Khul Nayak director Subhash Ghai praises Madhuri Dixit: She never went ahead with market strategy
Subhash Ghai celebrated Madhuri Dixit’s 40 years in Bollywood by recalling her collaboration in the 1993 film ‘Khal Nayak’.

Subhash Ghai can’t stop praising Madhuri Dixit, as she completes 40 years in Bollywood. The duo worked together in the 1993 hit Khal Nayak and have been in a warm relationship ever since.
The filmmaker told ETimes that he always believed in her potential, and the decision to mentor her was one he never regretted. “Madhuri is the best example I can give through my 50 years of studentship.
His humility and dedication have been deeply ingrained in him since his early days, a trait imparted by his mother, who raised him with great values. Madhuri never went ahead with her marketing strategies. She was my best student since 1984.”

Ghai recalled how he introduced Madhuri to renowned choreographer Saroj Khan. The decision was strategic; Saroj Khan’s dancing skills were unmatched, and Ghai knew that Madhuri would benefit greatly from his guidance. “I remember when I handed him over to Saroj Khan for his film dancing skills, he learned the best from him. There is no one else he has shown as an on-screen dancer.”
Celebrating Madhuri Dixit’s 40 years in Bollywood, Whe Ghai concluded, “I am truly happy for her sweet nature and integrity. Her wonderful husband and talented children are proof of this loving personality. She Deserves all the happiness in the world.”
Madhuri Dixit made her acting debut in 1984 with Abudh and starred in hits like Hum Aap Ke Hain Koon..!, Dil Tu Pagal Hai and Poker.
