"It is something you cannot help. You find yourself stupidly smiling every time Madhuri smiles. And thats the kind of impact she has." - Karan Johar
"Post Madhuri Dixit, I don't think there's been any queen bee. The crown lies, without the queen." - Karan Johar
"Dancing is a blend of two thing, in cinema specifically its about your footwork - legworkof course and its about your face work. And Madhuri excells in both. And thats a rare combination. She just adds so much expression - dance is expression - and her expression is just fantastic. And I think that is just Madhuri Dixit and nobody, I repeat nobody, on Indian cinema can move, dance and express in a song the way Madhuri Dixit does." - Karan Johar
"In the '90s, any sari worn by Madhuri Dixit would instantly spawn a million copies.Young girls shopping on Mumbai's Linking Road or in Delhi's Karol Bagh wouldn't hesitate to ask for the Hum Aapke Hain Kaun sari." - Karan Johar
"Madhuri's someone I've known for years now, ever since Dil To Pagal Hai when I worked with Yashji. She just has to smile and that makes your moment that day... I feel really sad that I couldn't ever work with her. She was on her last couple of years when I started. I interacted with her on Dil To Pagal Hai and feel special because I did. I'm dying to work with her and Sridevi. They really were the last of the empresses. Everyone else now are buddies ' we're on back-slapping terms. That whole euphoria, aura, status'" - Karan Johar
"Madhuri Dixit is the most solid man Ive met in the industry.Yeah, you heard right. Shes truly like a man. Shes the most solid thinker, solid emotionally, solid believer. And someone who loves her parents immensely. And of course, her talent is unquestionable. Shes the complete Indian film heroine. Shed always help me with my dancing. Id always dance a step behind her so I could follow her. Like in Koyla I would tell her just be half a step ahead of me, so itll be easy for me. And shed oblige. I hope she comes back. I miss her. I miss seeing her more than I miss working with her. To me Madhuri is the epitome of acting, of love and friendship. She is closes to my heart. And from her Ive learnt the most. She is the only one I feel Im not as good as." - Shahrukh Khan
"I think you decrease the importance of Madhuri if you call her Madhuri the Dancer. I think Madhuri is a complete actor. And I can never ever think of Madhuri just as a dancer, though all the dances Ive ever done with Madhuri she helped me immensely. Im pathetic and she was really you know... in one or two films shes held my hands, when it seemed Im leading her shes actually leading me. YOu know, when I came into the industry she was a superstar, agreed to work with me, taught me a lot of stuff and I think Madhuri is one of the most complete actors Indian cinema has ever seen." - Shahrukh Khan
"For me Madhuri is the strongest man Ive ever met. Shes very very strong-willed, shes a fantastic actor, very very professional and when I worked with her first time I learned that there is greatness in giving." - Shahrukh Khan
"She is the most beautiful. One of the actors I have learnt a lot from. Madhuris always been there because she is in the heart. And I can comment on her dancing, she taught me, saved me from bad dancing." - Shahrukh Khan
"You know Im very close to Madhuri... I have a lot of warm feelings towards her. Many a time Ive said this, that she has shown me so many times how to dance, helped me with my scenes, hid me behind her if my dance steps were wrong like in Dil To Pagal Hai." - Shahrukh Khan
"I like the way she dances. She has learnt Kathak, thats what I hear. But basically with learning a little bit of Kathak or any form of classical dance it helps a lot in a film dancing. And we can see that in how beautifully she dances." - Hema Malini
"Look at Madhuris songs: Ek Do Teen, Mera Piya Ghar Aaya... and what have you? I mean look at those songs adn you will go mad completely! And here she was sitting as Chandramukhi in a set that was I think the biggest ever in Indian cinema and the way she performed! Every minute was a dream and Saroji was there and the first time she went on the floor and did that Maar Dala step I whistled and I clapped and it was completely an excersive of expression. Look at those change-overs within a shot, within a shot, every maar Dala is different, every moment is different and I was completely in awe of that performance and I wished I could keep shooting that song for another year, because you never get tired of watching her dance." - Sanjay Leela Bhansali
"Be it the character of the femme fatale or a prostitute, only Madhuri can combine that wistful tragic look. Hers is a blend of a flawless face and fine acting." - Sanjay Leela Bhansali
"Madhuri, Madhuri, Madhuri and only Madhuri." - Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the question who is his favourite actress.
"I have never seen a better actress than Madhuri. She is showbiz personified. No one has ever been able to replace her as an actress." - Sanjay Leela Bhansali
"She is a wonderfully graceful dancer and never looks unbecoming, no matter how cheap the movements are." - Sanjay Leela Bhansali
"Madhuri is a kind of dancer who looks fantastic no matter what she does and how she moves! She puts her heart and soul in her dancing. Out of the many actors who I have choreographed, she is the only one with whom I can experiment. I have given her so many weird dance steps but she still did it with ease!" - Saroj Khan
"It's her expression, that's the show stealer. However tough the steps might be, she doesn't let go of the perfect expression." - Saroj Khan
"I don't think I'll ever find another Madhuri. She's in her own league. Nowadays, actresses make a face at rehearsal, but Madhuri would go that extra mile." - Saroj Khan
"When we were doing the take for the song (Chane Ke Khet Mein) which involved Madhuri dancing around Deepak Tijori, with Dholak in his hands, in a single sequence.. there were 15 retakes and shot was not getting completed. In the end Madhuri got a bit frustrated , tired rather, and went into her van. We all were waiting outside expecting response from her like "lets pack up" or "let me rehearse today and will do it tommorow" or "lets split the sequence in two halfs" or "give me some easy steps" etc. But this girl, Madhuri, comes out looking all fresh and says lets do it and the shot got OK in first take. Thats her. Trying her best to not let others (co-actors dates, director's time, producer's money, her guruji's effots) down." - Saroj Khan
"Comeback! What comeback are we talking about? She had never left the industry in the first place and continues to look as fresh as her Ram Lakhan days." - Jackie Shroff
"Bollywood and Madhuri are synonymous with one another. You cannot talk about Bollywood without mentioning her. When she quit films and got married we lost our Kohinoor. I am absolutely mad about her, shes got the most dazzling smile and her dance movements can give any actress a run for her money." - Jackie Shroff
"People are only praising Karisma because it was Madhuri she was standing up to. It was like if anyone gave a good shot in front of Dilip Kumar people used to clap "Wow! What a performance!" - Jackie Shroff
"I fell in love with her when I was six and I watched her do the Ek Do Teen number in Tezaab . I've grown up watching her films. And every time I see her on screen, my heart starts beating dangerously fast!" - Ranbir Kapoor
"I remember the first time I met Madhuri. Someone I know brought her to meet me. This is before I became a director and she a star. The first thing that struck me was her innocent, expressive face. She was just a child, and awfully thin. I actually recommended a diet for her so she could put on a bit of weight. I have no idea if she followed it, but she changed drastically soon after. That first meeting is still imprinted in my mind, particularly because I had no idea that the frail little girl would go on to become such a huge star. She was polite, quiet and very humble. I must be the only director lucky enough to have worked with her in three movies. I must say that she grew by leaps and bounds with of them. What is striking is that Madhuri, the person, remained the same throughout - always humble, friendly, sharing a good rapport with co-stars and the crew. She has been a fine actress to work with and, more importantly, a great friend. I just met her last month and we discussed a few ideas. I would love to make more films with her, if I get the right subject. Apart from wishing her a very happy birthday and best wishes, I would want to urge her to make a comeback quickly because this industry needs an actress of her calibre." - Indra Kumar
