News
oi-Staff
By Super
Actress
Madhuri
Dixit,
who
is
called
the
'dhak
dhak'
girl,
feels
that
her
contemporary
actresses
are
going
strong
even
today
in
contrast
to
the
perception
that
are
fading.
The
popular
belief
is
that
actors
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan,
Aamir
Khan,
Akshay
Kumar,
Ajay
Devgan-
who
are
in
their
40's
are
ruling
Bollywood
even
today,
and
heroines
who
starred
opposite
them
in
their
heydays
are
either
faded
away
from
arc
lights
or
content
with
character
roles
but
Madhuri
does
not
believe
this.
"It
is
great
to
see
all
actors
up
there.
They
all
have
worked
hard.
Juhi
Chawla,
Kajol,
Sridevi
all
are
doing
wonderful
work
even
today.
One
should
not
generalise
that
actresses
of
our
times
are
not
around,
it
is
not
right," said
Madhuri.
"All
these
ladies
are
doing
a
good
work.
They
are
going
strong.
They
are
making
their
own
space," she
added.
Even
after
her
marriage
with
US-based
Dr
Shriram
Nene
in
1999,
Madhuri
made
a
come-back
and
continued
to
act
in
films.
"I
have
always
worked.
Even
after
getting
married
and
going
to
the
US,
I
did
Devdas,
Lajja,
Pukar,
Hum
Tumhare
Hai
Sanam,
Aaja
Nach
Le,
and
currently
doing
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa.
I
did
a
lot
of
work
after
marriage.
So
it
was
not
that
I
left
and
went.
I
have
always
been
here,"she
said.
Madhuri
dismissed
reports
that
she
will
be
performing
a
special
song
in
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
upcoming
magnum
opus
Ram
Leela
with
Ranveer
Singh.
"Nobody
has
approached
me
for
the
song.
And
there
is
no
talk
about
it.
I
don't
know
from
where
these
stories
are
coming
from,"
the
actress
said.
Madhuri
Dixit,
whose
item
song
ghagra
with
Ranbir
Kapoor
is
topping
the
charts
of
late,
is
one
of
the
judges
in
the
dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhla
Jaa
and
has
two
films
Gulab
Gang,
and
Dedh
Ishqiya
in
her
hand.
