Madhuri Dixit is one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars, but when it comes to her sons, Arin and Ryan, the actress doesn’t push them to watch her films. In fact, she finds it a little strange to ask them to watch her movies. However, her latest film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, has managed to break this rule and capture their attention.

In a recent interview, Madhuri shared that her sons, who are currently living in the United States and pursuing their studies, don’t often watch her work. “I find it odd to ask them to watch my films,” she admitted. “I don’t make them sit and watch my movies. They’ll discover it themselves with their friends.”

However, Madhuri was pleased to reveal that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was an exception. Her sons went to a theater in the US with their friends to watch the film. “They thought the film was very funny, and they really enjoyed watching it,” Madhuri said. “They loved me as a ghost in the film. So, I can say that for this movie, I’ve got their approval.”

Madhuri also mentioned that her sons occasionally watch clips of her movies and share their thoughts with her. “They recently watched the video of K Sera Sera and told me that I was really cool in it. That’s how they sometimes watch some of my clips,” she added.

A New Challenge: Madhuri’s Role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

Madhuri Dixit’s appearance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is special because she stepped into a new genre—horror comedy. In an interview with PTI, she spoke about how much she enjoyed playing this role. “When I heard the script, I loved my role because it gave me something different to do,” Madhuri explained. “I’ve never played a character in a horror comedy before, so I thought it would be something new for me.”

The film is the third installment in the popular Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, which started in 2007 with director Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The first film, starring Akshay Kumar, was a huge success. In the second film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), Kartik Aaryan took the lead role as Rooh Baba. Madhuri Dixit plays a pivotal role in the latest movie, joining a star-studded cast that includes Vidya Balan and Kartik Aaryan.

Vidya Balan, who played the iconic role of Manjulika in the first film, returns to reprise her character in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, 17 years after the first movie’s release. Madhuri’s character in the film has also received praise, especially for her portrayal of a ghost.

Box Office Success

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, was released on November 1, 2024, and quickly became a box office success. The film had a strong opening, despite facing competition from Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again. As of now, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has earned over ₹300 crore worldwide, proving that audiences are still loving the mix of horror, comedy, and drama.

Madhuri Dixit’s role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a refreshing change, and it’s clear that her sons enjoyed the film. Despite her initial reluctance to have her children watch her films, Madhuri can be happy knowing that this one has won them over.

Conclusion

While Madhuri Dixit doesn’t encourage her sons to watch her movies, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has clearly broken that trend. The film’s mix of humor, horror, and a strong cast, including Madhuri in a unique role, has not only entertained audiences but also earned the approval of her kids. This just goes to show that sometimes, even the stars can be surprised by what resonates with their family!
