Karan: Welcome to 'Koffee with Karan', Madhuri… Have you seen the show?
Madhuri: Yes I have seen a few episodes
Karan: You are back Madhuri… after so many years… how many years has it been?
Madhuri: Hmmm… 6 years…
Karan: And yours is possibly the most talked about comeback… how does it feel?
Madhuri: It feels great it feels good to be back… it feels great to, you know meet everybody I have worked with… friends and family… it's great being back…
Karan: So, were you at all nervous to face the camera on day one?
Madhuri: Well, day one I was a little hassled….
Karan: After all those years…
Madhuri: Ya, after all those years ahhhh, I don't know why you feel you have lost touch, you know you are going to be on the set, getting ready, the whole process you know and I was wondering will I be able to do it but, once I was there and I started working the first day went by, and on the second day I was fine…
Karan: Completely detached in the 6 years that you have been there in these six years were you in touch with Indian cinema at all?
Madhuri: It was hard because I was having kids there was Aryan and then 2 years later I had Ryan. I was really busy so couldn't really catch up with anything
Karan: What about Ram, has he been totally supportive of your decision to come down
Madhuri: Absolutely. I mean this decision was taken, like we both kind of sat down and made a conscious decision whether I should be doing this or not and he has always supported me if you don't want to work you want to sit at home and look after the kids I am happy with that but, if you feel you want to do something then I am with you all the way, whatever the decision will be.
Karan : So, 'Aaja Nachle' is the film that you are working on, and is slated for release in November, where you are working with Kunal Kapoor, Konkona, Akshaye Khanna and a whole lot of youngsters how was the experience it was lots of fun?
Madhuri: It was lots of fun, it was great, also, because it is fun working with all these actors there were times you know, when I literally didn't have to act, I just had to react to whatever they are doing they are such good actors.
Karan: Do you feel the acting style is more natural, like you have Konkona, who is a very natural actress?
Madhuri: Yes, Konkona is a very natural actress and so is Kunal and I think the dialogues are very natural, the situations, they are not like larger than life.
Karan: More real
Madhuri : Ya, more real
Karan: How does it feel ... you know you are back after such a long time... do you feel things have changed in the industry ... the work ethic... things like that?
Madhuri: Yes... simple things
Karan: Like what
Madhuri: Like... you know you have a whole bound script and that's not a very simple ...
Karan: And that didn't happen during your time?
Madhuri: Oh No, it didn't ... sometimes we used to go on the sets, we didn't even know what we were going to say in the scene... we used to get the dialogues right then...
Karan: Last minute
Madhuri: Ya... last minute... learn them and just say them and the whole economics was different at that time of film making... and I think because of the corporate kind of culture that has come in now, its great, because everything is so organized now
Karan: Everything is streamlined...
Madhuri: Everything is disciplined ... you know it is worked out before hand... what the scene is going to be and what you are going to wear... what you're look is going to be ... everything is set for you ... it is so easy for the actors
Karan: What else has happened is, this whole emergence of the paparazzi and the media... do you think...
Madhuri: That has shocked me
Karan: Like what
Madhuri: I was invited for this opening and I saw this barrage of cameramen and the press was like falling all over each other... and I was like what is happening ...
Karan: And that wasn't the case earlier
Madhuri: No, it wasn't... I mean there were a few photographers... same familiar faces who used to be there everywhere to cover... but now it's like you know new people, new faces and I went to this Siddhivinayak temple ...
Karan: Oh ya... they have the tendency to follow people at that particular temple
Madhuri: Ya, you know... I came out and it was like... oh my God, and I thought my kids are going to be scared and I was holding on to them... but you should have seen my little one...
Karan: What did he do?
Madhuri: He was fluttering his eyes and smiling and my other kid was also enjoying all that attention...
Karan: But darling, he is an actresses' son, he has got it in his genes
Madhuri: That's what my husband says... "bachche kiske hai"
Karan: Actresses like Rani and all are huge fans of yours...
Madhuri: Ya, she has told me that
Karan: Have you seen her work?
Madhuri: Yes, I have, and I think she is a very good actress... I have always liked her... and I envy her in a way ... because my dad is a big fan of hers ...
Karan: Really?
Madhuri: Ya, really
Karan: You must see her in Black... she is fantastic
Madhuri: Ya, I should
Karan: What about your male co-stars, have you met them all, after you are back?
Madhuri: No, not all of them, because everybody is busy... but, I have met Shah Rukh and I think he is only co-star I have met
