She´s so chilled out and grounded! She appears to be mentally and emotionally stable. I loved her personality and what she has to say. I was actually inspired by her and my take away from her is to be confident in your own shoes, be your own person, do what you like, do not second-guess (trust in your intuition), do not regret and the enjoy the whole process. Thanks Madhuri!

[@hasinabegumsayed7664]

She's so graceful and not insecure of her peers. Love how she's mostly traditionally dressed

[@ReehatKitchen]

Hasina Begum Sayed plz subcrb me

[@anubhavshrivastava3465]

16:58 is my most favorite moment of Interview! Anupama and Madhuri must be knowing each other since 25 years now and that comfort we all can see! Love both

[@kaustic79]

Madhuri seems a bit detached from what she does. This detachment, which is not apathetic, is necessary to keep one's sanity intact in this mad world of entertainment. Newer, aspiring actors should learn from her. The film industry is awfully demanding; it gives as much as it takes away. If one is too engrossed in it, one might not be able to survive. A certain kind of detachment and pausing after a point is necessary...that helps.

[@peanutknuckles]

she is so free. not trying to prove anything but to be herself

[@CarolJuvenil]

I get so dumb seeing and listening to her. I just keep smiling without pause. That elegance, that brilliance, that smile. I just love and respect this woman so much. I cannot think of her as anything less than a fairy. That's probably the most stupid comment I've ever left on this channel, but I can't help it. It's Madhuri.

[@riteshkadam5258]

Carolyne me too feel the same...

[@drsareekakatkuriphysiother5376]

Madhuri is very intelligent. Very intelligent decisions she took in her life. Dint crave for fame after marriage. Came back when she felt right

[@iamkalpitanaidu]

There can be no one like her ever. She will always be my favourite actress and look at the way she talks. So gracefully and seems so sorted and humble.

[@JourneyWithin_Tiwo]

One thing I realised in all these Madhuri interviews over the last one month (and trust me I have watched them all, even the Marathi ones and I dont even speak the langugage), is the fact that she is not really 'over'selling herself. You see the recent celebrities in interviews trying to be witty/funny and 'sell' themselves as a brand but Madhuri doesnt do that. It could be because she is dis-interested/not an interesting personality, which is NOT the case. She is intelligent and witty and very committed. So probably it is the other reason, which is that she belongs to an era where actors were actors and not brands. What are your thoughts?? BTW this is coming from a HUGE Madhuri fan, to an extent that my friends wish me on her birthday. :) Cant wait to watch this movie.

[@alankarjoey258]

very good observation

[@agrawalnagpur2433]

yeah so true and best wishes from one big fan to another 👍🏼💐💐

[@JourneyWithin_Tiwo]

Agrawal Nagpur Her FAN family !! 😂😂😂😂

[@karcool8865]

Samdetoxed -saurav tiwari, so God damn true, exactly my thoughts!! That era of moderation and true dedication to the art, and being just like anyone else beyond it reflects through her

[@nagarajagyaneshwaram]

Samdetoxed - Saurav Tiwar

[@495407]

She's indeed a 'solid' human being (as Srk's reference brings to notice)...yet you can't help but be in complete awe of her!...she's that gorgeous!💓👍🙏

[@tony-pc4kd]

Actresses who are brilliant at interview 1. Kangana 2. Madhuri 3. Vidya 4. Zaira 5. Priyanka Even javed akhtar said once in event.. Bollywood has two anmol ratan madhuri n sri devi.. N still bollywood has not utilized thier full talent... So its really true anupama bollywood actually doesn't know wat to do with such talent its beyond thier capacity... Shame on u bollywood...

[@snezray2324]

Madhuri seems so sorted as a person! She is extremely genuine and talks from her heart, simplicity and elegance are her forte :) she will always be my favourite actress

[@tattu121]

She is so real...she has "aged" gracefully.....Madhuri is love.....

[@aashijitenderbasra]

She had face surgery and botoxed and that is NOT aging gracefully, this is called trying to hide your "age".

[@psmita15]

Loved this interview a lot. Wished it went on and on. Anupama truly said Bollywood doesn't know what to do with Madhuri who is a powerhouse of beauty and talent. Eagerly waiting for BucketList. Good to see her in an author-backed role, well this is what we fans were waiting for. Madhuri is a gem 💎

[@optimistics4358]

She’s so confident and calm, all the very best Madhuri in your BUCKET LIST Film.

[@upasanaadhikari6433]

Magical Madhuri. Such poise and grace. Admirable! !

[@vandita777]

She is so well spoken. Love her. Can’t wait to see her movies again.

[@gonebabygone9124]

One lesson you all gotta learn from the legend Madhuri i to be yourself and be real. Send this video to all the young actors\actress from this generation, this a free lesson to keep up your career.

[@vnnmichael]

MDCafe u think younger gen is dumb ?? Younger gen can handle personal life withou pausing career with excuses

[@gonebabygone9124]

vn v lol you said it I didn't!

[@tamaleesen2759]

I think it's a maharashtrian trait. I have seen them being very grounded and non judgemental.

[@sidhartha8444]

@@vnnmichael They know only crying in social media.Younger gen sucks.

[@Tasfias]

Mesmerized by this interview - Madhuri so beautiful, so well spoken, so calm - i could listen to her for an hour!!!! Actresses nowadays need to learn to speak like this. Looking forward to seeing Madhuri on the big screen! :)

[@mrinaaal]

She's so stunning and graceful!!!💜💜💜

[@gourabchoudury]

A true Queen...she's grounded despite her unfathomable talent! age has only made her more confident and graceful

[@anilatarannum]

Madhuri's laughter still gives me butterflies in my stomach 16:58 ❤️

[@kevinferguson7477]

Madhuri is beautiful, talented, skilful, intelligent and successful in her career.