"She got 100% everywhere - in emotion, in anger, in comic,dance, whatever emotion you needed. Thats areason why she became such a big star." - Indra Kumar
"It was during the shoot of Swati. I remember seeing a sweet girl sitting at the corner of the sets with her mother all the time. I didn't know who she girl. I was the hero of the film and my heroine was Meenakshi Sheshadri, who was a big star then. The girl was a reflection of perfect Indian beauty. I could see some kind of magic in her eye, but I didn't introduce myself. I only felt that she had the beauty of three great Indian heroines - Madhubala, Nargis and Vyjantimala. When I asked about her, I was told her name was Madhuri Dixit. She had the role of a tomboy in the film and was playing Meenakshi's stepsister... Madhuri had an insignificant role but, while shooting, I found that her body, eyes and acting really synchronized well. It was unbelievable for me to see a first timer give such a brilliant performance. She rose from nowhere to become the biggest star of Indian cinema. No actor today can match her peak. One of my biggest regrets in life is never getting a chance to work opposite her or direct her. I hope to get a chance to do that in this lifetime. I think what set Madhuri apart from other heroines of her time was her sincerity. She has a million-dollar smile that resembles that of Madhubala and the actress Nimi. She manages to look sensuous in whatever she wears -- Indian or Western. She is also an amazing dancer. I can't think of any actress today managing to do what she did. I envy other heroes who got a chance to act with her. If Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today, he would have painted Madhuri instead of the Mona Lisa." - Akbar Khan
"She is a complete actress. There were some like Nargis who were known for their performance, Madhubala for her beauty and Vyajayanthimala for her dancing, but Madhuri is 'all-in-one.' She is complete. A phenomenon. Ashok Kumar once said that she is one 'complete' actress that India has produced in 100 years. I totally agree with him. There is just one thing Madhuri lacks: a single memorable hit that can be remembered in future. The people who handled her work were wrong. She came from a middle class background and, therefore, the agents she had were not good. She went to the commercial industry, into the hands of the wrong people. She is talented and a dedicated professional, but she still doesn't have memorable roles like Nargis did. As we didn't have even one creative director then, she had to do all the commercial dance movies. And I arrived too late in the industry... We do not have any great creative directors here who can exploit her talent. We had Satyajit Ray in Bengal and Adoor Gopalakrishnan in the south. The only good director in Bollywood is Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Therefore, though she had a successful career, she doesn't have that one movie which will remind us of her exceptional work. I first met her in 1995, on my 88th birthday. She was in Boston giving a live performance. Due to her popularity, there were 40,000 people just to catch a glimpse of her. Even people on wheelchairs were there. The audience whistled during her dance. She was a craze. When I met her, she told me we could cut my birthday cake in her room. I told her she was in the wrong hands, only doing commercial movies and that I would like to do a lot of things for her, to which she replied: 'Aap bahut der se mile' (I met you pretty late). She was very humble, down to earth and would treat everyone equally. She had no airs. I once saw her meeting some of her fans, and being very friendly with them. I told her she shouldn't be so close to so many people as one never knew what intentions they had. She replied that she was where she was because of her fans. Now she is married and a mother, and doing justice to that role as well. After her first child, I had stayed at her home in America. She is a good wife. She takes care of every detail in the house. She takes care of her child on her own and doesn't have a nanny. And, she is a good host. When her husband asked me if I would like to go sightseeing, I told him there was no need to go out when there was such a nice movie at home - Madhuri playing the role of housewife and mother. It was a perfect picture. I feel Madhuri should make a comeback again. And I strongly feel people will appreciate it." - M.F. Hussain
"She wasn't a typical Bollywood girl even at the height of her popularity. Often, I remember a small scene from Hum Aapke Hain Koun... it is shot by moonlight created in a studio. The way she performs, her total surrender to the camera is what beautiful heroines are about. " - M.F. Hussain
"I dreamed of making a film when I was 15 years old. Then I waited 60 years till Madhuri was born, and it took another 25 years to make a film. I see Madhuri as the essence of Indian womanhood. My paintings were incomplete until I made Gajagamini. With Gajagamini, my paintings became complete." - M.F. Hussain
"Nothing can dim my obsession for Madhuri Dixit. No one has surpassed her grace, her skills, her pure Indianness. " - M.F. Hussain
"It's not that she's the only one in the whole world. But particularly for the big screen, in acting and how she used to play her roles ' there, she was the master' a great artist. Certain actresses specialise in different things: tragedy, comedy and so on. But she was a complete actress. In that way, I think Indian cinema has not seen such a complete actress in 100 years." - M.F. Hussain
"Madhuri is the most complete woman, the greatest star we have ever produced, the most amazing replica of Indian womanhood. The moment I saw her, I knew that Gajagamini had to be made. With her in the main role. She is beautiful, of course. But she is an actress of the kind we have never seen. It is her body language that is at the core of her art. Not just her jhatkas, her dhak dhaks. She is wonderful at that too but what I am talking about is much, much more. She has a sensuality that will redefine womanhood forever. Remember that song, Didi tera devar diwana? Remember how she bends down and takes those five steps backwards and bursts into song. I have never seen anything quite like this. It is outrageously sexy and yet almost spiritual in its impact. That is why I begin the film with her breaking out of a canvas of mine and becoming real. The real Indian woman." - M.F. Hussain
"She is wonderful. She is a treat. Just like you give chocolate to a child, for us actors its Madhuri Dixit. She is a delight to work with. Its a pleasure to watch her onscreen. She is an actress, dancer and a performer. She is a very lovely person. She looks the same like what she looked like in Mohabbat. I cannot make out the difference between her age in Hum Aapke Hain kaun and Aaja Nachle. I think she is the same. She has maintained herself so well that she is looking just as young. I think she is just the same and a very simple person. She is very down to earth and lovely to work with." - Akshaye Khanna
"I like Madhuri Dixit the most. Her style, her facial expression... bahut kamal ki actress hai, kamal ki actress hai." - Akshaye Khanna
"I was fortunate enough to come close to her through all my films. I wooed her and married her. I fell in love with her and she reciprocated...on celluloid at least. I think we made the best screen-pair." - Anil Kapoor
"Madhuri Dixit is the best dancer of this country." - Anil Kapoor
"Madhuri - youre not a good actress. Your e not a good dancer and youre definitely not a good human being. Because I feel that you are a fantastic actress. And outstanding dancer. And a fabulous human being. And that is from the bottom of my heart." - Anil Kapoor
"To be in the same frame with her is really nice but to dance with her is a little embarrasing, because shes exceptional. There can never be another Madhuri Dixit and nobody comes close to her." - Kunal Kapoor
"I've worked with a lot of actors whose fans I am. But Madhuri was extra-special. I told her I've seen Hum Aapke Hain Koun as many times as M.F Husain saab. It took me a while to realize she was a normal human being. For a while I'd be shocked when she would get sweaty while working. How can Madhuri Dixit feel the heat? She's too normal." - Kunal Kapoor
"Madhuri is par excellence." - Sridevi
"When I think about Madhuri the first thing which comes to my mind is her gorgeous smile. I think shes got the most beautiful smile in the world. Shes just one amazing actress and I compare her absolutely with my mum Nargisji, Madhubala... Shes on that league you know." - Sanjay Dutt
"Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic." ' Sanjay Dutt to the question what he thinks about Madhuri as an actress.
