Madhuri Dixit



Madhuri wanted to become a micro-biologist - however that just wasn't destined to be.An offer from Rajishri Productions brought Madhuri her first role, the film `Abodh' (1986) released and forgotten, it wasn't until godfather Ghai saw Madhuri and gave her a tiny dance sequence in `Karma'(1986), that things improved.  The dance sequence was omitted from the final cut.  Ghai promised Madhuri better  roles, on the condition that she stop doing tiny roles in insignificant films.  Thus, Ghai gave Madhuri `Uttar Dakshin',and then a proper launch in `Ram Lakhan' (1988).  Ghai also took the step of putting an eight page advertisement in the trade magazines featuring Madhuri, proclaiming that producers of the calibre of Boney Kapoor, Yash Chopra and six others had signed Madhuri for their forthcoming projects.   It was all together another matter  that none of the forementioned producers had signed Madhuri for  their films.
