
It
is
who
you
are
and
what
you
stand
for
and
how
talented
you
are.
Then,
it
is
also
about
how
you
look
and
carry
yourself.
All
of
this
together,
defines
beauty. Everyone
has
to
grow
old.
It
is
how
you
do
it
which
is
important.
It
is
important
to
look
after
yourself
and
strive
to
look
good,
presentable
and
graceful,"
the
actress
said
in
a
Filmfare
interview.
