Madhuri Dixit has spoken about her sons not being very interested in her films when they were younger. <\/p>\n

Madhuri Dixit<\/a>\u2019s filmography has seen a drastic shift in the last decade, as the actor has taken on more diverse roles, often with shades of grey darker than anything she has done in the past. In her latest web series, Mrs Deshpande, the veteran actor plays a serial killer. In a chat with Hindustan Times ahead of the show\u2019s release, Madhuri spoke about why making a killer likeable did not perturb her, and how her sons view her work.<\/p>\n

Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri\u2019s frequent collaborator, once refused to play a tyrant because he was wary of making him too likeable. For Madhuri, an actor with a similar aura, playing a serial killer had similar challenges. But the actor says her focus was on making her relatable. \u201cOutside, she’s just a housewife. Yeah. She loves to cook, make her modaks,\u201d she says, adding, \u201cSo, it\u2019s not like the loud villainy. It’s like the very quiet silence. It’s inside the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018My sons hadn\u2019t seen my films’<\/p>\n

We point out to Madhuri that her recent work, in the darker genres, is something her sons – Arin (22) and Ryan (20) – are likelier to watch, and she laughs. The actor says, \u201cIt\u2019s funny, but my kids, growing up, had not seen a lot of my films. They have seen more films of mine after they went to college, and because of their Indian friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madhur shares that her sons\u2019 classmates would often ask them if they had seen a particular movie of their mom, and they would say no. \u201cThey\u2019d be like: \u2018What are you saying!\u201d said Madhuri. The actor said her sons watched many of her older films after they finished school on their classmates\u2019 insistence.<\/p>\n

Mrs Deshpande, Madhuri’s new series, is directed by Nagesh Kukunoor. It also stars Priyanshu Chatterjee and Siddharth Chandekar in key roles. The show is streaming on JioHotstar.<\/p>\n
