Shriram Nene shared a series of old photos from their wedding, showing the couple exchanging rings. They also included photos of them celebrating with family and friends.
Shriram Nene wrote a special message for Madhuri
Sharing the wedding photos, Shriram Nene wrote that on this day, 27 years ago, they vowed to spend their lives together at the Beverly Hills Courthouse in California. At that time, they had no idea where life would take them, but they certainly knew they wanted to travel every journey together.
He further wrote that even after two wonderful sons, countless memories, some challenges, lots of laughter, and a lifetime of love, he would still choose Madhuri again.
Shriram Nene further wrote in his message, “To the beautiful journey we’ve traveled together and all the milestones of life that lie ahead. Happy 27th wedding anniversary, my love. Always together, forever.”
Photos show glimpses of the wedding and celebrations
In the photos shared by Shriram Nene, Madhuri Dixit is seen in a beautiful ivory outfit. In one photo, Shriram Nene is seen putting a ring on her finger, while Madhuri is seen smiling. In another photo, the two are seen celebrating with family and friends. In another photo, they are seen clinking glasses as they celebrate the beginning of their new life.
These photos bring back memories of a period in Madhuri’s life when, at the peak of her Bollywood career, she took a break from films for a while to prioritize her family.
They married in 1999, and Madhuri settled in the US
Madhuri Dixit was born on May 15, 1967. According to reports, when they married on October 17, 1999, she was 32 years old and one of the leading actresses in Hindi cinema. Their wedding, held in California, was a private ceremony.
Shriram Nene is a cardiovascular surgeon by profession and grew up in the US. It is said that before the marriage, he was unaware of Madhuri’s popularity in Bollywood and India. Madhuri has stated on several occasions that meeting Shriram was a special experience for her because she got to know him as a common man rather than a celebrity. The two met through Madhuri’s brother.
After their marriage, Madhuri moved to Denver, Colorado, USA, where Shriram Nene was pursuing his medical career. Their elder son, Arin, was born in March 2003, and their younger son, Ryan, was born in March 2005.
Return to films in 2007, family returns to India in 2011
Madhuri largely stayed away from films while spending time with her family, although she remained involved in some professional activities. In 2007, she returned to the big screen with Anil Mehta’s musical drama “Aaja Nachle.” In the film, she played Diya, a dancer who returns to her hometown to save her guru’s theater.
Following this, in 2011, Madhuri, Shriram Nene, and their two sons returned to India permanently. After returning to India, Madhuri gradually increased her film involvement and appeared in films such as “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,” “Gulab Gang,” “Total Dhamaal,” “Kalank,” “Majaa Ma,” and “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.”