"I really really admire her. Shes beautiful, she dances amazing, shes a brilliant actress. And shes a great person. Like what else?" - Konkona Sen Sharma
"Sharing acting space with Madhuri didn't make me that nervous. I knew I could manage to hold my own in that department. But one has to be totally crazy to even attempt to match dance steps with Madhuri. I thought I'd faint when I had to dance with her." - Konkona Sen Sharma
"Madhuri Dixit is amazing! We had such a ball. We hung around together even when we weren't shooting. Madhuri is such a big star. But she's so chilled. So fun loving and totally unaffected." - Konkona Sen Sharma
"When you are on the sets working with Madhuri Dixit, you tend to forget that she is 'The Madhuri Dixit' because she is so normal. Honestly speaking, she is unassuming, very friendly, very considerate. There was a time when my knees were hurting and she came forward like any other friend and offered her help. Yes, it was special to be working with her because I never thought that my wish to work with her would come true one day. Madhuri shares screen space with not only me but all of us, whether it's Kunal, Ranvir, Vinay Pathak or Raghuveer Yadav. Sharing screen space with Madhuri is just so unbelievable. She is right in front of you and you tend to go speechless when she delivers her lines. She is an inspiration to watch." - Konkona Sen Sharma
"She personifies grace, she personifies beauty, she personifies sensuality in a subtle manner... When you show her what to do you can be sure shell do it 100 times better than what youve shown her." - Vaibhavi Merchant
"She embodies everything a woman should be." - Vaibhavi Merchant
"Shes that kind of person who can carry off the whole dance sequence with only expressing. She needs not dance, she should just snad she should just express herself and voila!" - Vaibhavi Merchant
"You cant take your eyes off her when she moves." - Ranvir Shorey
"Every time I was next to her I could feel a tingling all over my body. It was such a thrill to be working with someone as great as Madhuri. For a person who holds such an esteemed position in the industry she exudes an unbelievable down-to-earth vibe, besides having such a humble nature. It's hard not to get star-struck when she's around you." - Ranvir Shorey
"The first day I was to work with Madhuri, I was tingling all over in anticipation. But all that I could muster up to say to her the moment she said hello to me, was a very feeble 'Hi'. Madhuri is such a doll. She has an easy-going personality. And in spite of all that she has achieved, she's got no airs and throws no tantrums, like many other 'stars' do." - Ranvir Shorey
"She is a screen Goddess. One has to work with her to understand her aura." - Ranvir Shorey
"I can go on and on and on about Madhuri, because for me and my whole family the world starts and ends with Madhuri Dixi. We just absolutely adore her." - Rani Mukherjee
"When Madhuri used to make a movie, it made a difference to all of us, because theres nobody like Madhuri. She is the legend." - Rani Mukherjee
"Shes tremendous actress and I consider it a pleasure and privilegge to be working with her. She definitely deserves her position of number one." - Saif Ali Khan
"I find Madhuri extremely sensuous, probably the best sensuality Bollywood has seen. She has an astonishing body language and can carry off the most 'risque' steps with that dash of adaa." - Saif Ali Khan
"Madhuri is like a beautiful gift. Shes very talented, very hard-working, very good looking and very easy to work with." - Aamir Khan
"Madhuri is a wonderful co-star. I've really enjoyed working with her and if and when the opportunity comes up again, I'd love to repeat that." - Aamir Khan
"Take any film of Madhuri Dixit and youll see, that it doesnt matter if the film is a winner or not - Madhuri Dixit is always the hero of the movie." - Vikram Phadnis
"There are actresses and there are actresses. And then there is Madhuri Dixit." - Vikram Phadnis
"She is a better human being than an actor. And I think that goodnes, which is in her reflects on screen. So I think more than having introduced Madhuri Dixit a star, we are proud to have introduced a very very god human being to the film industry." - Rajat Barjatya
"After watching her in? Gaja Gamini, Im completely shocked that an actress as graceful and talented as Madhuri Dixit could be mentioned in the same sentence as newer girls like Aishwarya Rai -- girls who are beautiful, no doubt, but have not one iota of the talent or charm of Madhuri. To say that Aishwarya has dethroned Madhuri is a joke in itself." - Alok Kumar
"She is the most wonderful human being. Everybody knows that, she is a wonderful actress to add to that people have been complementing her performances all over the years. Of course she is a wonderful artist, she is a wonderful human being, the most hassle free artiste." - Yash Chopra
"I have never seen her cribbing about anything or shirk any responsibility. I always knew that the industry will call her back and I am happy that she is making a comeback... She is the queen of Bollywood and always be so. Over the years, Madhuri has turned out to be a fantastic actress, a graceful dancer and a dedicated mother. This is one woman to get inspired from. " - Yash Chopra
"I still remember the day when this young girl walked into my office for work and I told her to leave her photographs. Despite the disappointment the smile never faded from her face, this was Madhuri Dixit. " - Yash Chopra
"It is amazing how she has taken up the challenge. I saw her yesterday and believe me she was looking much better and more beautiful than she looked when she was doing 'Dil To Pagal Hai' with me which was more than ten years ago. No one can say she is a married woman now and a mother of two boys. I am also amazed to see the seriousness with which she has decided to start work again." - Yash Chopra
"You don't make anyone like Madhuri anymore. She is beautiful, superbly talented, and the most stunning dancer we have seen. Only if my name was Nene!" - Nana Patekar
"There are only three stars in Bollywood: Madhuri, Madhuri and Madhuri." - Sajjid Khan
"Im very fond of Madhuri. Both as an actress and as a person." - Salman Khan
"When it comes to comparison, I always compare every actress with Madhuri and as a result every actress disappoints." - Salman Khan
"I saw her blooming into a flower from a blossom. A youngster, an actor, a mother ... I saw her living every roles because? that is what she is, a quiet, straight forward, gentle and a benevolent girl. I never saw her getting tired in a shoot. Once Kajol saw her shooting for long hours and told me, she is like a perfect Hollywood Actress, a directors actress. She gives the director the shot he wants. She is a rare combination of beauty and immense talent. A perfect Hindi dilogue delivery voice, eyes and expressions as lucid as a mirror, a camera loving personality, dance and rhythm perfectly coordinated. And with such exceptional combination, she always stayed so simple at her heart. I never saw her with false pride? or throwing star tantrums." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"When I asked M.F. Husain what he thought was so special about Madhuri (we were at the sets of Dil To Pagal Hai), he said to me, 'Just watch her, she's not noticing us, look at the way she sits, look at the way she reaches for a cup of tea, look at the way she flicks her hair'her body language, her feminity'the way she turns around, every bit of it is so Indian and feminine.' Also having seen the female sex for 90 years and for him to literally pick her out is a huge compliment... So while it's not really fair to say that today's actresses are not talented or good-looking, the confluence of all that an artiste would need, we have not found in anyone since Madhuri." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"When I see her, I say 'Oh, my God, there's so much more to her'. It's not just that she is the best dancer or the fact that she is tremendously graceful or feminine but she has a fabulously expressive voice. She is so wonderfully mercurial in front of the camera." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"I have shot close to 2000 faces, Madhuri's is one of the best faces in my portfolio. She is like malleable clay. You just have to tell her what you want and she becomes that person. Temperament and talent made her the super star she was. I've had the opportunity to shoot her many times, from pre-Tezaab to pre-Aaja Nachle. There's never been another Madhuri Dixit." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"During Dil To Pagal Hai, I was shooting with Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor. Karisma took a mirror and gave some final touches to her makeup. SRK asked Madhuri whether she too wanted a last glimpse. She told SRK, "My mirrors are here," and pointed to Mickey Contractor (make-up expert) and me. I was overwhelmed and quite shaken. Mickey told me to enjoy it because we would never get such a response again." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"Madhuri has a supremely beautiful face, perfectly placed eyes, a wonderful mouth and small nose. Her body is proportionate, although not waif-like. She is a director's actor. I have put her in ice, made her sit on watermelons, made her go around in circles over a hundred times; without wincing, she has done it all. She has that quality about her." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"A great face, graceful, acting prowess and dancer. A consistent 10 year period at the top in an era when faces change every week. Ideal muse for directors, choreographers, photographers and even painters! A modern icon." - Gautam Rajdhakshya
"She is so flexible, you can do what you like with her. She undergoes a metamorphosis in front of the camera." - Gautam Rajdhaksya
"Who am I? I am nothing. Madhuri Dixit is beautiful, not me." - Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994)
"I used to love Mahduri Dixit. I thought she was fabulous in everything, whatever it was. There was just something about her." - Neha Dhupia
