To say I’m her biggest fan boy won’t be an exaggeration. To say the whole nation is still ga-ga over the dhak-dhak girl won’t be a hyperbole either. They say women mature with age like wine and that’s certainly true in Madhuri Dixit Nene’s case. She makes the mere act of pouring water in a glass feel like a ballet. You feel like a deer caught in the headlights of an approaching car when you interview her because everything about her is so mesmerising. You begin to understand why the late MF Hussain was so besotted by her. Her husband must be a man of iron will to remain unfazed despite living with a goddess.

There is nothing like a perfect life. It’s what you make of it, right? I’m thankful for what I have. I don’t take anything for granted. There’s a lot of hard work behind everything I do. Nobody sees that. They just say ‘oh what a good life’. But we actors work, plan and devote our time, energies and emotions to the profession.

Which aspect of your life do you enjoy more – an actress, a wife, a mother…?
