Last year in the month of June on the occasion of Madhuri Dixit mother’s birthday, the actress penned a beautiful and heartfelt note on her social media handle in which she wrote “Happy Birthday, Aai! They say a mother is a daughter’s best friend. They couldn’t be any more right. From everything that you’ve done for me, the lessons that you’ve taught have been the biggest gift for me from you. I wish you only good health & happiness.”
This wholehearted note shows the love, gratitude and closeness the actress had with her mother. Her other Instagram posts also show her beautiful relationship with her mother.
Very few people know that Madhuri ‘s mother also collaborated with her in a 2013 released movie gulab gang. The Film maker Anubhav Sinha said in an interview that “When we approached Madhuri to sing a song in the film, she happily agreed to do so. When she came for the recording, she came with her mom and we discovered her mom is a very good singer. So we asked her mom if she could sing a song. Eventually, we got both Madhuri and her mom to sing a song in the film.”
Demise of Snehlata Dixit is indeed a very emotional and downhearted moment for the entire Dixit and Nene family, specifically for Madhuri who was in a very close relationship with her mother.
