Madhuri Dixit- Shriram Nene Anniversary: When actress revealed her husband only recognized Amitabh Bachchan at their wedding reception

As a dedicated follower of Madhuri Dixit’s illustrious career, I find it heartwarming to delve into the lesser-known aspects of her personal life, particularly her 25-year journey with Dr Shriram Nene. The anecdote about her husband’s unfamiliarity with her Bollywood fame is a testament to their unique bond and the charm that lies in unexpected discoveries.


In the ’90s, Madhuri Dixit reigned supreme with her mesmerizing smile, remarkable dance skills, and expressive eyes that connected deeply with the audience. For many years, she was cherished by millions of adoring fans scattered across the world. However, in 1999, she caused a great deal of sadness among numerous fans when she wed Dr Shriram Nene in an arranged marriage. On October 17, their intimate wedding ceremony took place. As they celebrate 25 years of marital harmony this year, we reminisce about the time when the Dhak Dhak Girl shared that her husband could only identify Amitabh Bachchan at their wedding reception.

Back in a chat with Simi Garewal, during an earlier interview, the enchanting Madhuri Dixon – star of Devdas – shared tales about her beloved husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, who, astonishingly, was oblivious to my Bollywood escapades and scarcely knew any B-town celebrities. She revealed, “I believe the only star he recognized at our wedding reception was none other than Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He had caught a glimpse of him in school while watching Amar Akbar Anthony.” The actress added that it was when Nene laid eyes on Big B, he exclaimed, “I think I’ve seen that face before.” It was then she clarified that he had watched the iconic movie.

In an earlier conversation, she mentioned that since her husband was unaware of her fame in India and her extensive film career, she and her mother-in-law showed him one of her songs. However, he refused to watch it and suggested doing something else instead. When the host asked what drew her to him, Dixit replied that they shared some similarities and differences at the same time.

In an interview, The Fame Game personality explained that actors often bring their past experiences with them. However, he didn’t have any preconceived ideas about Madhuri, something he believes wouldn’t be possible in India due to her high profile. Madhuri Dixit and Shriram Nene, a doctor from Los Angeles, got married at the residence of her elder brother in Southern California. After getting married, Madhuri left her acting career behind and moved abroad for almost a decade. They have two sons named Arin and Ryan.
