Madhuri Dixit’s plans

Madhuri Dixit Nene’s sons Arin and Raayan are 16 and 14 years respectively and will soon be old enough to start building their careers.

However, it remains to be seen whether the actress — like her contemporaries such as Anil Kapoor and Sridevi — is also planning to get them to follow in her footsteps. “I do not know what they want to do. It depends on their choice, whether they want to enter films or not. I will not force my sons to pick up anything that I want them to do and launch them or something like that,” she said at a media interaction recently.

“I am of the opinion that children should pursue what they are passionate about. We should support our children in the field of work that they want to pursue. When they are going to work tomorrow, they should not feel that they are dragging themselves to work or merely going there to work. They should have a lot of enthusiasm in what they are doing and hence I will encourage them to do what they want,” Madhuri added about her sons, who are preparing for their end-of-year exams now.

“Whenever I think of their exams, I start getting stressed. We need to teach them with a lot of love and in an easy manner that they can understand and will be able to explain so when they write their papers. Parents should stay calm and not pressurise their children. We should never put any pressure on them and try and support the talent of our children in a field that they will be able to perform,” she concludes.
