Madhuri Dixit, celebrated as the Dhak Dhak girl of Bollywood, stands as one of the industry’s most talented and versatile actresses. Her journey began with the 1984 film Abodh marking the inception of a career that spanned four decades. Over the years, she graced the silver screen with exceptional performances in iconic films like Dil, Beta, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, and Dil To Pagal Hai, captivating audiences with her acting prowess, graceful dance moves, divine beauty, and charming persona.
Throughout her illustrious career, Madhuri shared the screen with renowned actors of the 80s and 90s, including Sunny Deol and Jackie Shroff. Their collaboration in the 1989 film Vardi earned them widespread acclaim. However, despite the film’s success, certain scenes featuring Madhuri drew objections, leading to an unexpected embarrassment for the actress.
In Vardi, Madhuri found herself in a supporting role with limited screen time, portraying a cancer patient. The film also required her to perform bold scenes alongside Jackie Shroff, depicting intimacy between their characters. Despite the film’s commercial success, Madhuri felt uncomfortable and embarrassed by the final portrayal of her character, compounded by the multiple cuts made to the film.
Jackie Shroff, known for his macho image, admitted feeling embarrassed about kissing Madhuri Dixit on screen in “Vardi.” Despite being dubbed “Sexy Shroff” and recognized for his on-screen charisma, he confessed to shying away from such scenes and relied on brandy shots to ease his discomfort during intimate scenes with co-stars.
Following “Vardi,” Madhuri starred in the blockbuster film “Ram Lakhan” alongside Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor. However, it was “Tezaab” that catapulted her to stardom, establishing her as a powerhouse performer. Despite her subsequent successes, Madhuri harbored regrets about her decision to take on bold scenes and a minor role in “Vardi.”
