Madhuri Dixit surprised many when she decided to quit acting at the peak of her career for marriage. In 1999, she married Dr Shriram Nene and moved to Colorado with him. The couple lived there for several years, leading a life away from glitz and glamour. It was in 2011, when the couple decided to return to India along with their two sons, Arin and Ryan. Recently, the actress, who featured in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, spoke about her decision to leave India post-marriage.

Madhuri said, "I was very happy because for me, the paraphernalia was not very important to me. I loved what I do. I love acting, dancing and everything to do with my profession. Anything else is just bonus like people considering you as a star. So for me, it was never like, 'Oh my god, I am getting married at the peak of my career.' I never thought of it that way." The actress added, "I just thought I have met the right person for me. This is the man I want to marry. For me, it [the dream] was like having a house, a husband, having family, and kids." The Saajan star added, "When people say, 'Oh, you were away, and didn't you miss it?' I be like, 'No, I didn't miss it because I was living my dream."
