Madhuri’s husband reveals the secret to their 27 years of happy married life

Bangla Press Desk : The news of Madhuri Dixit’s marriage once broke the hearts of millions of fans across the globe. At the peak of her acting career, the charismatic Bollywood actress chose physician Dr. Shriram Nene as her life partner and moved to the United States.
Twenty-seven long years have passed since she stepped away from the glitz and glamour of the silver screen. Yet, even after all this time, their enduring and harmonious marital bond remains an exemplary model for many. Recently, Madhuri’s husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, opened up about the secret behind their long-lasting journey together.
Eight years into her marriage, in 2007, Madhuri made a spectacular comeback to the big screen with the film *Aaja Nachle*. Later, her performance in the song "Ghagra" from the movie *Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani* left an indelible mark on the audience. Since returning to Mumbai permanently in 2011, the popular actress has continued to captivate viewers with diverse projects, including *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*, *Mrs. Deshpande*, and *Maa Bahen*.
Meanwhile, Dr. Shriram Nene has recently embraced a new role. Venturing into the realms of writing and health awareness, he has published a new book titled *21 Days to Good Health*. In a special interview held to mark the book's release, he shared several lesser-known details about their personal life. The physician spoke candidly about how the couple has maintained a profound and genuine understanding for nearly three decades. "Madhuri and I are very fortunate," says Dr. Nene. "Our perspectives, dietary habits, and lifestyles are quite similar. I believe everyone is beautiful, but one shouldn't focus solely on external beauty. Instead, one should do what is necessary for one's own functional capacity and well-being."

Reflecting on the key to a successful marriage, he noted that viewing each other as equals and maintaining mutual respect form the very foundation of their relationship. They do not believe in the concept of a man’s absolute authority or dominance within the household. Instead, they manage their domestic life together, sharing responsibilities equally.

Shriram says, “We are partners to each other. Our household is not of the traditional, old-fashioned kind, where one person acts as the head of the family while the others remain dependent. We are both equal partners in our family. We respect one another, and it is this mutual respect that keeps our relationship moving forward.”

He further adds that sharing both small and large household responsibilities, and standing by each other during life’s difficult moments, is of the utmost importance. Moreover, both have their own professional lives and spheres of work, where neither interferes unnecessarily in the other’s domain.

Meanwhile, fans are also curious about the secret behind Madhuri and Shriram’s good health. With a smile, Shriram explains that there is no magic trick or hidden secret involved; rather, a disciplined lifestyle is the key to their fitness.

Shriram Nene has always been involved in sports, while dance is an integral part of Madhuri’s life. In Shriram’s words, “We both follow a disciplined routine. Physical exercise and discipline are vital components of our lifestyle; they are what help us stay healthy.”

On October 15 of this year, Madhuri and Shriram marked 27 years of marriage. This celebrity couple believes that the core strength of their long journey together lies in their mutual respect, the equal sharing of responsibilities, and their unwavering support for one another.
