Madhoo Shah recently opened up about her early years in cinema, recalling her experiences of working with legendary stars and the lessons she carried forward. She admitted that turning down Baazigar remains one of her few regrets in life. She also talked about her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>. Speaking about Baazigar, Madhoo told Radio Nasha, \u201cAb jaise maine Pehchaan ke liye lad ke wo role kiya tha. Diljale mein khushi-khushi maine wo role kiya tha. Baazigar ka role pata nahi, mujhe aisa laga yeh role mujhe nahi karna chahiye. So nahi kiya… aur jab ab main dekhti hoon… we like to say \u2018I have no regrets… but I do have a regret. I didn\u2019t do Baazigar.\u201d (I fought to do my role in Pehchaan and happily did Diljale. But for Baazigar, I felt I shouldn\u2019t do that role, so I didn\u2019t. Today, when I look back… we like to say we have no regrets, but I do have one \u2014 I didn\u2019t do Baazigar.)The role eventually went to Shilpa Shetty, and Madhoo acknowledged her performance warmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cShah Rukh, I am your biggest fan… and he said the same to me\u201d<\/p>\n

Madhoo also shared a touching anecdote about Shah Rukh<\/a> Khan, revealing how she once confessed her admiration \u2014 only to receive an unexpected response.\u201cMain Shah Rukh se kai baar mili hoon, lekin kabhi keh nahi paayi ki main unki sabse badi fan hoon… mujhe lagta tha wo \u2018cool\u2019 nahi hoga. Lekin ek party mein hum saath dance kar rahe the… aur maine keh diya, \u2018Shah Rukh, I am your biggest fan.\u2019\u201d (I met Shah Rukh many times but never told him I was his biggest fan… I felt it wouldn\u2019t be \u2018cool\u2019. But once at a party, while dancing together, I finally told him.)<\/p>\n

What followed left her deeply moved.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnhone kaha, \u2018Arre, I am your biggest fan. I saw Roja in Ooty in the theatre. Who the hell knew anybody else from the film? We only know Roja because of you.\u2019\u201d (He said, \u2018I am your biggest fan. I watched Roja in Ooty in a theatre. Who knew anyone else from the film? We know Roja because of you.\u2019)Madhoo added that such generosity of spirit is what defines true greatness. <\/p>\n

\u201cGreatness is in appreciating others\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her early days, Madhoo recalled valuable lessons from industry legends like Shammi Kapoor and Asha Parekh.\u201cShammi ji mere paas aaye aur bole, \u2018Main tumhara bahut bada fan hoon.\u2019 Us din maine seekha \u2014 greatness yeh nahi hai ki hum kya hain, balki yeh hai ki hum doosron ko appreciate karte hain.\u201d (Shammi ji came up to me and said, \u2018I am a big fan of yours.\u2019 That day I learnt that greatness is not about who we are, but about appreciating others.) She also fondly remembered being addressed respectfully by Asha Parekh early in her career, \u201cWoh mujhe \u2018Madhoo ji\u2019 keh rahi thi… aur main ek young ladki thi jinki bas kuch filmein release hui thi. Tab samajh aaya ki great log dusron ko respect dete hain.\u201d (She addressed me as \u2018Madhoo ji\u2019 even though I was a young newcomer with just a few films. That\u2019s when I realised that great people give respect to others.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madhoo Shah recently opened up about her early years in cinema, recalling her experiences of working with legendary…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[165353,93,61,60,9170,165355,165356,165354,165352,270,57473,1266,165350,165351],"class_list":["post-367156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-baazigar-film-discussion","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-madhoo","tag-madhoo-regrest-baazigar","tag-madhoo-rejects-baazigar","tag-madhoo-shah-career","tag-madhoo-shah-regrets","tag-movies","tag-shah-rukh","tag-shah-rukh-khan","tag-shah-rukh-khan-fan","tag-shilpa-shetty-baazigar-role"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
