‘Main Madhuri Dixit
nahin banna chahti!’
THE Mast girl is cruising along the Road to success and is all poised to be in the Company of big league stars. Not just a star, this sizzling beauty dreams of becoming nothing short of Madhuri Dixit. Antara Mali reveals what it was like playing Madhuri Dixit in Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon. Was it difficult playing Chutki in Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon? It was a great challenge to portray someone who’s so well-known. This is what made me go for the film. No other actress has ever attempted such a role. No one has yet portrayed another actress. During filming did you at any time wish you were as big a star as Madhuri Dixit? Not at all. With due respects to her, I don’t want to be Madhuri Dixit or anyone else for that matter. I have my own identity. Right from the days I entered movies, I was clear in my mind that I’d be Antara Mali and won’t imitate any star. If not in real life how was it like being Madhuri Dixit on screen? To be in the shoes of one of the greatest actresses of our times was very thrilling. The film has been a great learning experience and I have certainly grown as a performer. |
