“Indra Kumar On Signing ‘Jinxed’ Madhuri Dixit In Beta”

Madhuri Dixit, once considered a “jinxed girl” in Bollywood, faced a rough start in her career. In a recent interview, filmmaker Indra Kumar, who directed her in Dil and Beta, shared how people advised him against casting her due to her string of flops. At the time, Madhuri had no hits to her name, and her image was considered unlucky. However, Kumar saw something special in her and decided to work with her.

Her breakthrough came with Tezaab in 1988, followed by Ram Lakhan, which turned her into a superstar. From being labeled a flop actress to becoming one of Bollywood’s most iconic stars, Madhuri’s journey is a true testament to her talent and perseverance. Despite the early doubts, she has maintained her humble attitude and remains beloved by fans today.
