Madhuri Dixit is often admired for her graceful dance skills alongside her acting chops, as seen over the decades. However, during a recent interaction while promoting Mrs Deshpande, the actress opened up about one of her earliest memories of performing in public and how it resulted in people throwing objects at her.
What's Happening
- Madhuri Dixit appeared on ANI's podcast recently and revealed that she has been learning Kathak since the age of three. She added that she would often perform with her sisters.
- She recalled one particular Kathak performance at IIT Bombay's Mood Indigo festival and how chaotic it became just 15 minutes into the performance.
- Madhuri shared, "By the time we were about 15 minutes into the show, they were booing and throwing things, like little rockets, onto the stage. I got a little scared, but my sister said, 'No, we've got to stand our ground, and you've got to go on.' And we performed."
- She continued, "And so... the whole hall was full, enthralled by what was happening... I was like 10 or 12 years old. I was very young at that time..."
- Furthermore, Madhuri added how she performed with her sister for an hour and a half despite the initial hurdle and eventually won over the audience.
