Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, who recently made an appearance in the web series ‘The Fame Game’ says her on-screen character Anamika Anand, a Bollywood star, differs from her real self. Speaking with filmmaker Karan Johar in his talk show, Madhuri compared herself with the role.
“Nothing fazes me, I forge ahead always. There are so many other things I can do in life. But I don’t think Anamika would be able to deal with things the way I do. She would be a mess. If she walks into a room and nobody recognizes her, she’ll go mad. She’s like my evil twin,” the actress said.
In the interview, Karan mentions a particular “volatile” scene in the series in which Anamika undergoes an emotional breakdown. “And you know you have to walk on stage and give that showbiz smile and pretend like nothing’s wrong. As Madhuri Dixit, have you had moments like that? How have you managed those situations?” asked Karan.
Madhuri replied, “Well, yeah, there have been such moments yes. Well, somewhere you have to compartmentalise - if that’s the right word. You lose somebody close to you, and that sorrow is right there in you. But then you have to go on a set and do a scene that is the complete opposite. So you have to just forget everything at that moment. Once the camera is on, you have to forget all those things.”
Madhuri has been earning the love of audiences with her stellar performance in the show. Created by Sri Rao, the show stars Madhuri in the role of a successful actor who goes missing. ‘The Fame Game’ also stars Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Lakshvir Saran and Suhasini Muley.
