Actor Madhuri Dixit ruled Hindi cinema in the 1980s and 90s. But she shifted to the US after getting married to Sriram Nene. The couple has now been married for over 23 years and have two children, Arin Nene and Ryan Nene. Madhuri and Sriram of them have ‘challenging’ careers, she has returned to acting in films, and he is practising his career in medicine. But they have a ‘partnership’ where they make sure to look after each other and also their children.

In a recent conversation on her husband’s YouTube channel, Madhuri spoke about being the wife of a physician. She said, “It’s tough because of the kind of time you guys have to keep. It’s hard because then you are the one who is looking after the kids, taking them to school, getting them back and stuff like that. Also, the timings; you might have something important happening but you are not there, you are in the hospital looking after someone else. Sometimes I might be sick and you have to take care of someone else.”

But Madhuri is also proud of her husband for looking after his patients and “fighting for their rights”. She told him, “I know in the heart of heart, you are a very good person. In a marriage, it is important to know your partner.”

“We always had that partnership where we looked after each other and made sure the kids were always looked after and loved. There are times when it is difficult but there are times when we know whatever we are doing in life is for the good and is something we both want,” she shared while adding how her married life has been a “lovely journey”.
