Madhuri Dixit: I didn’t take up too much work earlier because my kids were young

Madhuri Dixit is one of the most successful actresses in the Bollywood. Her beauty and elegance charms the audience till date. Her last released film Gulaab Gang won her accolades from the audience and the critics. Now, Madhuri Dixit is set to star in Total Dhamaal alongside Anil Kapoor. She will be reuniting with Anil Kapoor on screen after 18 years. Besides this, Madhuri Dixit will also be debuting as a producer with Marathi film Bucket List. Talking about doing great movies this year, Madhuri said to a leading Indian daily, "I didn’t take up too much work earlier because my kids were young. My priority was my family then. It still is, but since my kids have grown up now, I decided to do more work."

''I work my schedule around them. I always make sure that I am at home on time, so I can be with them. Also, I have always agreed to do something only when I feel strongly about the project. That was the case with Total Dhamaal and Bucket List, so I agreed to do them,'' she added.


Speaking about the film industry undergoing positive changes, she said, ''The best part is that everything is ready when you reach the sets. From the costumes to the make-up, it’s all so well managed. This makes our work so easier.''

Adding further, she said that she is yet to adapt a certain change in the industry, the actress said, "I find film promotions a little boring. In the past, we didn’t have to promote a movie so aggressively, but I guess it’s the need of the hour."
