Madhuri Dixit vs Sridevi
Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi's rumoured rivalry during their heyday was a favourite topic of the tabloids and magazines. They never shared screen together.
Last year, during an interview with News 18, Madhuri said she and Sridevi maintained deep respect for each other's work.
She said, "Given the constraints, at that time, of commercial cinema - what works, what doesn't work, what is good, what is not good, what the family audience likes to watch... I think we still tried to play different characters, different roles within the constraints of commercial cinema and broke the glass ceiling by trying different kinds of characters, roles and that's what makes us unique."
"We both had respect for each other. I respected her as an actor and what she had achieved working in so many different languages, which is amazing, and being successful in all of them," she said and added, "She was also very respectful, very sweet."