[@sagarthorat9175]

SRK called her a solid man because she is very steady minded , unwavering, with a strong conviction which is usually displayed by iconic men. Ofcourse you cannot gender these characteristics, but if we have to generalize, these characteristics are attributed to a perfect man.. and he's right .. she is not at all "Chanchal", insecure.... Even many men are less of a "MAN" when compared to Madhuri..

[@travelwithsonjaa2598]

Such poise and elegance, she is truly a wonderful woman and fabulous actress! thanks for posting this interview, nice to watch an actress who is so true and secure in her own ways. She understands and goes with time, not there to run in mad race, has already made her position and using her grace and age with all senses. Loved her talk show completely

[@sidhartha8444]

Lovely to see Madhuri Maam after a long time , Great Interview...🤘

[@desi4peace]

Madhuri you are so beautiful! Love you for aging gracefully and always being grounded

[@ZiaSumi]

Her beauty is just ethereal

[@niksniks7933]

Hence it's been said that der were actresses and actresses and den der was madhuri dixit and after her again der are actresses... She is the epitome of dignity and grace. No exaggeration of her career pedestal, her movies, her pinnacles, herself. She is just what she is no matter she is on camera or off camera. That's what makes her the sweetheart of Bollywood. So much to learn from ds magical lady. I bow down to u madhuri ma'am.. U were, are and will always be... The one and only. Madhuri Dixit. Lots of love ma'am.

[@vrooom2936]

what do you do in the time you save after writing all the 'there' as 'der'??

[@niksniks7933]

Vrooom I use that saved time to reply to the pointers like u.... Anyways after posting here I share the video on Twitter with the same comment. And I believe u must have that amount of general awareness to know that Twitter has characters limit :) hence my there becomes der

[@vrooom2936]

Fair enough...Bbut at the same time, you find it is soooo very necessary to use apostrophe s'es like it's, that's and ma'am (btw what is ma'am?), avoiding which can easily save you some more time and space, and you can reply even more to pointers like me. :) And I am so generally aware that i know you can still not fit your above comment in one tweet. hehe

[@niksniks7933]

Vrooom 's is the short grammatical abbreviation for has and is. And ma'am is the formally accepted short for madam. These are the usual grammatical rules. No wonders if u don't know them. And surely I don't lack thoughts and the willingness to express them.. Hence it's all OK if I need 2 tweets to express what I feel for anything or anyone.

[@vrooom2936]

We can do this forever Nikhil. I was just kidding. Actually, it took me a minute to understand your first line with all dens and ders, which triggered me to poke you a bit. That's it. So chill. peace out.

[@DrVamsikrishna]

one thing common with all these senior actors is that...they are all content with themselves and their places in industry :)

[@amritaoxymoron1944]

Loved this, she is so calm and compsed, yet there is this vibe of energy and excitement!! Loved when you exchanged a mild hi-fi when talking about pimple remedy! It was so sweet to watch. And the way she spoke about SRK, most of the actresses love SRK. He is this incredible guy! Thanks Anupama mam. Cheers

[@FilmCompanionStudios]

Thanks Amrita! Yes we used to bond over pimples. After the interviewed, we both chatted about how it’s great now that we are older, we finally have clear skin 😄- Anupama Chopra

[@faneu7r603]

SRK is just a gentleman who treats his female co stars very well. I love his chemistry with Kajol, Rani and Madhuri. I think he was at his best with them

[@saeezende30]

Suchhh a positive person ❤❤❤😍😍😘😘😩😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i love you

[@AmolNimbalkar]

Great interview Anupama! I really like the fact that you are bringing the equality factor to the fore front. Some people might say that it is a very common topic these days in interviews but it is something we need to talk and in a nicer way hammer on the audience because it is high time people start quantifying a movie on that attribute as well. One thing I am a bit shaky on is comparison with Hollywood. Yes, that industry is successful but we have our own industry and we are not a “me-too” of Hollywood. Let us detach and try excelling in our own way rather than referencing Hollywood while quantifying our own film industry. Hopefully this is something we can look into. Best, Amol

[@payalgupta7776]

What a legacy she has built. Single handedly. Her name will come up as long as the business f movies will exist.

[@kaavyasurianarayanan8247]

just heard madhuri sing in DID Lil Masters.. she can do everythingg!!!

[@Springstepper]

Madhuri is such a luminescent personality, sounds sensible too. The interviewer on the other hand couldn’t be more cliched, i mean i could really pre empt the questions a below average film journo can ask a legend who is makin a come back. The lady is a yawn but like the legend madhuri is salvaging bad scripts, she salvaged this or it d be a yawnfest. Seems to be a common theme where the celebrities she interviews seem so much clued in and articulate than the wannabe cinephile this lady pretends to be

[@dina.s97]

Can't tell how lovely and graceful madhuri ji is in this interview! Wow! Speaking so fluently and so beautifully! Ah! I just love this woman 😍🌹 well, the interviewer also is amazing actually! 😍

[@TheSunshinefee]

I don't get it why the interviewer expects that Madhuri would be at work each year. It's normal for actors to have a break because there aren't many good scripts and not everyone gets picked for a role. Also, it's good to focus on your personal life as your professional life feeds off your personal life. In Hollywood and where I live in Holland, actors don't work each year. There are huge gaps because the market for roles is slim.

Did they ever talk about Siri Devi jee, just wondering? I am dying to hear about her from Maduhuri jee.

[@thesanskaarisoul]

Madhuriji respects her

[@subhanukhanal6724]

She should challenge the actor in her more. Try something counterintuitive like play a gritty, gory role like a Narcos or Sacred Games. That would further prove her mettle in acting.

[@hddav4231]
