Madhuri note read, “Happy Birthday, Aai! They say a mother is a daughter’s bestfriend. They couldn’t be any more right. From everything that you’ve done for me, the lessons that you’ve taught have been the biggest gift for me from you. I wish you only good health & happiness! #Birthday #HappyBirthday #90thBirthday #MotherDaughter.”

Last year, when she was promoting her OTT debut project The Fame Game, Madhuri Dixit had revealed that her mother never treated her differently even after she became a star. Speaking with ETimes, Madhuri had said, “I mean, even when I was working in films, my mom used to scold me if my room was messed up and things like that. So, that’s how I was brought up. And that’s how I am. When I go home, everything is back in the studio. I see my kids and I see my husband and it’s just a different life.”
