His new film 'Maa Behen' has just been released on the OTT platform Netflix. And Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit is floating in the tide of praise and love of the audience and critics holding this film. Although this Netflix film is a comedy genre, the sharp social message hidden behind its laughter has deeply touched the audience.

The way in which women in the society have to face constant policing and the constant 'slut-shaming' or ugly comments about their character, is very skillfully portrayed in the film. Just like the real society, the entertainment world is constantly scrutinized and closely monitored over the choices, clothes and looks of the heroines. In a recent interview, Madhuri Dixit revealed that when she started her career in the eighties, she too had to face such harsh criticism.

Madhuri Dixit said, "When you are a public figure and you are showing yourself in front of the camera, some people will point fingers at you. 'This is like this', or 'He is like that'. When I started working, many people thought that I was very skinny.

Many people would say face to face - 'At least give it something to eat. It has no meat. It is like a stick.' Through this, the actress clarifies how female artists have to endure body shaming from the beginning of their careers.

Reminding that this is a mental problem in our country, the actress of 'Kalank' and 'Bhool Bhulaya 3' fame further said, "If you gain weight, people will talk about you, and even if you lose weight, you will be criticized. In fact, we have a custom in India - when you meet someone, the first sentence you say is, 'Hey, that's so fat!' or 'That's so dry!' There are no filters or covers.” But according to Madhuri, it was much easier to avoid such comments due to the absence of social media and trolling culture back then. He said, "I believe that we should not let these things affect us and it is not right to listen too much to them.

In our time, like today, people had a critical mindset, but back then, because there was no social media, those harsh words did not reach our ears directly."
