Somepeople argue that in US there are heroines at 40.friends! understand something pls! in US the female acresses and even male actors get name,fame,and oscar winning roles only after the age of 30's or at 40's very few sustain success at their early yrs.
but indian audience are entirely different. here the case is vice versa for female actress,that most of them will attain fame and name in their early yrs.
(( but male actors can act frm 25 to 50 and above..that doesnot matter))
In our country the general public connects "reel" and "real" life of actors.That is why actors are winning the elections.same way to the heroines also.
Im also a fan of madhuri and like her dance movements,and that killing smile. if at all she wants to continue,she shud select matured roles that suits her look and age. she shudnt select the roles which she did before marriage as young,bubbly roles.
she can act.its her interest. but the past history will not repeat. Not anly you and me who are discussing here, are going to turn a movie "HIT" at the box office. There is another set of audience.(who can even vote for clowns like govinda:)).
Here after unfortunately,madhuri needs to wait for her film results with her fingers crossed. Instead she shud have quit the industry with dignity.
Madhuri is a true inspiration for every young women in india today. There's alot of speculation going on about her, bearing in mind she is a well talented actress and a great dancer, therefore she deserves a good role in movies because she is a complete actress. I am proud of her and i am a good afn of her. All I can say is good luck and all the very best, one should never give up their talents in life ! Regards from, Jeshma (Wales, U.K)

She looks old now, not the same old bubbly Madhuri Dixit. She is just going to make people forget her once lovely face. She should stay off of films.
Here is an indian actress who achieved her most ambitious dream of marrying a NRI doctor, had 2 kids and now is coming back to movies. Remember actresses like Mumtaz who had a disasterous comeback. Madhuri is definitely looking her age of 40 , I live in the USA and am older than her but still am mistaken as a sister to my own 22 yr old daughter. So what's the big deal!! She definitely looks haggard and sad, she leaves her husband, moves to Bombay with the kids and claims this way her children will get to know their cousins, when in fact all her siblings and their families are settled in the USA and that is why she was dying to settle here. Either these type of people think we forget or are stupid, as it is the bollywood types' stories change as per need. When she married this doctor he was still a medical resident- ie training in his field, and in India they were calling him a famous Cardiac surgeon--such crap only sells. They live in Denver, Colorado, yet they say she lives in Los Angelos, California. It is all hogwash and nonsense, maybe her husbands dollars are not enough for her and if they are she can donate her movie money to charity.

Renu - I am glad there are some observant and brainy people like you. Ordinarily I would expect everyone to notice all the things you mentioned but most people are so blinded by the media hype on personalities that they lose any sense of judgment. All your points are true.
To top it all she has been saying she has been in the USA for a decade and hence the pOllution of Bombay got to her and her kids. Yeah right!! Like we forgot when she came to the US. It has been less than 8 yrs. Why do people speak so much lies? And what you said about the doc is true too. Most likely she does not get along with him. And naturally so ....he had not seen a single movie of hers! That is thair level of connection. This seems a covert way of seperating. Tell the "foolish" Indians that she is coming back to Bolly cause she cant stay away (yeah like her job of doing a beta song or of dancing girl are such coveted jobs!!)
It is hogwash. I am soo glad to meet you Renu - you have a mind of your own.

Oh yes I forgot she has only been in USA for 8 yrs, some of us have been here over 25, still we go back to India, enjoy with friends and relatives, not put up our noses--at the pollution, at the noise-because we know India, we don't put up airs that we are superior etc etc--this is what she is doing after a mere 8 yrs--and expects bollywood to give her special treatment and all, who in their right minds would take small children to the studios and that too for a all night shoot- she is as dumb as the comments she makes. Incidently I am originally from Bombay and know how much most people enjoy in Bombay and elsewhere in India. If anything Bombay is much cleaner and more beautiful than before. I know people who saw her shopping in Walmart when they were in Gainesville, Florida and also now when they are in Denver; their comments were she looked so plain and ordinary that they almost did not even recognise her and she tried her best to divert attention to herself. Is that pathetic or what ???

LOL Renu you are hilarious but so right!! I am also from Bombay and after 15 years in the US too, have no issues going back to Bombay and she is trying to put on all these stupid airs. Whats interesting is she is taking her kids to a damn studio and that too for a night shoot. However my doubt is she is using this as an excuse and in reality may not be getting along too well with hubby dear else no one will leave their hubbies to be in another country "dancing" for other men. Sounds so immatured. And her look too is as if she is copying Basu and Sherawat. No originality. She is comeing back for a disaster return. Hema and Rekha acted past 40 but did not try to feign as if they are 20.

all the comments here are so very true..no one would really come back leavng husband in other country for dancing and romancing other men in public..and taking so small kids to the studios..i thnk she couldnt tolerate the fact that ppl in othercountries dont give a look to her..comon shes had her share of fame,money,success y again cme back....ego dosent allow to settle elsewhere..bt now shes cme back she shd try different mature roles like juhi,rani,kajol,tabu who were far bttr than her in selecting roles and performing..she shd dance now acc to her age and nt the same choli ,xy dances (none wre the classics lk those of vyjanti,hema,waheeda,sri)..and yes in real shes very ordinary infact my frd dint recognise her at mumbai airport and blind fans r thnk her as some goddess and compare her to madhubala......sad thing..and yes she should do soem charity for the needy in india who has given her money,fame....these ppl really just think for themseleves..and if shes suffering so mch frm pollution and crwd she shd go back to US..these ppl jst cme here act,earn money, and go and live in rich countries doing ntg for the home country......v sad..ppl shd really understand there are many more gr8 women and men who do gr88 noble jobs and serve the country

Poeple like her cannot stay away from limelight because in the US no one knows her except Indians. She said recently that she will only do films that will be shot in the US as her family needs her, now she is doing the right opposite. As you pointed out, these people think that we have poor memory.