"She was the most perfect face for the screen." - Amrita Rao
"My all-time favourite has always been Madhuri Dixit. The kind of talent and spontaneity Madhuri has is simply great. And she is also beautiful." - Shreyas Talpade
"I'm in love with Madhuri . However i can't be her leading man in a movie. It has more to do with screen age. I can play even her servant." - Shreyas Talpade
"Its difficult to choose the best (of her performances). I saw every film and thought she couldnt do better work. And each time she proved us wrong." - B. S. Tendulkar
"She is someone I have always looked up to and she is easily the most talented and most beautiful actress in our industry." - Hansika Motwali
"Shes such a good girl, so humble and well brought up, she deserves all the good things that hava happened to her." - Dilip Kumar
"Madhuri reminds me of the beauty of Madhubala, Grace of Vaijantimalaa with the sensitivity of Nutan." - Dilip Kumar
"The most beautiful actress have always been Madhuri." - Imran Hashmi
"Madhuri Dixit is my greatest inspiration. I call her my guru. Shes the most complete actress weve had. Be it her performance, dance, grace, voice and her mesmerizing smile." - Manjari Phandis
"I think that Madhuri Dixit, Mother Theressa and Indira Gandhi have really influenced all of us, so on the eve of Woman's day I wish all women from all field a very Happy Woman's Day." - Manjari Phadnis
"I loved Madhuri Dixit in Devdas. Im a huge fan of hers. If I can conduct my career with half her dignity and grace Id have achieved more than what I had thought." - Vidya Balan
"Being nominated is a not a great achievement but being nominated with a persona like Madhuri Dixit is a real achievement for me!" - Vydia Balan
"What Madhuri brings... is her incredible, incredible sense of dancing. It is not a type of dancing that she cant do. Because...sometimes it is just a walk, sometimes just a gesture, sometimes just a look, but because her body is that one of a born dancer everyting she does is a musical theatre." - Anil Mehta
"She is an iconic figure of our times. For me she is a special performer. At the end of the day it was an enriching experience. She is a fantastic person to work with. When she started working, she worked with ease and grace. She is a very easy person to get along with. What started off as a huge task, just got simplified." - Anil Mehta
"When you see Madhuri dance, it can't be spoken of, it just connects. These things can't be articulated. I had to watch the footage of her dancing again and again in the post production stage. But I was never tired of watching her dance. She is a very very special performer. She is a trained Kathak dancer. Grace is a part of her." - Anil Mehta
"Shes everyones favourite." - Preity Zinta
"It was great working with an icon like Madhuri Dixit." - Preity Zinta
"Every moment you watch her, you wanna watch her more and more and more, you just cant have enough of her." - Divya Dutta
"Madhuri is so encouraging and concerned about people around her." - Divya Dutta
"It's shocking that inspite of being such a respected actress, she doesn't have any airs about her ' she doesn't throw attitude at all. It's been like magic ' I've always wanted to work with her." - Divya Dutta
"I think shes been the most graceful, the most ellegant, the most poised Indian actress you can ever think of." - Vaishali Desai
"Shes phenomenal in everything she does." - Kajol
"Madhuri is a flawless actress. She is a director's actress. She can become exactly what the director wants. Take two films of her, Nana Patekar's Prahaar and Subhash Ghai's khalnayak. Can you see any similarity between the simple Madhuri of Prahaar with the Madhuri of Khalnayak? No you can't? Because the two directors had different demands. So Madhuri had become two completely different Madhuri. But again she has so much power that the directors are compelled to think about her. I am saying this from my own feeling. The first thing that amazes me is her beauty. Her body and her look is like a Greek goddess. I have rarely seen such expressions of eye. She can portray so many things by only her expressions! So many colours, sadness, so many questions, love play in those expressions. I will say with only such expressions an actress can bewilder so many audiences in the dark room. But her amazingly versatile expressions have not been used properly yet. Her many talents have not been used yet. Her another big asset is her dancing ability. Madhuri has superb power to change herself. Take six photographs from six Madhuri film, you will see six different Madhuri! You won't find any similarity among them, so much versatile she is! But then again, if you notice deeply, you will see the similarity because the face is the same only different shade is moving over them. It is an envying power. It will depend on the ability of the director how much he/she can use her versatility. Look at her face, like me you will also think God has not created a more beautiful face. It is so beautiful that I cannot think her in any vamp role. I would like to say finally that how much the actor Kajol tries to critic her beauty and talent, the viewer Kajol is obsessed with Madhuri mania." - Kajol
"She's the entire package. You couldn't segregate her as an actress or a fine looker or a dancer. There was a charisma about her. She was the representative of the quintessential Indian woman in the post Nargis and Madhubala years." - Minisha Lamba
"The only Indian heroine I like, really like, is Madhuri Dixit. And I think shes gorgeous."- John Abraham

"Madhuri Dixits aquiline nose and lips...everything about her is stunning!" - Priyanka Chopra

"Among actresses Madhuri Dixit is a goddess." - Priyanka Chopra
"At the stroke of the morning hours, when all the crew members were tired, weary and were still in their sleeps, Madhuri was the only one who used to get up early and rehearse for her Mujras... she used to practice each and every step so perfectly as is Pandit Birju Maharaj ji has just now taught her and went... and more importantly, the tiredness of the last days shoot till late nights was never seen on her face." - Milind Gunaji
"No one can dream of taking off Madhuri."- Neetu Chandra
"She is every director's dream and alwayss delivers beyond one's imagination and expectations." ' Neetu Chandra
"She was a class apart. The kind of music came in her days is no longer composed in the industry. Songs like 'Choli ke peechhe' and 'Dhak dhak karne lagaa' were amazing. I would have loved to perform on those numbers. I know I can never be Madhuri Dixit, but even if people say I'm 10 percent of her, I would feel my efforts have paid off." ' Neetu Chandra

"Madhuri Dixit. I loved her in 'Dil' with Aamir mamu. You know, despite all those horrible frilly things that heroines in the 80s and 90s wore, they really could carry films on their own. Madhuri and Sridevi could get an opening (at the box-office) on the strength of their name. Today, the girls seem interchangeable. I don't know if it's the scripts or the audience." - Imran Khan to the question who is the most romantic Bollywood heroine.

"It (shooting of a song with madhuri for Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan) was simply fabulous. I always wanted to do a film with her, but unfortunately we never got chance to work together and even when offers came they never materialised, for one reason or another. After doing a dance number with her in Bade Mian Chhote Mian I am even more eager to work with her. She is a marvellous dancer and actress. I hope some producer will soon offer as a good film." - Amitabh Bachchan
"Madhuri Dixit has always been a favourite. She was someone who in her era when it was all about the men when she stood her ground like nobody else has been. She to me is the quintessential and the best example of a commercial Bollywood actress. She had the right balance of realism and adha, the dancing, and everything. She was the right package. " - Shahana Goswami
"I give Madhuri Dixit 10 on 10 for being a complete Hindi film actress and want to emulate her. Everything from her acting and dancing skills, comic timing, looks and smile was in order." - Niharika Singh

"Among the actresses Madhuri Dixit will always be my favourite." - Prabhu Deva

''The name stands for so much'an industry icon, superb actress, brilliant dancer and charismatic personality. Nobody compares to Madhuri as yet.'' - Chandan Arora
''Today Aishwarya is No. 1 because Madhuri is not doing films. Madhuri is by far the better actor." - Bharat Shah
"You know at Jubar, when the first assault did not bring the desired result, the soldiers camped at the base for one night. One obviously drunk Pakistan soldier screamed: 'Give us Madhuri Dixit and take Kashmir. Who wants the rocky wasteland of Batalik anyway?' We screamed back saying, 'Why just Kashmir, we will also give you Kanyakumari, but not Madhuri Dixit'!'' - one of the soldiers present :)
"There are so many technically-perfect actors and actresses, but few like him (Govinda) or Madhuri Dixit who enjoy the song and what they are doing - both these artistes seem to literally forget themselves and just melt into the song - and that makes the difference! Performing from the soul shows clearly in the results!" - Rekha
"The first thing that strikes one about Madhuri is the basic person. She has managed to retain her middle-class values, not allowed stardom to affect her. She is among the very few in the film industry I have connected with on a personal level. As an actress, Madhuri is yet to live upto her full potential. No filmmaker has done full justice to her talent." - Rekha
"I am not starstruck otherwise, but I am a big fan of Madhuri's. I recently met her on her birthday and I actually touched her feet. That was the most memorable and wonderful moment of my life." - Geeta Basra
"Perhaps the most powerfull actress ever, her producers could ensure that a film would do well just because of her name. Such was the power of Madhuri Dixit. Hum Aapke hain Kaun is one of the biggest Bollywood hits ever. Apart from the fact that Madhuri was the heartbeat of that film..." - Tillakaratne Dilshan
