Madhuri Dixit breaks silence on rumours of she rejecting Hum Saath-Saath Hain: “The makers felt it would look awkward if I played Salman Khan’s bhabhi”
Madhuri Dixit recently addressed rumours about her turning down a role as Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s sister-in-law in Hum Saath-Saath Hain. In an interview with Zoom, she explained, “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.”
She further clarified, “It is not me who decided these things. There was a story floating around that I said no. Rather, it was them who said no. Sooraj ji said that they were feeling awkward to cast me in that role.”
The role was ultimately played by Tabu.
In a previous interview with Rediff, Madhuri had mentioned, “If you put me in Tabu’s place and visualized Salman touching my feet, I think people would have hooted in the theatres. And I think it’s right, because of Hum Aapke Hain Koun, which was a love story between Salman and me.”
Hum Saath-Saath Hain is a family drama that centres around a large joint family that eventually falls apart due to a misunderstanding. The film holds a significant place in the history of Hindi cinema.
