Madhuri Dixit Turned Down Her Role In HSSH
Madhuri Dixit recently addressed rumors that she had turned down a role as Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s sister-in-law in Hum Saath-Saath Hain. In an interview with Zoom, the actor said, “I didn’t say no to Hum Saath-Saath Hain, but the makers felt it would look awkward if I played Salman’s bhabhi. When he comes and touches my feet and all that.”
‘I Was Awkward’ Madhuri On Her Role
She continued, “It is not me who decided these things. There was a story floating around that I said no. Rather, they said no. Sooraj ji said that they were feeling awkward to cast me in that role.” Tabu ultimately portrayed the role.
Tabu Played Madhur’s Role Later
“I think people would have hooted in the theaters if you put me in Tabu’s shoes and imagined Salman touching my feet,” Madhuri had stated in a previous interview with Rediff. And because Hum Aapke Hain Koun was a love story between Salman and me, I believe it to be correct.”
