Director MF Hussain recently obtained Qatar citizenship. Any thoughts?
I can’t comment on it. I have no idea if he has already got it or not. I am not in touch with him and haven’t spoken to him for a long time. He’s busy travelling and we lost touch. He’s on an insatiable search to learn something new all the time. He wants to learn so many things and is willing to travel or do whatever is required for that. In his art too Hussain saab is someone who goes all out. There were times when he would keep painting for hours and I would tell him to relax.
He would tell me ‘Madhuri, when I paint, I relax.’ Art is his relaxation.
Any plans to come back home for more films?
I will come back when I get good offers.
The film has to be presented well, the script has to be interesting and exciting but not necessarily centred around me. I miss my art (acting) but my kids are small and that has kept me very busy.
Right now, I don’t have time to do anything else.
It’s 25 years since your first film ‘Abodh’ released.
I am honoured to be a part of this wonderful industry. It has given me so much and has been a beautiful place to be in. The film industry gave more than what I ever dreamt of.
A lot of stars are on Twitter. Have you thought about it?
I have heard Twitter is a big thing now and people keep asking me to join it. But I always tell them I have two twittering things in my house - my seven-year-old Arin and five-year-old Ryan who keep me busy all the time!
What’s happening to the Broadway musical dance show Saroj Khan was planning with you?
I have to talk to Saroj and find out what she’s planning and what’s on her mind. Nothing has been finalised and it’s too early to talk about it.
Is it true that Subhash Ghai is writing a script for you?
Let’s see if something good and exciting comes my way. I’ll let you know when it does.
