Madhuri Dixit graces the IPL pre-match show with her presence

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is probably the biggest festival in the country. The whole of India comes together during the month of April and May to cheer for their favourite teams. Many celebrities are also associated with franchises which means that spectators get to see these Bollywood stars at the stadium. The likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta are even co-owners of franchises participating in the tournament.

A lot of expert analysis is done before the start of the match. The pre-match and post-match shows are an integral part of the IPL as they provide fans with a deeper understanding of the game.

To increase the viewership of these shows, celebrities are often called up to the studios. Madhuri Dixit, who was celebrating her 51st birthday, was in the house before the all-important clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals.

Dancing prowess

The ‘Dhak-Dhak’ girl of Bollywood was present on the pre-match show along with Karan Johar. Known for her iconic dancing prowess and stunning acting skills, Madhuri received heartwarming birthday wishes from her friends from the industry. Veteran actor Anil Kapoor tweeted: “Happy birthday @MadhuriDixit!! May you have a #TotalDhamaal filled day & year ahead & all your #BucketList wishes come true! Wishing you love and luck always!”

Madhuri Dixit made her debut in the industry in 1984 with ‘Abodh’. She did not become an instant hit among the fans but it took her few years to get to the top of the industry. Her pairing with Anil Kapoor was appreciated by fans all over the country and their movies became an instant hit. The two icons appeared in 15 movies opposite each other. Madhuri will be next seen in her first Marathi venture, ‘Bucket List’ which is all set to release on the 25th of May.
