Madhuri's Well wishers!

Renuka Shahane
She is a fabulous actor to work with! She is very professional and at the same time she is very down to earth. She never angers easily. Madhuri is very intelligent and a great person.

In the years gone by I do not think she has changed. I worked with here in 1993 and I met her only a few days back on the set of Aaja Nach Le. The only change I have noticed is that, as a mother, she talks a lot about her kids now. In fact both of us were discussing our kids!

We were so friendly during Hum Apke Hai Kaun (HAHK) that though I am not in touch with her, I met her on her on the set because I was shooting near by at Madh Island.

Madhuri is a good mimic artist and we used to have a gala time at the end of each day's shooting for HAHK.

She is very dedicated. Once she had to do that long dance sequence which contained many steps. She did it once and we told her that it was very beautiful but she still asked them to shoot it again. Then when we saw the second take she had performed even more beautifully than before. This is something that every actor should learn from. Even at this stage she tries to improve herself."

I wish her a balanced life of acting and of motherhood. I hope she gets what she dreams of and has a satisfying career."

Apra Mehta, co-star in Devdas
On the first day on the sets, where we were shooting a Mujra scene, she was very sweet to me. I introduced myself to her and then she also introduced herself by saying "Hi, I'm Madhuri Dixit." I told her that there was no need to introduce herself as she was a famous star. I was amazed when she told me that she watches Kyunki! At that time Kyunki was in its starting stage. She also said that she liked all the characters from Kyunki. It made me feel good.

I wish Madhuri many, many Happy Returns of the Day. For her career I hope that she makes the same impact like she has made with Devdas.

Ashok Khanna, producer of Uttar Dakshin
I was doing a film with Subhash Ghai when he suggested that Madhuri should act in it; she was his discovery. When I saw her at the shoot on the very first say I thought that she must have already done 15 or 20 films. Her level of work was always very high and I knew that some day she would become this huge superstar.

I think she is a fantastic actress. She was always on time and would do her work properly. Madhuri was very jovial. She would fool around and crack jokes with the cast and crew. Her mom would sometimes come to the sets with her as well. Everyday was a fun day for us because we would enjoy ourselves so much. It was more like a picnic than work!

I think Madhuri has improved with every film. She realizes her faults from her previous film and works on them for the next. She is a great student of acting.

We haven't been in touch because I was out of the country for a few years but I wish her a very long life and I hope she continues to do good work and entertain the people of this country.

Rohini Hattangadi, co-star in Pukar
I have worked with Madhuri in the film Pukar. I find her very attractive. She is a good dancer and a very good person to work with. I wish her luck in her life. I have watched her films over the years and she is a thinking actor. Any thinking actor matures with each film she does and Madhuri has matured with her films. She has grown as an actress and come a long way.

To be coming back into the film industry after two sons is a big thing. I know how difficult it is to balance a career as well as the house and I really wish me all the luck in it. I'm sure she will do a brilliant job.

Shivaji Satam, co-star in Pukar
Madhuri is a typical middle class Marathi girl. She has no ego hassles or attitude issues. She is very down to earth just like her parents. I remember Madhuri would be accompanied by one of her parents every time during the shooting of Pukar.

Once there was an awards function in Mumbai and I was shooting in Ooty. She took the trouble to call me personally and give me an invitation for me and my family.

Samir Soni, co-star in Lajja
She is a fantastic and wonderful actress. She is very professional. On the sets we used to talk about the U.S. as she was staying in Los Angles and I had done my college from the same city. We would always be discussing about city life.

On her birthday I would like to wish her a warm welcome back into Bollywood. I hope she has a very, very Happy Birthday!

Himani Shivpuri, co-star
I first met her on the sets of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and the moment she saw me she got up from her place. I was honored that she showed respect to me. During that time she was one of the top heroines of Bollywood but she never expressed it. She behaved as if she was a newcomer. Madhuri is very zabardast and a wonderful actress.

I remember one incident that happened in filmistaan. I was going for my shoot and suddenly someone screamed 'Himaniji' on the top of their voice. The moment I turned around to check I felt someone's hand on my shoulders- it was Madhuri. After that we sat and chatted for a long time. This happened after her marriage.

I mostly I get along with everybody but Madhuri will always be my all time favorite actress. I wish her all the best for her future.
