Madhuri claimed that she enjoys playing characters that promote female emancipation. She has a preference for roles with an essence, the actor stated, using examples from her flicks like Raja, Mrityudand, and Anjaam. She thinks that OTT platforms have made it easier for female actresses to work well into their forties.

“I’ve played a mother earlier too. But then I think they didn’t know what to do with women in this age group. Because of OTT and the kind of stories that are being told, there are no commercial constraints to make the film a hit. Of course, commercial films are changing as well. Look at films like Badhaai Ho, where a woman is the protagonist. She was not like a 16-year-old girl running around trees. Stories are maturing, the audience is maturing, and storytelling is maturing. People are consuming better content. There are so many stories about women that are being made. Hence so many good roles for female actors,” said Madhuri Dixit.

Madhuri went on to discuss how female performers from the 1990s are now playing roles that are considerably more sophisticated than those played by male actors. “It is always the case na. Women mature more than men (laughs). You have to go to your higher intelligence and think about it. I cannot blame the heroes also because the kind of commercial films that are made, they need to do song, dance and all. So, they are always looking for something that keeps them young, which is not bad,” she said.