"My favourite actress is Madhuri Dixit." - Govinda
"Our Madhuriji is a great and charismatic artiste." - Govinda
"It was quite some time back. I met Sonu (Nigam) the first time at Holiday Inn in Mumbai. We were sitting at the restaurant and I saw an attractive girl wearing jeans and tattered T-shirt walk past. She was with an older man who could have been her dad. Just when she was leaving, Sonu told her 'I love your films'. She smiled and turned towards me and said, 'I love your music. I am a big fan.' I asked her, 'What's your name?' She replied, 'Madhuri.' 'What do you do?' I asked her. 'I act,' she said, '...in films.' After she left Sonu told me she was Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri Dixit! I felt like such an idiot!" - Biddu
"When I first saw Madhuri Dixit in Maar Dala, I went mad." - Sarvinoz Baltabaeva

"One of my favourite actresses. She has a million dollar smile which drives one crazy. " - Tarun Mansukhati
"Madhubala was fairer, Madhuris duskier. But her eyes are as expressive and her smile is equally electric. However, Id say Madhuri is more independent. She know her mind and gets her way." - JH Thakker
"Madhuri Dixit, Shilpa Shetty and Priyanka Chopra have never thrown tantrums...neither have they shown slightest sign of rudeness. During the shoot of Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Madhuri had to wear a particular kind of sari for a scene. This was told to me at the last minute. I made the blouse in one helluva rush. This led to a problem in the fitting. Madhuri just smiled and said, "Don't worry...I'll manage." No anger, no tantrums. She pulled the pallu over her shoulder and covered the blouse. The scene is there in the movie. And hence, without a doubt, Madhuri is my favourite client." - Nilufer Qureshi
"Madhuri is a perfect combination of acting, dance, expression and talent among all others." - Vyjantimala
"Madhuri is the only complete actress that Indian cinema has produced in 100 years." - Ashok Kumar
"I have sung most songs for Madhuri and Juhi. But if I have to pick one, it will be Madhuri. She just adds so much expression, that I always felt that all the expressions I had put in song were justified. In fact she used to better it. I loved to see my songs enacted by her." - Alka Yagnik
"Unforgettable: that's what Madhuri Dixit has come to stand for in the minds of anyone who loves the movies. And why not? After all, she was, for more than a decade, the closest thing Bollywood had to a female superstar, her popularity transcending class barriers and leaping over art and mainstream fences. Small beauty salons that dot the city where Madhuri became famous still have her posters in their windows." - Harneet Singh
"One has to agree that Madhuri is magical. She is pure magic onscreen." - Dino Morea
"If there are two faces, I would say, can be called as real Indian beauties then I would choose Aishwarya and Madhuri from this generation. With Aishwarya one sees immense natural beauty but Madhuri is something different. Madhuri's face is the same in real life and reel life and the reason she is "naturally" beautiful is because she is a very beautiful person as well. When she called me her mirror during the shooting of DTPH, I got the highest compliment of my life. I would never even dream of such HUGE star praising me. And only Madhuri does it because she is "beautiful"... and not only in her face... but in her heart as well." - Micky Contractor
"The only word I can use for her is perfect. There is absolutely nothing wrong in her face. Madhuri's sheer beauty gives you a head start. I also find her face extremely versatile. I can try the most exotic look with her because I know she can carry it off with confidence as if she were born with it." - Micky Contractor
"I am scared to know that I am being compared with Madhuri Dixit. She is the epitome of acting and performance." - Sameera Reddy
"Anil is a wonderful actor to work with but Madhuri Dixit is the
epitome of acting and performance. I'm frightened that I'm being compared with her. But on the other hand, I'm happy that I'm this close to her." - Sameera Reddy
"I have been this huge Madhuri fan for as long as I can remember. Honestly, name me one girl who doesn't want to be like Madhuri Dixit. She's pure magic on screen. She's the most perfect star. She ruled the industry for over a decade while many other actresses came and went. Her success story is remarkable." - Antara Mali
"There is only one Madhuri Dixit and it is very hard to match up to her. Copying her looks, and dressing style was easy but there is a certain charm that she has, certain expressions, which are very Madhuri." - Antara Mali
"A special chemistry that Madhubala and Madhuri possessed that transcends
talent. It was as though there was no camera and they communicated
directly with the audience.'' - Uday Kaushik
"The beauty of Madhuri is she can fit in any slot." - Ashok Thakeria
"Madhuri Dixit is the true symbol of versatility." - Frieda Pinto
"Madhuri Dixit is a legend." - Himesh Reshamiya
"The camera merely rolls when other actresses emote. But when Madhuri Dixit gets into the act, the camera seems to stop dead in its tracks, watching her like an incorrigible voyeur. Time and again, she has worked with directors who can't equip her with the depth or contact that she's so capable of. Time and again, she has been crackerjack and the film a crashing bore. Obviously she hopscotches over the handicaps. What a Shyam Benegal, a Mani Ratnam or a Shekhar Kapur might do with her is a tantalising prospect. " - Jitesh Pillaii
"Mujhe lagta hain she is the best and she will always remain the best." - Rituparna Sengupta
"My favourite actress is Madhuri Dixit, nobody compares to her." - Aftab Shivasdani
"I just love Madhuri." - Javed Akhtar
"Madhuri is beautiful. I had only one opportunity to shoot her. We started at nine in the morning and wound up around 7 p.m. I had perhaps for this shoot like a student appearing for his final exams. I had discussed the kind of make-up I wanted to give her with the make artist weeks before. Even the clothes were finalised well in advance. She slipped in n out of costumes hour aftr hour with not even a momentary expression of fatigue or restlessness crossing her face. I was amazed when at the end of one of my busiest n longest days a still - ravishing Madhuri asked me if we could continue the shoot next day." - Sumeet Chopra
"Madhuri Dixit is the only reason Why I am an actress today!" - Masumeh Makhjita
"Madhuri is the best thing to have happened to the industry." - Sonu Walia
"Madhuri Dixit is the best ever." - Vinay Pathak
"Talent is not age specific. Madhuri is a luminous talent and like a good single malt, she has only gotten better with age. If I did think of a project for her it would have to be something that does justice to her many skills. Something that pushes her into new areas while building on the immense love she already has with her audience." - Vidhu Vinod Chopra
"It's almost impossible to have another Madhuri. I am not God to predict but thinking to have someone as complete as her is beyond my imagination." - Dharmendra
"She has the expression of classic tragic passion. She has the ability to portray a woman completely and entirely in love." - Shekhar Kapur
"The milestone in the career of any photographer today is a session with Madhuri Dixit. I had worked with a number of known names but, till I shot with Madhuri, I continued to question my existence. She was like a cult figure for me, someone unique and incomparable. My biggest joy was when she agreed to work with me. As happy as a child with a new toy, I reached the set. I was struck dumb when we came face-to-face. Absolutely awe-struck! She was quick to realise this and put me at ease. She's magic in front of the camera. A beautiful face with a million-dollar smile. She has a problem with her weight and the occasional zit. Her dressing has improved drastically of late. One of our best shoots was at one of Delhi's monuments. For security reasons, Madhuri had a whole lot of commandos following us around with arms. I felt like a king. Today Madhuri can take the risk of looking different, trying out experiments with photography. She will always be accepted and appreciated because she is simply incomparable." - Daboo Ratnani
"I loved watching Madhuri Dixit at work; I was in awe of her. She is a perfect dancer and actress and very hardworking. She was a big influence on me after Dil." - Shweta Kumar
"Celebrity I'd like to spend a day with? Madhuri Dixit! She has modern charm coupled with traditional loveliness. Her resemblance to Madhubala makes her an eternal beauty." - Anil Gupta
"My all-time favourite is Madhuri Dixit. She is the hottest-diva to its truest sense." - Nauheed Cyrusi
"Art cinema can be revived only by someone like Madhuri." - Shabana Amzi
"Madhuri Dixit is probably the most attractive face of Bollywood." - Fardeen Khan
"Madhuri is a very, how do you say... I have always liked her, from day one. I find her - besides being such a fabulous looker and all that - a very lovely, simple girl. Simple, simple girl, you know, the one you can take home to your mother kind. It's a fact. Because I was observing her on all the days of the shoot. God, she is so humble and so down-to-earth. And besides discussing dance we discussed all interesting topics, like life-after-death, UFOs, all of which she also believes in. Her parents too. I was really fascinated with her, and I enjoyed working with her a lot. A very talented and very professional girl. And her expressions are amazing." - Shiamak Davar
"Madhuri is all grace and she cannot be compared with anyone." - Shiamak Davar
