Madhuri Dixit received the Padma Shri for her contribution to Indian cinema and the former Bollywood diva says the honour is a result of her hard work and honesty.
"It’s always a wonderful feeling to have your work honoured. One has worked so hard for so many years,” said Madhuri. “The Padma Shri is a culmination of all my hard work and honesty. I think I’m being honoured for doing my work sincerely.”
Madhuri’s children are in the US with her in-laws and her parents.
"They’re all there. I guess my kids are lucky to have three sets of parents. My husband was here with me to share this moment. He left on Sunday."
