Diva Madhuri Dixit, who will be next seen Vishal Bharadwaj’s Dedh Ishqiya, feels her work commitments can always wait as family is her priority.
After marriage to Dr Shriram Nene in 1999, the superstar relocated to the US. In 2011, she shifted her base back to Mumbai along with her family.
“I love always being here. I have grown up here in Mumbai so for me it is like coming back home. It was different phase in my life, where I wanted to have a home, family, husband and children… everything that I had dreamt of,” Madhuri said in an interview here.
“Family is important to me, my priority is that. If I have some event to attend in my kids’ school then I go there first and accordingly plan things for the day.
It is about time management and I think every working woman goes through that it is not just me. You have to plan things keeping family in mind,” she said.
Both her children and husband love being in India and are quite happy shifting here.
“My kids love the informality that you have here, that friends can drop in here and they can also go to their place. The only thing they miss is space… that is parks. In Denver there were parks at every corner,” Madhuri said. On marrying a non celebrity, the 46-year-old actress says, “When I met Mr Nene I did not think who he was whether a celebrity or doctor.. I liked him as a person. We got along well and that was important. There was no set rule that this is what I am going to do.” (PTI)
