Madhuri Dixit Mother Death: The mother of Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit Nene, Snehlata Dixit, passed away at 91 years old this morning at 8:40 am. The cause of her death has not yet been disclosed.

It has been reported that her cremation will occur at 3 pm today at a crematorium in Worli, Mumbai. Madhuri Dixit and her husband, Shriram Nene, issued a joint statement to share the news of her passing. "Our beloved Aai, Snehalata Dixit, passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by her loved ones," the statement read.

Madhuri Dixit has frequently talked about her close relationship with her mother. She once revealed that her mother's behaviour towards her remained constant even after she became a successful actor, and she would reprimand her if her room was disorganized. Last year, Madhuri Dixit said, "I mean, even when I was working in films, my mom used to scold me if my room was messed up and things like that. So that's how I was brought up. And that's how I am."

In 2022, on her mother's 90th birthday, Madhuri Dixit shared a heartfelt note on social media. "Happy Birthday, Aai! They say a mother is a daughter's best friend. They couldn't be any more right. From everything that you've done for me, the lessons that you've taught have been the biggest gift for me from you. I wish you only good health & happiness!" Madhuri had written, along with rare and unseen pictures of her mother.

In 2018, Madhuri Dixit and her mother sang a song together for the first time. For the unversed, Snehlata Dixit was a trained classical singer, and the folk song they sang, titled Rangi Sari Gulaabi Chunariya, featured in Madhuri's film Gulaab Gang, composed by Soumik Sen.

May her soul rest in peace!
