Madhuri Dixit's husband Sriram Nene says he married her without knowing her past history or about her superstar status: 'The main challenge was....'

Madhuri Dixit was at the peak of her career when she got married to Dr Sriram Nene and moved to the USA. The actress tied the knot in 1999 and stayed away from the movies for a long time. Meanwhile, now in 2011, Dr Nene returned to India permanently and even Madhuri resumed her career here. Many in the industry were shocked when Madhuri decided to marry an outsider and settled in the USA and didn't marry anyone from the industry.
Now in a recent conversation, Dr Nene has opened up on how he felt about marrying a superstar and life that changed with it. He spoke to Ranveer Allahbadia on his Youtube channel and said, "Well, that was the case in America also. Also, I don’t know her like that. She is my wife and partner."
He added, "The main challenge was anonymity. To be able to behave like normal people, and the lucky thing is we both enjoy that, less so in India to a great degree, but we are very grateful for everything and the people. She is so down-to-earth and the way she treats her fans and other people. Same with me. We just try to be good people.”
Dr Nene further added that he did not know about her past history when he married her and didn't see her like a star. He expressed, “We look after each other. I never knew her past history and she didn’t know mine. We came from different worlds, but at the same time, we came from the same region, Maharashtra, with the same background. Neither of us thought it would happen. It was kismat, and it has been the most amazing thing in my life.”
He also opened up on moving to India now. When Ranveer asked him if he's happier now, Dr Nene said, "I can’t say happier. It is different. There you got anonymity and independence and a lot of it was self-driven. In India, I have a culture and we have a lot of ties, so it is different.”
