Madhuri’s wax statue has reportedly cost 150,000 pounds and it was completed in four months by a team of sculptors and experts in hair, makeup and wardrobe. More

Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit, well-known for her natural acting talent and graceful dancing, is the latest Indian film star to join the A-list line up at London’s Madame Tussauds.

The 44-year-old has already posed in Mumbai for sculptors from the musuem and is expected to unveil her likeness in London in March, according the website of the famed wax musuem. It will cost 150,000 pounds to create and will take a team of sculptors, hair, makeup and wardrobe experts four months to create.

‘The decision to include Madhuri is set to delight Bollywood fans around the world as we are constantly inundated with requests to feature Madhuri. Her figure will make a stunning new addition to our Bollywood area which continues to grow in popularity every year,’ read the statement. More

Just after shifting back to India from USA , Madhuri Dixit, the Bollywood empress who ruled in the 90′s has been sending messages to film makers, asking them for some good roles. And Madhuri is particularly interested in working with one producer, her much loved, Mr Sooraj Barjatya. Thats because Sooraj was the producer who helped her to give the largest hit in her film “Hum Aapke Hai Kaun” with Salman Khan. Now she wants to work with Sooraj once more on something akin to HAHK.

Also Madhuri has come to know that Sooraj will be working with Salman in the next movie, and she is busy gathering information on the next project of Sooraj with Salman. Madhuri has also decided to meet the producer face-to-face someday this week.

Some other hits delivered by the Dhak Dhak girl are “Dil”, “Saajan”, “Beta”, “Raja”, “Dil To Pagal Hai”. In 2007 she did her last film “Aaja Nachle”. Now she is back again to B-Town. She appeared in a number of television shows like “Kahina Kahi Koi Hai”, “Nach Baliye” and “Jhalak Dikhla Jaa Season 4”. Mads is not only a beautiful heroine, she is multi-talented, she is a superb dancer as well as a fantastic actress. Source

Even at 44, the dancing diva of the silver screen creates magic with her moves and dazzling smile.

Madhuri is now the brand ambassador for Olay Regenerist which has just been introduced in India. “It’s a line of anti-ageing creams and comprises serums, night and day creams that contain amino peptide complex and I have been using it,” says Madhuri adding that her skincare regime includes a balanced diet and exercise along with Olay Regenerist. “I am glad this product is available here now so I won’t have to ask my friends and families to get it for me from abroad,” says the actor who has moved back to Mumbai with her family for good. “We are settling in. It’s great to be back but I was never really gone. I kept travelling back and forth.”

This also means fans of Madhuri don’t have to depend solely on her Twitter updates to know what she is up to. Which is probably why, she feels she was more independent in Denver where she could just drive to anyplace and do anything. “The last time I was here for ‘Jhalak Dikh La Jaa’ my kids asked me why are they calling you Madhuri Dixit? Aren’t you Madhuri Nene? I guess now they will get to know that their mom is a celebrity,” laughs the mother of two. More

The very name of Madhuri Dixit that had always been synonymous with class and style is back in the running and how.

After all the news about her staging a grand comeback, the whole of Bollywood is waiting with bated breath for not just her second innings, but also an array of brand-wagon that is knocking at her doorsteps.

According to reliable sources, the dhak dhak Madame’ is now all set to be the brand ambassador of Olay.

With this, Olay apparently seems to be signing up the right set of ambassadors for their anti-aging range. At first it was Karisma Kapoor, now it’s Madhuri Dixit.

The official announcement of the same is awaited. Source

Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit, who shifted base to Denver in the US after marrying Shriram Nene 12 years ago, is returning to India permanently.

‘For all my fans, we are relocating to India! It will be good to be back home,’ Madhuri wrote on microblogging site Twitter.

Madhuri tied the knot with Shriram Madhav Nene, a cardiovascular surgeon in 1999 and left her acting career to shift to Denver soon after. Post-marriage, Madhuri featured only in one film ‘Aaja Nachle’ in 2007, as she got busy with family, including two children.

This year, the actress came to India for three months to judge the fifth season of dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. After that she has been flooded with offers. Source

Just a whisper of Madhuri Dixit takes us back to the era when she was the undisputed queen of Bollywood. How can one forget the ‘Dhak Dhak’ gyrations that had the entire nation swooning with her!

After having made a comeback with a reality show and a couple endorsements, the news is rife that she has been signed for a big banner project.

And even on the brand endorsement front, our reliable sources say that she has been signed up as the brand ambassador of ‘Emeralds for Elephants’, a project designed to create awareness and raise vital funds for the protection of the critically endangered Asian elephant and tiger. Source

Madhuri Dixit, the dhak dhak girl was spotted at a suburban multiplex by scribes who had assembled for the premiere of 5TERS -THE CASTLE OF DARK MASTER. But she did not want her face to be seen and worked very hard to stay out of media attention. The accompanying picture is evidence enough.

The other celebs who thronged for the Adinarayan-hosted event were Siddhant Bhosle with sister Shruti Bhosle and mother Hema, Sheena Chohan, Yuvika Choudhary, Vipul Roy, Shahid Hasan, Shalini Sahuta, standup comedian Rahman, producer Sajid Qureshi, Tagore Krishna, Nirmala Kumari, Milon Mukherjee, Pooja Missra, Pawan Shankar, Aditya Singh Rajput among others.

5TERS is the first Indian film with as many as 1600 digital effects and an amalgamation of 2D-3D animation, a real technological extravaganza. Source

The Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi starrer ‘Ishqiya’ garnered much critical acclaims for its story, direction and characters…. While the news of its sequel was making rounds for sometime, it is now reported that the second version will be titled ‘Dedh Ishqiya’.

The movie like the original will be directed by Abhishek Chaubey and produced by Vishal Bharadwaj.

The speculations are that the director is considering roping in the ‘Dhak Dhak’ beauty Madhuri Dixit for ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ and keen to give her a prominent role in the film. More

Known for her breathtaking beauty and a scintillating smile worth a million, Madhuri had millions mesmerized by her vibrancies in acting and dancing. A danseuse to perfection she epitomized glamour with a touch of innocence for years together in the Indian Film Industry. The renowned painter M. F. Hussein hailed her as the ultimate in femininity and beauty.

The years between 1988 and that of 2000 reflected her very best in terms of performance, versatility and acclaim. Her marriage in 1999 to a cardiac surgeon of repute diverted Madhuri to a life of calm domesticity. After a break of three years due to marriage and motherhood, she returned to the folds of Bollywood with her awe inspiring performance in Devdas. It was followed by another awesome performance in Aaja Nachle.

The actress with an excellent flair for dancing had movies glittering with her sequences of dancing. Currently the judge of a dance based reality show; Madhuri disclosed her intention to hit the silver screen. While featuring in a chat show she has hinted at her possible comeback. But that is subject to the availability of script and content suiting her gracious talent. Source

This is serious news for all you Madhuri Dixit fans. No less than 5.6 per cent of homes with cable and satellite television watched dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on day one.

This was head and shoulders above Kaun Banega Crorepati, anchored by Amitabh Bachchan, which opened with a viewership of 4 per cent on the channel, while Shah Rukh Khan’s Zor Ka Jhatka on NDTV Imagine managed just 2.6 per cent viewership.

For years, there has been an unwritten rule in showbiz that married actresses, especially those with children, don’t sell. Dixit, now in her 40s, married a US-based doctor some years ago and bid adieu to the entertainment industry – but the industry does not seem ready to let go of her so easily. 

“I am glad people still think of me so highly and are willing to work with me,” she says. Source
