If Mads wants to do more in Bollywood, wethinks she needs to be a little more friendly…
We heard that she was coming back again after Aaja Nachle. Big time. Rumours of big films being offered to her – including the Ishqiya sequel and a film with Sanjay Dutt – flew thick and fast. And then more rumours, this time of Madhuri’s bigger refusals. Either that, or stories that she was quoting a big fee for anything offered to her. We wonder what she charged for judgingJhalak Dikhhla Jaa! But the question is, if she wants to come back, why is she being so elusive? The woman is active some social networking sites and clearly wants attention, with two accounts and regular updates of pictures. She is suddenly appearing in ads and is even associated with a popular chef’s television food channel. She has also been signed on as brand ambassador by a gems and jewellery manufacturer. All this means that her PR machinery is working full tilt. So what is it that’s stopping her from coming all out about her passion and talking to the media? Is it the perception that a mother of two cannot be ambitious again, after taking a long break? The likes of Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, once as elusive, have become big friends with the press now – and are breaking records at the BO and in personal appearances. Maybe Madhuri should be inspired by this accessibility? Come to think of it, she was always like this. Even when she was in the numero uno position as a lead actor, she insisted that she was not the “Hi, how are you, let’s party” types. But things were different then. There was hardly anyone to compete with her. Now that Mads is on the other side of her youth (at 44), wethinks she needs to chill a bit, let go of a li’l of her diva attitude, and reap thebenefits. Of course, every star has the right to privacy. But heck, if you want something, you gotta give something back too. ‘Cos success will come easy, but won’t stay that way…. Ask a certain Mrs Rai-Bachchan about that one!
