Madhuri Dixit Controversies

  • While Madhuri Dixit was trying to make a name for herself in the industry she romanced Vinod Khanna in Dayavan who was 20 years his senior. She went ahead and shot an intimate kissing scene where their kiss sparked a controversy.
  • Being at the top has a price and Madhuri Dixit paid the price of creating rivals in Bollywood. While Sridevi was already a reigning queen in the 1980s Madhuri made a strong impression on filmmakers with Tezaab. Her rivalry with Juhi Chawla was also well-known at the time but Gulaab Gang put an end to it.
  • Madhuri faced the wrath of the Maharashtra government a few years ago. She declined an offer to be a brand ambassador for Maharashtra Tourism because she did not receive the compensation she desired. However Madhuri’s request for a whopping 9-10 crore for being Maharashtra’s brand ambassador prompted people to label her as a greedy woman.
  • Rakesh Nath the actress’s manager had been her companion for 28 years. Finally Rikku received a phone call from Madhuri who stated that her husband would allegedly look after her work. She reconciled with her man however when she invited him to a special screening of one of her films.
  • Madhuri Dixit was the queen of hearts in the 1990s! She dated Sanjay Dutt in several hit films including Saajan and Khalnayak which fueled their off-screen romance. Madhuri was also linked to Anil Kapoor in addition to Sanjay Dutt.

Shilpa Shinde Slams Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 Judges

Actress Shilpa Shinde, who was one of the contestants on the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 and recently got evicted, shared two videos on her Instagram profile, in which she slammed judges Madhuri Dixit, Karan Johar and Nora Fatehi for their rather strict style of judgement. She claimed that the judges are unfair to the celebrity contestants on the show. Shilpa Shinde said in the video: “Maine Nia ka last performance dekha. Uske upar jo points diye aur comments kiye main chup rahi. Iss baar jo hua performance ke baad, jo comments kiye gaye. Karan sir kya Dharma production ki film dene wale hai? Aapko kya chahiye, aap Oscar dene waale ho? Aap National Award dene waale ho? Bataiyye (I saw Nia’s last performance. I stayed silent on the points and comments given to her. But this time, what took place after Nia’s act, the comments that were given. Karan sir, are you going to sign them for a Dharma production film? What do you want? Will you give them an Oscar or a National Award? Please tell).”
