In the mesmerizing era of the 90s, Madhuri Dixit reigned supreme with her infectious smile, mesmerizing dance moves, and eyes that spoke volumes to her audience. She held the hearts of millions in her hands, captivating admirers from all corners of the world.
However, in 1999, she shattered the dreams of countless fans when she entered into an arranged marriage with Dr. Shriram Nene. Their intimate wedding on October 17 marked the beginning of a love story that has now spanned 25 years. As we celebrate their enduring bond, let’s journey back to a time when the enchanting Dhak Dhak Girl unveiled a humorous anecdote about her husband’s Bollywood knowledge.
In a candid interview on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, the legendary actress Madhuri Dixit shared a delightful story about her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene. She chuckled as she recalled how he could only recognize one Bollywood star at their wedding reception – none other than the iconic Amitabh Bachchan. With a twinkle in her eye, she recounted how Nene’s face lit up in recognition, exclaiming, “I think I know that face,” upon seeing the legendary actor.
Amidst laughter, Madhuri revealed that her husband was blissfully unaware of her stardom and cinematic achievements in India. She fondly narrated how she and her mother-in-law attempted to introduce him to one of her songs, only to be met with indifference. Instead of watching the track, Nene casually suggested they do something else, much to their amusement.
Reflecting on their unique bond, Madhuri mused about the similarities and differences that brought them together. She confessed that while an actor often carries the weight of their on-screen persona, her husband approached their relationship with a refreshing sense of detachment. Their love story blossomed against the backdrop of a traditional wedding ceremony at her brother’s home in Southern California, where she bid farewell to her illustrious acting career to embark on a new chapter abroad.
Today, Madhuri and Shriram stand as proud parents to two sons, Arin and Ryan, embodying a love that has endured the test of time. As we celebrate their 25 years of marital bliss, let’s raise a toast to this extraordinary couple whose love story continues to inspire and enchant us all.