What is wrong if a married woman with kids fulfils her ambitions? If a family moved across countries because the husband got a new job, no one will bat an eyelid. If she wants to come back here and work(not that I am a big fan of hers) and the family is OK with it, it should not bother anyone.
RE:RE:RE:madhuri definitely is looking old & haggard.

Mu mail does not say that what she is doing is wrong. I just pointed out what she had said in one of the inteviews in connection with the mail written by Ms.Renu. Nothing these stars say about themselves should be taken serious.
She looks like a 40 year old woman and no matter what clothes you wear and what hairstyle you keep, cannot hide age.
She is a talented actress and will do a good job of any role given to her. In the process of chalenging people that she is still the same old Madhuri, She should not try to make a fool of herself by taking roles meant for younger women because she does not look young. Should take assignments that fit her age. As far as acting is concerned, if her hubby has no problems staying away from her then she has nothing to be worried about.
She is definitely looking older obviously, and so far we do not know what kind of role she will be playing. I harldly think she would do the role of a dancing teenager. Whatever she will do I think will be done with dignity.And regarding her dress sense, I feel it has changed bcos she is no longer staying in India. Her dress sense is reflecting the place where she is currently located.
Madhuri looks stunning as ever! She is the most versatile actress I have seen in past 15 years and only Kajol and Rani can compete with her in terms of acting standards.
Wow, I m happy to see her again. a wormth welcome to her. She is the most beautiful women in this world. why people always talk abt only her smile. why not her beauty.She has a perfect face - her eyes,nose,lips,face shape,smyle all is best and perfect shaped like it is mathmatically created by god.
hope all praise her beauty instead of that ugly looking ass ash.
1. She definitely looks old 2. Crash dieting is the reason 3. She does not look happy 4. She is trying too hard 5. Her smile is forced, there is no inward charm 5. She had a successful career for 10 yrs
Questions
1. Why would she want to come back? 2. Why would she leave her husband? 3. Why would she choose to "dance" for people than care for her kids?
Conclusions
There is nothng wrong in acting after any age. But why should she dress, do make up and dance like the sherawats of the world instead of be one who has already achoeved some status and hence take on some mature character roles?

So you mean there are different set of rules for actors and actresses? Men over 40/50 can play school boys but a woman arnd 40 cannot play 20 something?
And the questions you posed are typical stereo type...its really none of our business.
Whether she wants to do character roles, lead roles lets leave it to her, rest(outcome) lets leave it to the audience.
RE:RE:mystery behind madhuri's return
by simransingh on Mar 10, 2007 07:31 AM
no sameer my point is not on whether she should act or not...she is a good actress and if she wants she should. Question is why would a woman want it if she is happy in her domestic life? Which woman would otherwise like to leave her husband in another country and "DANCE" for other men to ogle on while her kids look on??
I am an audience I can opine just as you can. I think it is SILLY to SIZZLE for other men on screen at 40 and that too after having had a successful career in the past. She is lowering herself to the likes of Sherawats and Basus. Pathetic!1 Madhuri can do much better than that!!

I appreciate that you agree that she should act if she wishes too, but I don't like the fact that you say that she shouldn't leave her husband and kid behind to act.
I am a working mom (software engineer) and I work not for money or because I want to flirt with men (like Taliban people will say about women who work in any industry and you are implying that that's why Madhuri is chossing to work). But I work because I like the work I do and I know I am good at it.
A woman can be a good wife and mom and work in any profession she likes and is good at. Just like men. You don't say that a (rich) man is being a bad husband/dad just because he works!

by simransingh on Mar 10, 2007 09:06 PM
Hahahaha you must be joking. The bolly world is not "any" profession. Her role of a "nachnewali" is not any job. If you have an latent desire to do such things, while being married, leaving your hubby in another country and letting your kids watch you DANCE for others that seriously means there is somehting seriously wrong with the picture you have painted for us. Either you are seperating from your husband. Or you cant stay away from limelight and are willing to do anything for that even become a sherawat after so much success or think people's memory is bad or that we are all stupid.
Her move to come back is a BAD one. At least not in the roles she has chosen. She should have taken mature actress roles what would befit her. This will lead only to her own disaSter.

Simran very surprise to believe that even in todays world there are people like you with so poor mentality towards women. Do you really think after marriage women have no right to entertain herself or to work in a profession where she desires? Its not men but woman like YOU who everytime in jealous mood thinks wrong for WOMEN.

Ms Rachna
You are quite foolish. I never said there is anything wrong in working at any age. But one should take proper roles that suit your age and stature. If she wants to act like some younger dancer, she is calling for her disaster. Cause she looks old because of all that creash dieting.
