NEW DEHLI: Madhuri Dixit shows tough love when it comes to her sons Arin and Raayan. “There is one thing that I am really strict about my kids and that is (making sure that they are) brushing teeth twice a day. No matter how tired they are or how late they are arriving after attending birthday parties, I make sure that they brush their teeth,” Madhuri said.
“Brushing teeth for two minutes every morning and night is very important,” said the actor, who is the face of oral care brand Oral B.
Madhuri, who married Sriram Nene, a doctor, in 1999, also feels that “a family is very important in Indian culture” and it is necessary to have a healthy family.
After having started her acting career with the 1984 film Abodh, Madhuri went on to cement her space in Hindi movies with entertainers like Dil To Pagal Hai. If acting came naturally to her, her fluid dancing skills, grace and charming smile made her a favourite among the best of banners, actors and filmmakers.
The actor is currently on a break from Bollywood, and was last seen alongside Juhi Chawla in Gulaab Gang. When asked about her plans regarding new projects, the actor was vague in her response. “I will let people know whenever I decide to work,” she said.
Dixit also feels that a “smile says a thousand words and when you smile, the world smiles with you.”
