In an industry filled with talented dancers,
Madhuri Dixit is a cut-above the rest—and she can act to boot. She debuted in 1984 and became a star as the lead in
Tezaab in 1988. She won her first Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance opposite
Aamir Khan in the smash-hit romantic drama
Dil in 1990—and many more hits and awards followed. She has danced to many of the most famous Bollywood songs ever, including “Maar Daala” from the lush drama
Devdas (2002), in which she appeared with
Shahrukh Khan and
Aishwarya Rai. She married an Indian-American doctor in 1999 and moved to Denver, where she currently lives with her husband and two sons. After a long hiatus, the 40-something actress made a comeback in 2007 in
Aaja Nachle—a mediocre film, but in it, she proved she’s still got the moves.
