Madhuri Dixit is one of the biggest actresses in Bollywood. Over the last four decades Madhuri has worked in various films and had plenty of co-stars. However what if we tell you that the actress has a godfather in Bollywood who has helped her in every term? Not just that he is the one person who gave Hindi cinema its Dhak Dhak girl. Yes you read that right! If you are wondering who we are talking about then this person is none other than Subhash Ghai. Every time when Bollywood’s most iconic directors are being discussed Subhash Ghai’s name often tops the chart. While today Ghai is one of the most celebrated directors before filmmaking he actually ventured into acting. He delivered a hit before but later stepped away from the limelight and did his magic behind the lens. He launched Madhuri Dixit and brought her to stardom. Subhash made his acting debut in the early ’60s with a few brief but noticeable roles. However in the 1960s when the film Aradhana became a blockbuster starring Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore it also brought fame to Ghai. He also featured in movies like Umang Bharat Ke Shaheed Sherni and Natak. But he soon understood that acting was not his destination. So he switched to direction in 1979 taking up his first directorial project Kalicharan. The movie became a blockbuster and opened the gates of opportunities for Ghai. Over the next few years he directed movies like Karz Hero Saudagar Karma Pardes and became the man who is fondly called someone who revolutionised Indian cinema. In 1989 Ghai took a bold move and re-introduced Madhuri Dixit in the film Ram Lakhan. The movie also starred Anil Kapoor. With lots of expectations Ghai’s move proved to hit the jackpot. Madhuri’s magnificent performance was loved by the audience and she became an overnight sensation. What makes Subhash Ghai’s journey truly remarkable is his courage to embrace change and his willingness to evolve fearlessly.
