The dhak dhak girl of yesteryears, Madhuri Dixit, will soon appear in “The Kapil Sharma Show” to promote her forthcoming Netflix series “The Fame Game.” The promo, with host Kapil joking about husband Dr Shriram Nene (a cardiothoracic surgeon), has gone viral.
The teaser shows Kapil entering hand-in-hand with Madhuri as he croons to Pehla Pehla Pyaar Hai. “Jab Dr Nene ne aapka pehli baar haath pakda, unhone ‘I love you’ bola tha ya unhone bola ‘Koi aur doctor bulao, meri dhadkan tez ho rahi hai’ (When Dr Nene first held your hand, did he say ‘I love you’ or did he say ‘Call another doctor, my heart is racing’)?” Kapil asked, leaving Madhuri in splits.
In an earlier promo, Kapil called Madhuri ageless and asked her about men falling head-over-heels in their bid to get her attention. “Mujhe Dr Nene yaad aa jaate hai (I am reminded of my husband Dr Shriram Nene),” she replied.
All set to make her digital debut with “The Fame Game,” come February 25 and the dancing diva will make the OTT innings. The plot revolves around a superstar who goes missing, and the search which leads to painful truths behind the flawless facade of family. Directed by Karishma Kohli and Bejoy Nambiar, the show also stars Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Lakshvir Saran, Suhasini Muley and Muskkaan Jafari.
Madhuri first met Shriram at her brother’s house and they tied the knot on October 17, 1999. After getting married, she moved to the US for a few years but returned to India in 2011. The couple has two sons – Arin and Ryan.
