THERE’S NO SUBSTITUTE TO HARD WORK, SAYS MADHURI

Actor Madhuri Dixit Nene says she has tried to give her best in every role in her life — right from being an actor to a mother to a wife. “I was fortunate to get good songs and collaborate with amazing choreographers to create such memorable songs which are loved and enjoyed till date so much,” says Madhuri, who is often referred to as the dancing diva in Bollywood.

The 51-year-old, who is married to Shriram Nene, adds that there is “no substitute” to hard work. The actor, who will next be seen in films Kalank and Total Dhamaal, says, “To succeed, 2% is genius and 98% is hard work. I have tried to give my best in every role in my life, right from being an actor, dancer, mother, wife.”

Talking about dancing as her passion and having judged dance reality shows on TV, she says, “One of the most important aspects of dancing is growing and practising every day.”
