The life and times of Madhuri Dixit - Madhuri Menia

Born on the 15th of May 1967, Madhuri Dixit is among those Indian actresses who became the predominant face of Bollywood for almost a decade between the 1980s and 1990s. Coming from Maharashtra, Madhuri was initially more inclined towards the sciences and wanted to be a micro-biologist. However, as her dance training started attracting her, showbiz became her dream. Madhuri's first Bollywood movie was Abodh in 1984. The film was minorly successful and got Madhuri roles in a number of other films. Despite many roles, Madhuri hit success only four years later, in 1988, when she acted in Tezaab opposite Anil Kapoor. The Anil-Madhuri jodi was worked so well that the duo acted in several films together including Ram Lakhan, Kishen Kanhaiya and Beta. Madhuri's next big movie was Dil in 1990 opposite Aamir Khan.
