Madhuri Dixit ( Nene) :
- Born into a Marathi family in 1967.
- Studied in prestigious Mumbai University , became a microbiologist.
- She started dancing since she was 3 , and later on became a professional Kathak dancer.
- Along with these , she also tried modelling and got the breakthrough in 1984 where she was 17
Kindly note, at tender age of 17 , she achieved all she thought ( Studies + Actor + Dancer )
- Next 3 years , she acted in low budget films and she earned positve criticisms
- Next decade ( till 1990’s) saw films like Tezaab, Ram Lakhan , Prem Pratigyaa , Parindaa.
- She infused dancing with acting and became a hit across India.
- 1990–2000 decade : Made her the invincible Queen of Bollywood as she featured in some of the Blockbusters like Khalnayak, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun,Dil Toh Pagal Hai etc.
- At the peak of her popularity in 1999 , she married a surgeon.
- In addition to acting , she has done several stage shows for dancing.
- Along with these , her work towards society is commendable. She distributed the 50 Lakh won in Kaun banega Crorepati to Gujrat Earthquake victims.She also works towards upliftment of women in Rural areas, Primary school education.
So , let me question myself why I consider her to be most intelligent.
- She did not trade off her education for acting.
- She honed her acting skills and saw that her dance does not go unnoticed.
- Many actresses see that they marry some wealthy actors and get settled. But Madhuri Dixit , took a decision which surprised many. She married someone outside her profession , a renowned surgeon.
- She always kept a low profile, which depicts that she is always grounded.
- She also does behind the stage work for underprivileged societies, no hush-push about those.
- Finally, she maintains cordial relationship with almost everyone on the industry.
With these in mind , I could vouch for Mrs.Madhuri Dixit Nene to be the most intelligent actress in India.
