In a career spanning over four decades, Madhuri Dixit remained one of the most celebrated Bollywood actresses. With remarkable performances in films like Dil, Khal Nayak, Koyla, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Devdas, Dil To Pagal Hai, she carved a special place in audiences hearts.
Apart from acting chops, she is also admired for her terrific dancing skills. From songs like Ek do teen to Didi tera dewar deewana, she stole many hearts with her spectacular moves. Despite being one of the highest-paid actresses of her time, Madhuri’s journey to stardom wasn’t any easy one. In 90s, she faced an unpleasant incident that occurred on the sets of Shanakht. She almost lost out a role for refusing to shoot a scene in bra. Actor and filmmaker Tinnu Anand became angry when he heard her saying no and felt that she could have expressed her discomfort before signing the film and not on the day of shoot.
In a conversation with Radio Nasha, Tinnu Anand revealed, “I narrated the entire sequence to Madhuri and I told her that you have to remove your blouse and for the first time, we should see you in your bra. And I am not going to hide anything behind a haystack or anything. Because you are offering yourself to help a man who is trying to help you. So it is a very important situation and I want to shoot it on the first day. She said okay.”
“I said you can design your bra, whatever you want. You don’t have to wear a bra bra but you can design your own bra, I don’t mind. But it has to be a bra because you are opening your blouse, offering yourself,” Anand added.
On the day of shoot, Madhuri backed out, leaving Tinnu furious. When asked what happened, she stated, ” I don’t want to do this particular scene.” I said, “I’m sorry, you have to do this scene.” She said, “No, I don’t want to.” I said, “Okay, pack up, say good bye to the film. I’ll cancel my shoot.”
Amitabh Bachchan, who was playing lead role in the film, intervened to play the role of a peacemaker as Madhuri was asked to pack her bags and leave. In Tinnu’s words, Big B said, “Let it be, why are you arguing with her? If she has an objection ‘ I said, ‘If she had to object, she should have done it earlier, before signing the film. Later, Madhuri came on board and her secretary requested Tinnu to reconsider, as she agreed to do the sequence.
