Madhoo Shah refuses mother’s role with Ajay Devgn in films terms it ageism and gender…
Remember Madhoo Shah. She had played the romantic lead with Ajay Devgn in the Kuku Kohli directorial
“Phool Aur Kaante” which was the debut film of Ajay Devgn.
Amid her conversation on Maitri a female collective by Amazon Prime with Malavika Mohanan, Aishwarya Rajesh and others
on ageism and gender, Madhoo expressed of not playing a mother to Ajay Devgn in his films.
The actress also talked on how female actresses would only play a catalyst in a man’s mission while everything in the film revolved around men. Adding that it was the reason she left the industry at that point. The actress shared that she did a lot of films by then and with substantial roles and did not have complaints as she got to dance a lot in films.
However, she adds that after Veteran Mani Ratnam directorial “Roja” going back to only dancing was not what she wanted. She was really unhappy. And that’s when she decided to quit. The actress says that in her childish arrogance, she quit films and wrote a letter to everyone and expressed her intentions too. However, she later realised that she is an artist and came back to face the camera again.
On the work front, Madhoo was seen in Samantha Ruth Prabhu starrer Shaakuntalam.
