New Year's eve performances at big parties are huge opportunities for actresses to make mega bucks.
Especially for those who aren't great dancers. Every year, the likes of Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu are offered obscene amounts of money - amounting to a few lakhs a minute - to perform at five star hotel bashes.
It seems Madhuri Dixit, who recently shifted base back to Mumbai, wanted to explore this opportunity too. It is learnt that her manager met up with a few organisers and even sent out feelers to a leading event management company about the same. However, Mads' enthusiasm to dance on a medley of her hits wasn't received well, as these performances are not about old Bollywood numbers or the Saroj Khan school of dance, but more about sex appeal. A source reveals, "It was an awkward situation for the organisers. They didn't want to upset her so they simply said that the money wasn't working out."
An insider admits, "Madhuri is keen to perform at an exclusive event for New Year's eve. She had the whole performance planned out and was willing to negotiate on the moolah, but the response she received wasn't enthusiastic. The offers she did get though weren't exciting enough, so she rejected them."
This year, none of the A-list actresses are performing, with Mallika Sherawat being the only relatively famous one to cut a deal of Rs 4 lakh per minute for a 30-minute concert (upwards of Rs 1 crore in total).
When contacted, Madhuri's manager Rikku Rakesh Nath denies her interest
in such a show. He says, "It's not true. She is going on vacation with
her family. She did get some offers to perform for Rs 2.5-3 crore, but
she turned them down."

If Madhuri does not want to make a movie comeback, it is her choice! I am happy to know that if t.v. makes her happy, then so be it. Doing a t.v. show is better than nothing. At least we will get to see her every week again!!! 😃
