Madhuri Dixit – The Dhak Dhak Girl Overtakes SRK & Big B

This is serious news for all you Madhuri Dixit fans. No less than 5.6 per cent of homes with cable and satellite television watched dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on day one.

This was head and shoulders above Kaun Banega Crorepati, anchored by Amitabh Bachchan, which opened with a viewership of 4 per cent on the channel, while Shah Rukh Khan’s Zor Ka Jhatka on NDTV Imagine managed just 2.6 per cent viewership.

For years, there has been an unwritten rule in showbiz that married actresses, especially those with children, don’t sell. Dixit, now in her 40s, married a US-based doctor some years ago and bid adieu to the entertainment industry – but the industry does not seem ready to let go of her so easily. 

“I am glad people still think of me so highly and are willing to work with me,” she says. Source
