Shekhar Suman recently appeared on the series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, since then the actor is praised by its audience for the wonderful performance.
During an interview he recalled his earlier days while working with Madhuri Dixit, he said, “Utsav had gotten delayed and in between that and Anubhav, one day I got a call where a director wanted to sign me for a film called Maanav Hatya, where I played a journalist. However, he only offered me Rs 5000. I had signed Utsav for Rs 25,000 and was given Rs 10,000 as the signing amount. When he offered me Rs 5,000 for this one, I was a little disappointed. He told me it was a new heroine named Madhuri Dixit. I agreed to do that film and met Madhuri at her house. She was resplendent and looked pretty.”
Further he added, “It was the second film for both of us individually, and the producer said they had no money for location and asked me if I could lend my house for the shoot. Later, the producer had no funds to pay for a taxi to pick up Madhuri so he asked me if I could pick her up. I would pick her up on a bike. There was no budget for makeup either so my wife was asked to do it. Madhuri was such a sweet, naive, Maharashtrian girl. The film somehow got completed.”
