After marrying Dr. Shriram Nene in 1999, Madhuri Dixit moved to the US, where she enjoyed a peaceful life with her family. She cherished spending time with her children and living her dream. However, the couple eventually returned to India, and in a recent interview, Madhuri shared the reasons for their decision.

She explained that family factors played a significant role. Her parents, who had been living with her, wished to return to India as they aged. Despite her siblings and Ram’s family residing in the US, Madhuri valued being close to her parents given their past support in her career. Additionally, managing work between India and the US was challenging for Madhuri, leading to their decision to settle in India.

Dr. Nene, who worked as a physician in the US, sought to create a healthcare system in India focused on early intervention and wellness, matching his aspirations. Madhuri felt that the move to India aligned perfectly with their family goals, as it allowed her to be closer to her work while granting Dr. Nene the opportunity for a fresh start. Together, they decided the transition was the right step for their family’s future.
