Madhuri returns India permanently with her family!

Madhuri Dixit, Husband Shriram Nene

Bollywood dhak dhak girl Madhuri Dixit, who shifted base to Denver in the US after marrying Shriram Nene 12 years ago, has landed in India with her doctor husband Shriram Nene and two kids.

'Both my husband and I felt there's so much we can do back home. Whether it's in our profession or on a humanitarian level, we feel there's a lot that we can contribute to our own lives and to society,' Madhuri told.

Madhuri Dixit tells her decision to return to India was taken a while ago and was based on a belief that they could do more, on a professional level, back home. Asked what promoted the decision, Madhuri told, 'We had been toying with the idea for quite some time. We now think maybe this is the right time. The kids need to discover their roots. India is growing into a formidable power. It's become the new land of opportunities.'

'Both my husband and I felt there's so much we can do back home. Whether it's in our profession or on a humanitarian level, we feel there's a lot that we can contribute to our own lives and to society,' Madhuri told.

She agreed that the uprooting process would be far more difficult for her husband since he has a thriving medical career in the US. 'Yes, one had to think it to a complete and logical conclusion. It was a very hard decision for us. But once we made up our minds to return to India, we're quite sure we'll see our decision through.'

'Of course for me coming back to India is not such a great change. I've been in and out of India all the time after wedding. For him it's going to be a little more difficult. Sriram loves India and Indian food. He had it in the back of his mind that one day we'd return. But so far we didn't act on it.'

On how the change would impact her sons, she told, 'I thought it would be great if they grew up in India. They'd know their culture, their roots. They'd know where they come from. India is so rich culturally. There's so much for them to do and learn at home in India.'

She told this was the right age for them to return to India, as being so young, the children could adapt. 'If they got older, it would be harder for them. They're excited about going to India. Of course they're sad to leave behind their friends here. But they know they will make new friends there. Nowadays the schools in the US are not very different from the ones in Mumbai. And kids adapt very quickly. In no time my sons will make friends.”
