* Vidya Balan’s Admiration for Madhuri Dixit: In a nostalgic interview, actress Vidya Balan revealed that Madhuri Dixit’s performance in Tezaab inspired her dream of acting. Reflecting on her school days, Balan recalled being so captivated by Madhuri's role that she wanted to be a “junior Madhuri Dixit.” Now a prominent actress herself, Vidya expressed gratitude for achieving her dream of working in films, even if she couldn’t exactly replicate Madhuri’s journey.

Reunited in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Balan and Dixit recently shared the screen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a long-awaited installment in the horror-comedy series. Vidya reprises her haunting role as Manjulika, while Madhuri appears as Mandira, reincarnating an iconic character. The film also features Sanjay Mishra, Triptii Dimri, and Rajpal Yadav, and opened in theaters on November 1, competing with Singham Again.

The latest film expands on the franchise's supernatural themes, with the Vidya-Madhuri pairing as a major highlight for fans.

Conclusion: Vidya Balan’s journey from aspiring “junior Madhuri Dixit” to sharing the screen with her idol in a major franchise film marks a memorable milestone in her career.
