Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, she dominated Hindi cinema as a leading
actress and an accomplished dancer. Appearing in numerous commercial successes
and delivering a myriad of critically acclaimed performances, Dixit has
established herself as one of the most respected and prominent female actors in
Bollywood.

was awarded with Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award by the
Government of India.
Maduri Dixit
made her acting debut in Abodh (1984). After a few minor and supporting roles

After a year
of little success, she appeared as Pooja in the blockbuster Dil To Pagal Hai
(1997), for which she won her fourth Filmfare Best Actress Award. In that same
year, Dixit starred in Prakash Jha's critically acclaimed Mrityudand. The film
straddled the boundary between an art and a commercial film. It won the Best
Feature Film at the Cinéma Tout Ecran in Geneva, the Bangkok Film Festival and
the Sansui Awards (Critics' Choice). Her performance in the film also landed
her Best Actress awards at the Star Screen Awards and Sansui Awards.

was applauded and earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. The film
attracted worldwide attention and was featured at the Cannes Film Festival.
The
following year a film named after her, Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon!,
was released in which a woman (played by Antara Mali) aspires to become the new
Madhuri Dixit by trying her luck in the Bollywood industry.
On February
25, 2006 she performed on stage for the first time in six years at the Filmfare
Awards to music from her last movie Devdas. Her performance was choreographed
by Saroj Khan.
Madhuri
Dixit has been the muse for the famous Indian painter M.F. Hussain who
considers her the epitome of womanhood. Hence he made a film named Gaja Gamini
(2000) in which Madhuri acted. The film was intended as a tribute to Ms. Dixit
herself. In this film she can be seen portraying various forms and
manifestations of womanhood including the muse of Kalidasa, Da Vinci's Mona
Lisa, a rebel and a musical euphoria etc.
On December
7, 2006, Dixit returned to Mumbai along with her husband and sons to start
filming for Aaja Nachle (2007). The film released in November 2007 and despite
the critics panning it, Dixit's performance was well received, with the New
York Times commenting about her that "she's still got it".
On Women's International Day in 2007, Dixit
topped Rediff's list of the Best Bollywood Actresses Ever.
