When Ashok Saraf appeared on Sony Marathi’s Kon Honar Crorepati, he took host Madhuri Dixit down memory lane, recalling their time together on her debut film, Abodh. The veteran actor, who was accompanied by Sankarshan Karhade to promote their film Aadi Anant, remembered that Madhuri was just 16 and preparing for her Class 12 examinations when they worked together. Madhuri also recalled how her exams led to the film’s shooting schedule being pushed to May.
Ashok Saraf recalls Madhuri Dixit preparing for class 12 exams at 16 during Abodh shoot, Madhuri says, “But why are you calling me ‘Madam’? Call me Madhuri”
The conversation began when Saraf joked that he did not feel nervous seeing Madhuri in the host’s chair, as they had known each other for several years. Recalling their first meeting, he said, “Perhaps nobody here knows this, but I’d already met you many years ago. Madam and I worked together in a film called Abodh. That film was the beginning of her career. It was her first film,” he recalled.
Madhuri was quick to question why he addressed her as “Madam.” “But why are you calling me ‘Madam’? Call me Madhuri,” she said. Responding to her, Saraf explained that he was using the formal address because she was seated in the host’s chair. “If I met you outside, I’d say, ‘Hey, how are you? You’re doing well, right?’” he added. Madhuri responded, “But we share such a close, affectionate bond.”
As the two continued recalling their time on the sets of Abodh, Saraf brought up Madhuri’s studies during the film’s shoot. He told her, “You were sixteen, and you had your exams.” Madhuri remembered the circumstances and said, “I had my Class 12 exams then. That’s why our shoot was postponed to May,” she said, adding that they met again during Koyla.
