Mumbai: Actress Madhuri Dixit once opened up about an unforgettable moment from her illustrious career involving veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah.
Reflecting on their collaboration, Madhuri revealed how Shah’s extraordinary natural acting momentarily stunned her during a scene, causing her to forget her lines. A resurfaced video shows the “Dhak Dhak” girl recounting this experience from the 1996 film Rajkumar.
In the video, the ‘Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam’ actress says, “When I shot my first scene with him, in the very first scene when he started talking, he is such a good actor. He started talking so naturally that I forgot my lines. For one or two minutes, I went blank. Then, of course, we picked it up, but he has done an incredible job in this film. He has two shades in the film, contrasting opposite personalities. He is brilliant in the film.”
“Rajkumar”, a 1996 historical fantasy directed by Pankaj Parashar, also featured Anil Kapoor in the titular role. Naseeruddin Shah portrayed the dual roles of Man Singh and Surjan Singh.

Madhuri and Naseeruddin Shah have also shared the screen in films like Tridev and Gaja Gamini. In 2014, they reunited in Abhishek Chaubey’s black comedy Dedh Ishqiya. Produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bhardwaj, it was the sequel to the 2010 film Ishqiya and featured Shah as Ifthekhar Hussain, while Madhuri played Begum Para.
Meanwhile, Madhuri is basking in the success of her latest release, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.” Directed by Anees Bazmee, the horror-comedy stars Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Sanjay Mishra, Triptii Dimri, and Rajpal Yadav. The film, which was released on November 1, has become Kartik’s fastest project to cross the Rs 150-crore mark. It clashed with Rohit Shetty’s star-studded “Singham Again” at the box office.
