Madhuri Dixit was booed on stage at IIT Bombay

Madhuri spoke on ANI’s podcast about how she began training in Kathak at the age of three and has given numerous

performances over the years. She then recalled how she and her sister once performed at the Mood Indigo cultural fest in

IIT Bombay, where they had to dance through boos and objects were thrown at them. The actor was only ten years old when

this incident occurred.

Recalling how it was not a place where classical dance was often performed, she told the news agency, “By the time we

were about 15 minutes into the show, they were booing and throwing things, like little rockets, onto the stage. I got a

little scared, but my sister said, no, we've got to stand our ground, and you've got to go on. And we performed.”

Madhuri recalls that they eventually won over the students with their performance. “And so....the whole hall was full,

enthralled by what was happening... I was like 10 or 12 years old. I was very young at that time…” she said, stating

that they went on to perform for an hour and a half despite that. The actor has two sisters, Rupa and Bharti. She did

not mention who was performing with her.

When Madhuri Dixit called her sister her ‘favourite dance buddy’

In 2020, Madhuri also posted a childhood picture with one of her pictures, referring to her as her ‘favourite dance

buddy’. The picture shows the actor mid-dance in a red and white Anarkali suit with her sister dressed the same.

Sharing the picture, she wrote, “This is one of my favourite memories that I have with my sister. We used to always take

part in school competitions. Here's sharing a #MajorThrowback childhood memory with my favourite dance buddy. Let me

know what is your favourite childhood memory! P.s. Can you tell us apart?”
