Ask Madhuri if she considers anyone as her competitor in the industry, and she says, “I have never believed in that. I do what I like and I enjoy doing what I do. All I can say is I do have strong roles in the films that I am doing — Gulab Gang and Dedh Ishqiya. Both the films have nice characters.”
Gulab Gang is a story of a gang of women fighting against social injustice. The film, directed by Soumik Sen, also stars actors Juhi Chawla, Mahie Gill, Shilpa Shukla and others. “I have met Juhi. She is a very sweet person. It has been wonderful experience to work with her,” says Madhuri, who will also be seen in the sequel to Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya, titled, Dedh Ishqiya. She will be seen with actors Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi in the film. “It is an honour to work with him (Naseeruddin). He is a great actor. Dedh Ishqiya will begin from mid-February,” says Madhuri.
As to how she manages both her professional and personal life, the actor says, “I think I am a multi-tasker. I can do two-three things at a time,” she says.
