Madhuri Dixit has played several roles with aplomb on screen. But the one that's closest to her heart is not a character she has played on screen, but her real life role of being a mother to her two sons Arin and Raayan Nene. The Bollywood diva is not only a true testament to how a fantastic artist should be like, but she's also a great example to all mothers out there. Today, as she turns 52, she discusses her life with her two kids and how she tries her hand at being a modern day parent.
She tells us that she and her sons are more like 'friends'. "We discuss everything - from what happens in school to what's going on in their lives. We talk about everything under the sun. We're more like friends to them, but I have always maintained that I'm a mother too. One has to be open for a give and take. You need to listen to them to understand what's going on." Arin and Raayan also love the classic movies that MD has been a part of. She smiles, "That day, my kid was telling me he wants to learn hip hop. 'Have you done hip hop?' he asked me. I asked him to watch Que Sara Sara and they found it really cool. It was nice. They keep watching my films as and when they get time and it's on TV. They have a few favourites which keep changing each time."
Now that they are both teenagers, we are curious to know if they also have an opinion on the kind of projects she takes up. Pat comes the response from Mads. "My kids are too young to ask them about what films I should be doing. Something had happened and I was thinking maybe I shouldn't because I thought what if I can't pull it off. But then, my younger one said, 'Mom you're an actress. You should be able to do any kind of role'," she giggles. The Kalank actress adds, "They are also very open and educated. Kids know so much nowadays and it's amazing to see the kind of information they have. They will sit and analyse a whole movie. They would say things like 'Why would they do it?' and 'There are too many sub plots'. When we were kids, we would just go and watch a film and clap. Today, thanks to my kids, I know I'm catering to that kind of audience who's much more informed. You need to keep up with the times."