"One of my favorites...is the sensational and poised Madhuri Dixit! The very mention of her name gets your minds racing with her dance numbers and graceful performances, not to forget that high voltage smile! From her 'Ek Do Teen' to 'Mera Piya Ghar Aaya' jumpy numbers, I have tried to copy her every step and bend to duplicate that effortless polish of hers but like the world knows-Madhuri Dixit is the one and only in our film industry. The charm and beauty she exudes is inexplicable and even a thousand words wouldn't do justice to her... She was and continues to be my idol and I don't aspire to be her but she does inspire me to be that lovely, refined Indian woman she is... I was lucky enough to bump into her once a long time ago at a clinic but very obviously it was a very limited, formal and courteous exchange of greetings. Yes, I did feel that rage of excitement and scream out loud on seeing my idol in front of me, in person, just centimeters distant from me!... There have been a few instances when during shoots or dance sequences and performances, I have been complimented to remind people of Madhuri Dixit. And that makes my day ." - Shweta Tiwari
"Critics argued that the film (Hum Aapke Hain Kaun) was too sweet and she left some with a diabetic syndrome, but the fact was that she mesmerised on screen and everyone's eyes were fixed? on her throughout, following her unknowingly. Since her dramatic entry on roller-skates in the film, and as she sang and waltzed through the picture, handling professionally the most complicated and emotionally demanding role effortlessly, she had the entire audience enthralled and India captive to 'Madhuri Mania'. With her perfect? lip-synching, an impeccable Urdu pronunciation (despite being of Maharashtrian origin) and her command of a galaxy of expressions as well as being pleasing to the eye, a shining star had seemingly been born out of a dwindling meteor. But then, given her enviable reservoir of talent, this was inevitable and she personifies the ultimate female Indian star." ' Fuad Omar
"My favourite heroine was, is and always will be Madhuri." ' Subhash Ghai
'I think, somehow, Madhuri Dixit became a part of our Indian culture." ' Simi Garewal
"I like her because she is a great artiste and a nice person" - Archana Gupta
"Last year, I accidently met Madhuri Dixit at Jaipur airport, when she was returning to Mumbai after shooting for Koyla, and I was returning after shooting for Zor. She, at once recognised me though we were meeting after nearly a decade, when we had worked together as father and daughter in Ilaaka. She took my bag from my hands, saying, " you are a senior citizen and should not carry this burden." What a noble gesture from a beautiful young girl who is a top filmstar today." - A.K. Hangal
"I am a fan of Madhuri Dixit. After watching her films, I would come home and imitate her." - Shika
"Madhuri Dixit is such a devoted actress and dancer that hardly anyone in India has come to her level." - Mithun Chakraborty

"I have always been a fan of Madhuri. So singing for her is an honour." - Richa Sharma
"I was fascinated by Madhuri after watching her dance to "Ek do teen in 'Tezaab' when I was in school. In fact, it was after watching her in that film that I wanted to become an actress. Madhuri has been my inspiration and I will always be her fan." - Roma Asrani
"She is the finest dancer Indian cinema has produced. She is such a natural that she could have been a great classical dancer if she wanted to. Her innate grace, sense of rhythm and expressions... When Madhuri dances, we too become a part of her dance." - Aswathy V. Nair
"Madhuri has become my weakness. There are very few actors, who can surprise me, but she was so brilliant even I was mesmerized." - Raj Kumar Santoshi
"She's an outstanding actress and I'm sure she'll be as fantastic as ever. Having directed her in Pukaar, Lajja, I can say that she works hard to add to her character and film. I would definitely like to work with her again with an appropriate script that does justice to her potential." - Raj Kumar Santoshi
"There were a hundred kids who just gate-crashed into the MIG club in Bandra, pestering Madhuri for autographs. I told Madhuri that it was okay for her to leave. She just refused. She said she wasnt in the least bit harrassed. Marriage has worked wonders for Madhuri. We worked together in Pukar and I noticed a sea-change in her before and after her wedding. Shes completely blissed out now." - Namrata Shirodkar
"I'm pretty friendly to both Madhuri and Ash. And I think they are very good human beings ." - Mamta Kulkarni
"Whatever step was shown to her it was piece of cake for her, it seemed she had done rehearsal one month before!!!" - Chunky Panday
"There wouldn't be any mobile phones those days, so I'd get a lot of time to flirt with all the heroines. I would flirt with all of them... and much more with Madhuri." - Shahid Kapoor
"Well I have been a fan of Madhuri Dixit, she was fantastic. She is whose performance I really like." - Shahid Kapoor
"No matter how hard I worked, Madhuri was always ahead of me." - Juhi Chawla
"The most important aspect of my film (Suryamukhi) is the relationship between the model and artist, which is platonic. And it is only if I get extreme shades of performance from the model that I can do justice to the quality of Ravi Varma's paintings. Whether it is Saraswathi, Lakshmi, Damayanthi or Shakuntala, there is expression in the stillness and silence of the paintings. To get expressions in silence, you need a very good artiste, which is why I thought of Madhuri Dixit." - Shaji N. Karun
"Madhuri Dixit is too good. I want to dance just like her." - Vaishnavi Patil
"Madhuri Dixit and my dad! They had such amazing, sizzling chemistry! I loved them in 'Tezaab', 'Beta' and 'Ram Lakhan'." - Sonam Kapoor to the question who was the best Bollywood pair
"Madhuri Dixit was easily the last female superstar we had." - Amod Mehra
"I simply adore few personalities and they have left a lasting impression on me. I simply love Madhuri Dixit ' her dance style is mind-blowing." - Mumaith Khan
"Favorite Actress is Madhuri Dixit, she's not just a great actress but an awesome dancer too!" - Anuj Sachdev
"She is a great artiste who is able to tap an unknown vibe from the atmosphere through antenna that nobody sees and bring them into the performance and create a kind of a subtext which raises every scene to a level much higher than what the conceiver had imagined." - Jaideep Sahni
"She is surely an actress every Bollywood filmmaker is waiting to work with." - Prakash Jha
"Perhaps Madhuri knows now that she has nothing left to prove, and that shes the last of the all-in-one female stars who could do drama and comedy and dance and also flash a smile that looked like a million bucks. You sense that confidence in her now - that almost regal imperiousness, born from the realisation that the instant she enters a scene, all eyes will turn to her - and shes wonderful in this part where performer and person fuse into one." - Baradwaj Rangan
"There is tremendous possibility of her making a mark once again since she's still looking very lovely. And let's not forget that she's a competent performer." - Rakesh Roshan
"She is a complete actor. There is a need for actors like her." - Raj N Sippy
"Madhuri is a delightful person, a brilliant actor and effortless in her work. She is simple yet sharp as an actor. She is a very good co-actor." - Anupam Kher
"Each time she walked onto the set ready to give a shot, everyone just sighed! There was something so warm and friendly about her, layered with this distinct veneer of professionalism. She commanded a lot of respect." - Leena Yadav
"She has the X-factor. It's not like I've done any magic on her to capture her beauty. Madhuri is a good actress who has achieved a lot because of her commitment and no ego." ' Ashok Mehta
"Madhuri doesn't copy Madhubala but she does have the same abilities the same dramatic flair and sense of comic timing. Both have this ability to spoof themselves and both seem approachable but someone who cannot be possessed." - Sudhir Mishra
"She has a natural talent for acting and is a very versatile actress. I feel awed by her expressions and dancing. I must confess honestly that many times I do try to emulate Madhuri Dixit in my acting." - Preethi Chandrashekar
"Both she and Madhubala have the same enigma. The stars today have no dignity off screen and they are so available. This is a fantasy-land the stuff of dreams. You idolise your stars, you pretend to be like them. That's where the fun comes in. You can't bring out dirty linen in public and yet hope to remain a star. To me, Madhuri is the last number one heroine in the Hindi film industry and that comes from her iconic status." - Aseem Bajaj
"Madhuri is a very dedicated and co-operative artiste. She doesnt fuss about anything." - Mahendra Soni
"In a lavish dance sequence (Dola Re), where Bhansali pits Madhuri against the much younger Aishwarya, you can see the latter has the slimmer waist, but the formers moves, which come from within, put her all the way up there with the dancing greats. You can see that she is not just following the choreographers directions which can turn dance numbers into mere callisthenic exercises, she is in the moment, going with the flow, with all her being." - Shubhra Gupta
"Recently, I met Madhuri, Mrs Nene. I was working at Yashraj and I saw her there and I just couldn't speak. I have worked with stalwarts and very big actors and I have never been so tongue-tied in my life. I think I am very articulate. So I made up my mind to go and talk. Then someone knocked on my door and it was someone from her staff saying she'd like to say hello. I said I would love to and I went to her room to say hello and I was tongue-tied all over again. That was one woman who captivated me all my childhood and my teenage years till I was a man. And no one in my generation matches her: that beauty, the dazzling smile, the expressive eyes, the performances that she ripped out one after the other. I have loved Beta, Raja, Tezaab, even Ram Lakhan in which she doesn't have too much of a role but I used to go to see it just to watch her. I loved her." - Vivek Oberoi
Mahima Chaudhry: She (Juhi Chawla) is my favorite actress.
Urmila Matondkar: They (Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Suri) are so talented, they don't need any special attention (from the director).

