Madhoo recently referred to Shah Rukh Khan as her celebrity infatuation lauded him, and explained why she turned down the role of Baazigar.
Actress Padma Malini, better known by her stage name Madhoo Shah, is well-known in the Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema industries. Shah Rukh Khan is the actress’s celebrity obsession, and she has appeared in films like Phool Aur Kaante, Roja, Allari Priyudu, Yodha, and others.
Additionally, she talked openly about turning down films, including “Baazigar” with SRK. Continue reading to find out her reasoning for rejecting that beloved movie and what she thinks of the “King of Bollywood.” “In fact, because I was focused on five film industries (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada), I never did more than one film at a time. I was busy doing films in all the states and I had no regrets. I had to reject ‘Baazigar’. I was offered Shilpa Shetty’s role, but as I said, I have no regrets at all.” She added, “I didn’t do ‘Baazigar’ because I was doing some other movie. I don’t want to erase any experiences in life”.
Talking about SRK, she said, “When one talks about a crush, the first name that comes to my mind is Shah Rukh Khan. His charisma and the way he does things on screen, what he represents, appeals to me. I am his biggest fan. Even when his films flop, he doesn’t do well at the box office or he does horrible work, he is just like a God.”
She said, “In those days, I was very busy, and there were quite a few Bollywood offers that I could not take up. I could not do a Hindi film because I was busy doing a Tamil film, and vice versa.”
While Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 and Jawan and Dunki will soon be released, Madhoo’s upcoming projects include Ennitu Avasanam, Vilpana, a Netflix anthology, and Samantha’s Shaakuntalam.
