In recent days, social media has been abuzz with speculation claiming that Madhuri Dixit was “four months pregnant” while filming the iconic Dola Re Dola sequence from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2002 magnum opus Devdas.
The actor has now addressed the speculation, setting the record straight.
Madhuri clarifies that she was not pregnant while filming the song, citing the timeline of her son’s birth to set the record straight.
“Arin was born in 2003. So, you do the math,” said Madhuri.
Arin Nene, Madhuri Dixit’s elder son, is now 23 years old and was born on March 17, 2003.
Devdas film was released on July 12, 2002, following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2002.
However, Madhuri clarified that although the shoot was physically demanding, her pregnancy was not the reason behind it.
“I was under the weather because I was travelling a lot. I was going back and forth, shooting here and going back. And all my shoots were night shoots. So, for me, it was very grueling. I was a little under the weather, but nothing like that,” added Madhuri.
The clarification comes after Rubina Khan, a former associate of late choreographer Saroj Khan, claimed that Madhuri was pregnant while filming the song.
Picturised on Madhuri and Aishwarya Rai, Dola Re Dola was composed by Ismail Darbar, written by Nusrat Badr, and sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shreya Ghoshal, and KK.
Madhuri’s next project is the Netflix comedy-thriller Maa Behan, which also features Triptii Dimri and Ravi Kishan.