Raja Sen (journalist): Her comic timing's perfect.
Madhuri Dixit: (After Ishq became a superhit) I actually like her now.
Amol Palekar (Director of Paheli): It's nice to be surrounded with such talented people especially someone like juhi chawla who really brightens up the place.

Tanushree Dutta: You see a Madhuri or Juhi Chawla, or a Julia Roberts who is doing amazing work at 40.
Aamir's Interview for Peepli Live in New York
Interviewer: Who are your best friends in the industry?
Aamir says: Akshay Khanna. Saif Ali Khan. Atul Kulkarni. Juhi [Chawla], Rani [Mukherjee].
Rahul Bose on Twitter: Yes, saw the movie 'I AM'. Hard hitting. Watch especially for Juhi, manisha koirala, purab & the surprise package, anurag kashyap's performances. Happy for Onir.
Manoj Bajpai says, "She is very passionate about acting. She always wants to do her job well. And this kind of passion is really admirable."
Akshay Khanna's Favourite Couple in Salaam-E-Ishq: I think Anil (Kapoor) and Juhi (Chawla) make my favourite jodi in the movie. Although all the tracks are fabulously written, Anil and Juhi's track is the most realistic one because it has been written very maturely. If I had to pick one couple, it would be Anil and Juhi.
Anil's rapport with Juhi during the making of Salaam-E-Ishq: For me, it is the role and if the person opposite to me is a good actress then it is much better for me and Juhi is a fine actress, I really enjoyed working with her. She is definitely a really very fine actress; it was fun working with her. It is always great to work with professionals and actors who really know the job well and Juhi is one of them.
Aamir commented on this Aamir, Juhi & Shahrukh Shortfilm & Said ""Ha ha ha. That was absolutely super. I am sure both Shah and I would be more than happy to fight over Juhi. And as usual Salman would walk away with the prize. Hard work whoever has done it. :-)"
Sanjay Suri: Juhi is a gem of a person. I just love her. We have undergone a gamut of relationships on screen. While Juhi played my wife in Jhankaar Beats, in MBN, she was my sister and in BEP we are die-hard friends. Maybe next she will play a vamp in my life (Laughs). But she is an absolute delight. Her goodness is very endearing and it shows in her work as well.
Sanjay Suri: I am enamoured by Juhi - since the age of 12! I saw Juhi for the first time when she was shooting for her debut film Sultanat in Kashmir. I was a school-going kid then and what got etched on my mind was her trying desperately to learn to ride a bicycle. Her determination, her beauty and her sincerity won several hearts and I too developed a crush on her (Laughs).
Sanjay Suri: When we were cast together for Jhankaar Beats, we did not know each other. I approached her and when I told her about my being a witness to her cycling lessons, she laughed heartily. Since then we have been good friends.
Big B on his Official Blog: The Jaane Tu premiere brought many of us together - Juhi, Tabu and Vidya and Anil and Sonam and Jiah - all of us huddled together in one group - meeting them after ages, yet happy that we could all sit together and enjoy a delightful film.
Nikhil Advani: Anil (Kapoor) and Juhi (Chawla) are so wonderful to watch.I really enjoyed working with them in Salaam-E-Ishq
Tollywood Star Jeet: I was there for the Kolkata Knight Riders face-off with Mumbai Indians and I was so excited! Old memories came rushing back. It felt fantastic to be invited by Juhi; she had called me. She was so warm and loving, and took such good care of all the Tolly stars.
Tollywood Star: Jisshu Sengupta - Juhi had called me on behalf of Shah Rukh Khan and I had gone along with Rituda (Rituparno Ghosh) after wrapping up the day's shooting for Abohoman. We reached a little late and there were no seats. Juhi offered me her seat and I was really touched.
Irfan Pathan from the Cricket Fame says his favourite actress is Juhi Chawla
David Hussey from the Cricket Fame says "Bollywood heroine I would love to date would be Juhi Chawla"
Arbaaz Khan (Salman Khan's Brother): Initially Juhi is the kind of person who takes time to open up with people, which i realise, she maybe took a couple of days before she really opened up but when she did she was very friendly so i got to know her basically on the sets of Daraar.
Dharmesh Darshan (Director of Lootere & Raja Hindustani) on Juhi Chawla: I think Juhi Chawla is beautiful. Not conventionally or obviously, but there is this certain spark about her. Then, of course, there is the fact that she is very talented.
Katrina Kaif: I love Bollywood actresses very much. I grew up watching Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Tabu, Karisma Kapoor and I admire them a lot.
Shahrukh: For Madhuri and Juhi, I do think of them as someone, if they tell me something, I would do it. I feel as protective about Juhi and Kajol as about my sister!
SRK: - (grinning michievously) " Its no use Juhi, ur just tooo damn cute, and perfect, im never gonna let you go"
SRK: I stayed in my van for two days outside Breach Candy hospital to be near Gauri when she delivered our second child. I left Aryan at Juhi's house. In between I would get frantic telephone calls on my cell phone about how Aryan was scandalizing the servants and members of Juhi's family by stripping and running buck naked through the house shouting "Look at me! I'm Tarzan!" It's his favourite ploy to get attention, which he needs in a constant and undivided manner. I think he's going to grow up to be an actor.
SRK: Friends like Juhi send me messages saying, you tell us all to be patient. Stick to your things, don't get angry with people. They don't matter. You matter so much. I guess those thoughts come to your mind now and you ease yourself. But deep down, there's no radical change.
Aamir Khan: In fact, I remember Juhi and I hardly gave any Interviews and the few that we gave never got any coverage'but, now the awareness has become a lot more and there are lot many platforms'. (He laughs)
Zoya Akhtar on getting lucky with Juhi Chawla for Luck By Chance: "When I first met Juhi for the producer's wife, she was sweet and nice. I kept thinking that somewhere along the making, the mask was going to drop. But that's just Juhi, sweet, polite, encouraging. It's not a huge part, but Juhi is the juice."
SRK: Juhi and Rani have often told me 'I don't have a great role in the film, I am just doing the film because it"s a very sweet film.' and i believe that.

Vivek Sharma (Director of Bhootnath) says, "Met Juhi Ma.. god bless her..such a great human being...holding brother's hand, with tears.. praying for his fast recovery.. Bobby is much better.. all credit goes to Juhi Ma.."
Manoj Bajpai: "Juhi is one of the most talented actors I have seen. We are yet to shoot together, but I am sure that it will be an experience worth remembering," he says. "Juhi continued acting despite marriage and kids. I am sure that people would love to see Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi and Juhi Chawla on screen. And considering the fact that Juhi is a great actress, she should never quit films," he says.
Manoj Bajpai says, "I always wanted to work with Juhi Chawla, but producers usually cast her with Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan. Finally, my turn has come."
Shahrukh: My friend Juhi learns music and she practices for about four-five hours a day. That is something that I can't do.She sings wonderfully. I haven't seen her perform but I just heard her while I was entering her house with my kids. After listening to her I felt that she is a wonderful singer.
When, sometime ago, Juhi was expecting her second baby, Arjun, she asked me to come over and 'chat'. Chalo, gossip session coming up, I thought; until she added, "Please get some homemade baingan ka bharta. I'm getting these cravings you know." There I was, playing chef (thank God for cooks) to an ol' buddy. - OMAR QURESHI (Juhi's personal secretary & close college friend)

Shahrukh: Juhi has the most beautiful expressive face ever!
Ira Dubey says, "I would love to pull off Hema Malini or Juhi Chawla's rib-tickling comic acts from various movies. "That's the range that I as an actor want to be confident enough to do. I will not limit myself. I have not become an actor to just do only certain type of films and play conventionally 'safe' characters," she says.
Amol Palekar (Director of Paheli) : To be able to get somebody like Juhi Chawla who by her sheer presence can exude a kind of tenderness and warmth even without uttering a single word is something so beautiful and so refreshing so I am happy that she is able to give little more dimension to that character.
Anurag Kashyap: Juhi Chawla, Ayesha Takia and Konkona Sen Sharma are the Best!
Shahrukh: A few days ago when Juhi Chawla had come over with her kids I was just telling her that it doesnt feel like its been such a long time since we did this film together. I wanted to ask her also if she feels like that
Priyanka Chopra on Twitter (Earlier this year): I Love Juhi!

