“It has been more than 15 years but her dedication towards dance is the same. She grabs quickly and is a genius dancer. Her expressions are just perfect.”

“Madhuri is an excellent dancer. She is in the same league with actresses like Waheeda Rehman and Meena Kumari as far as dancing is concerned. She dances with a lot of grace. I think she is the best dancer in Indian cinema after Waheeda Rehman. She reminds me of her,”

“I worked with her for the first time in 1997 for a dance sequence where actor is playing the drum in another room and she dances on those beats.”

“Nightingale of Parliament.”

“Good films flop, atrocious films do well. Uncertainty is the only certainty in this business.”

“Depend on yourself and you will never be let down.”
