DYK Madhuri Dixit was labelled 'jinxed' actress? Here's why

Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit rules the hearts of moviegoers with her unmatched beauty, charm, intoxicating smile, acting prowess, and, of course, dance skills. Despite tough competition from Sridevi, Juhi Chawla and Raveena Tandon, the 'Dhak Dhak Girl' ruled the silver screen with her commanding screen presence. However, did you know that Madhuri Dixit was once labelled 'jinxed' actress? There was a time when no filmmaker was agreeing to cast Madhuri Dixit in their films. 

Recently, filmmaker Indra Kumar recalled the time during an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel.

Notably, Aamir Khan had only one hit film, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. When Indra Kumar signed Madhuri, who had no hits, for Dil with Aamir, it was okay. But when he signed her for Beta, everyone said, 'Paagal hogaya hai tu, iski koi film nahi chal rahi (Are you mad, none of her films are working?)’

Further, the filmmaker also stated that by that time already an interview had surfaced that claimed Madhuri a 'jinxed' actress. Moreover, it was also claimed whichever film she is in turns out to be a flop.

However, Indra Kumar didn't believe in the speculations and worked with Madhuri in Dil and Beta. The filmmaker stated that he was confident about Madhuri and knew she had something in her.

However, Madhuri proved everyone wrong after the audience was impressed with her acting prowess in movies like Tezaab and Ram Lakhan. After the audience lauded her performance, the Kalank actress' impression in front of the distributors changed. And, the rest is history.

Madhuri Dixit was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 along with Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri and Vidya Balan. The movie emerged as a blockbuster.