Dia Mirza: Krazzy 4 Shooting has been good fun because I got to work with artistes I've always admired like Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi and Juhi Chawla. I adore Juhi, to be working with her is like a dream come true.
Hansika Motwani: I am here, thanks to Juhi Chawla and my mom. They started it all. She is a skin specialist. Juhi Chawla was one of her clients. About two years ago, Juhi told my mom that she saw some acting spark in me which should not be ignored. Thanks again to Juhi, I went on to do a commercial - Hyundai Santro. Shah Rukh Khan was doing it and the ad required a kid. Juhi and Shah Rukh are good friends. People noticed me in the Santro ad. Soon, I was signed for Rakesh Roshan's Koi Mil Gaya.
?"Mr & Mrs Khiladi with Juhi Chawla. I really liked doing that film. To this day it remains one of my favourite films," says Akshay Kumar
Shreyas Talpade (Actor in Om Shanti Om): I also believe one should mature gracefully on-screen and one actor who I have always admired for the same is Juhi Chawla. It doesn't mean taking up miniscule roles but at the same time, not all actors can fit into a college girl's or boy's shoes.
On working with Juhi Chawla, Divya Dutta exclaims: "It felt so good to act with one of my favourite actors! We got along like a house on fire because we're both so chatty. We would chill out together after our shoots in Kashmir. We visited the Dal Lake together and quite often we would dig into pakodas, sip some hot chai and just crack up thinking of something funny."
Divya Dutta: Yes, I did a film with Juhi. We got along instantly, as the two of us are naughty brats and she is the most understanding and sweet co-star I have ever worked with.
Madhuri's Rare Interview : "Kajol, Urmila, Karishma are just my juniors. They have to do a lot now. Today I only have a Juhi as a competitor. She is a talented actress and I really would like to work with her in any movie"

Divya Dutta: Yes, I did many films with Juhi. We got along instantly, as the two of us are naughty brats and she is the most understanding and sweet co-star I have ever worked with.
Sanjay Suri on Juhi
"Juhi is a great co-artist to work with and has come out with one more fantastic performance in the film," enthuses Sanjay. "Her comic timing is superb, her range in emotional scenes is also very good and she is one star with no ego hassles. And, she's always ready to listen."This time it was all the more special because we were not just working as co-actors but I am also producing the film. In any case, we try to absorb whatever is good.
Ishaa Koppikar on Juhi!
Who's the number one heroine today?
For me, Madhuri (Dixit), Sridevi and Juhi (Chawla) were the only great modern day heroines. Of course, Nargisji and Madhubala were icons. Today, there is no actress as versatile as them.
Some more SRK quotes on Juhi:
"Juhi gave me my first real break as a hero. She taught me restraint... Juhi once psychoanalysed me and said, 'You act tough and arrogant only because you don't want to get hurt. Otherwise, you are a sweet guy underneath that tough exterior'."
What do you feel about about Juhi Chawla? What can I say about Juhi? (Laughs) She gave me my first real break as a hero. Before we started work on Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, someone showed her my photgraphs saying that I looked like Aamir Khan. When she came on the sets, she took one look at me and went, "Eeeks, who's this horror?" Juhi taught me restraint. How to convey a lot without over- acting. My comic timing improved thanks to her. The best thing about her is that she's never over-confident. There is a vulnerability about her. She still gets into a flap when has to do a lengthy scene. Now I'm best friends with her husband Jai. He's a real gentleman. Which is why I floated Dreamz Unlimited with Jai and Juhi. They're my friends. I feel as protective about Juhi as I do about my sister Lala Rukh.
I can't think of comparing myself with Govinda, Salman, Jackie, Anil, Sridevi, Madhuri and Juhi. I was a fan of Juhi's when I was in college and it amazes me to see that she's working in tandem with someone who came into the industry years after her, and working on her own terms
Among the actresses there's Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Kajol -- I think these are people one should act with to be able to know where they stand. You do comedy with Juhi , and you just can't match her. And I really mean it. Just as you can't match Johny Lever, try as you might. Juhi's got this sense which doesn't go over the top. She'll never ham a comic scene. That is so difficult to do as an actor.
Kunal Khemu (The youngest kid in HHRPK) started his career as a child artiste when he was eight with Mahesh Bhatt's Hum Hain... ''We kids spent more time with Juhi (Chawla), who would draw really funny cartoons for us,'' he recalls.
Shahrukh on Juhi
Juhi is my bestest friend. If I were to personify the 15-16 years that I've spent in the industry, it would be personified by two people and Juhi would be one of them. To me, she's the closest person in the industry. Her family is like my family. I can't do without meeting her. I enjoy her work. I enjoyed working with her. And I say to date that she's one actor I could never outdo. Her comic timing is impeccable, her expressions are beautiful. And again she has huge talent backed by conscientiousness and hard work. Of course, sometimes she can be too finicky and stuck up on detail which can bug you.
I've been in love with her since Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. I really believe I'm blessed to have worked with her. She thinks I'm a fluke. She calls me Lucky Ali. She says you're just lucky, man. Till date she tells me I'm the biggest fluke in the history of Indian cinema. "You have nothing going for you," she says.
When it comes to comic actors I would say Peter Sellers, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey. And among the greatest comic timing actors I've ever seen or ever worked with would be Juhi Chawla. Even now when I have to do a comedy scene, she is my reference point. Can I do it like Juhi? How would she have done it?
The last film I did with her was One Two Ka Four. I saw that film recently on television. She's so funny man. I keep harping on her comic timing because I believe that for an actor to be great they have to be great at comedy. So that way Juhi is one of the finest, finest actors.
But I feel Juhi didn't get enough people to exploit her talent. Just like Amitji (Amitabh Bachcan). She has such a range as an actress. Watch her in Teen Deewarein, she's awesome.
On the personal level, I'm so close to her it's like family. The love I feel for her is something I can't describe. I love her kids Jahnvi and Arjun. And my whole point in life is that they should grow up thinking I'm their favourite uncle. It's my duty to completely spoil them. She's a fantastic mother, a little strict. So I feel it's my duty to spoil both of them. When I say I'll make her children rebel against her, she gets disturbed. But I love being with her and her children. We even plan our holidays together. It's one family I wish every happiness.
They're my extended family. So at a personal level, it's like talking about my own household.
Anushka Sharma (On the Live Chat today): I love Juhi Chawla. I feel she has an incredible comic timing and she is a fabulous actress. I remember watching her Miss India video on a website yesterday .. She looks sooo beautiful! (Smiles)
Asin from the Ghajini Fame says besides Aamir & Salman, She is friendly with a lot of people. I meet Sushmita, and my neighbours Juhi, Sridevi & Tabu. I am friendly with all, though I can't stay in constant touch with them. It has been a while since I have been in touch with Deepika or Sonam but whenever we meet we are very friendly to each other. Tabu and Juhi ma'am also live in the same building. We bump into each other in the lift and exchange home-cooked food at times. Sridevi a senior (colleague )and I admire her. She lives in the same building as well. Along with her daughters Jahnavi and Kushi, we go out for movies and dinner now and then.
Anil Kapoor (12 Mar 1995): If i find someone actually good which these days, Juhi Chawla is, then i do whatever i can for her. In my own small way, I'd like to contribute to her career and success.
Anil Kapoor (December 17 2007): As for me, I really like my track with Juhi Chawla in Salaam E Ishq. In our heydays, Juhi and I just did three films together. We should've done a lot more films together. We're really compatible." Remind him that he was equally enthusiastic about Mallika Sherawat in his last release Darna Zaroori Hai, and Anil screams, "Arrey yaar, tu marwayega. Please don't compare Juhi with Mallika. But yes I was really impressed by Mallika's performance in Murder. She has a lot of spirit."
Sameera Reddy's Sister Sushma Reddy says "Juhi Chawla inspired me to become an actor. I really enjoy her comic timing"
Rakesh Roshan says, "It was a five-day shoot for one of the songs for Krazzy 4 when Juhi had an eye infection and we shot every day. Juhi is a disciplined actress. We share a good rapport. She's like family."
Saif Ali Khan on Juhi: I really admire Juhi. My wife Amrita speaks highly of Juhi as well. The reason actors like Aamir & Srk admire, respect and are Juhi's friends because Juhi is great!
Old Quote of Big B on Juhi: I am in awe of Juhi, she has simplicity and naturalness that I rarely see in other actresses
