I have always been a Madhuri Dixit fanboy ever since her Tezaab days. She looked believable even in the most commercial of films. You couldn’t take your eyes off her. Filmmakers knew that and started writing meaty roles for her. Her male actors felt vulnerable doing films with her as they knew they’ll have to up their game in every frame to match her histrionics. Her dance numbers weren’t just cherry on the cake. Sometimes, they were the whole cake. People used to leave the theatre after the songs got over. Madhuri made a name for herself in the art circuit as well, shining in non-glam roles as effortlessly as she did in mass cinema. After now, through The Fame Game, she has conquered the OTT space as well. The series has offered her a chance to explore nuances of her character much more in depth than movies and the audience is in love with what she’s done. Excerpts from candid chat with the lovely actress who is always fun to talk to…
IF YOU WERE TO MEET YOUR CHARACTER, ANAMIKA ANAND, FROM THE FAME GAME WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HER?
I would tell her that things will work out. Don’t worry. Anamika is shown to have all the problems possible because the series is in that genre where you have to create that mysterious atmosphere. Yet at the base it’s all family drama and relationships.
HOW CLOSE ARE OUR MOVIES, AND THE LIFE YOU HAVE LED IN THE MOVIES TO WHAT IS SHOWN IN THE FAME GAME?
