Madhoo Reacts As Her Hit Debut Film, 'Phool Aur Kaante' Clocks 32 Years: 'Cornerstones Of My Life'

Madhoo rose to fame with her iconic hit film, Roja in 1982. Dubbed in multiple languages, the film struck a chord in several hearts. In fact, it was even more applauded for Madhoo’s performance, which subsequently gave her the name, ‘Roja girl’. However, Madhoo went on to make her Hindi debut film opposite Ajay Devgn in Phool Aur Kaante, which turned out to be another masterpiece. And now, as the film completed 32 years, Madhoo recalled several anecdotes connected to her debut film.

Madhoo says she never expected the success of Phool Aur Kaante that made her an overnight sensation

Well, there can be surely no doubts about the massive success of the film, including the overnight fame and stardom it brought to the two debutants, Ajay Devgn and Madhoo. She mentioned that while at first she never thought that such a successful film would be destined for her launch, she now feels thankful that she got recognised by her film itself. In her words:

“Firstly, I am feeling very great that I had such a hit debut. I was known from day one as we became stars with the first film. I didn’t even know that such a film would launch me. And such a situation would happen in my life that would make me the ‘Roja girl’ or ‘Madhoo from Phool Aur Kaante’.”

When Madhoo talked about the reason behind stepping down from films at the peak of her career

Despite attaining massive heights in the film industry within a short time period, Madhoo decided to step down from acting at a time when people expected her to perform much more. Earlier, during a session by Prime Video’s Maitri: Female First Collective, Madhoo opened up about stepping down from the industry. She mentioned that after films like Roja and Yoddha, she started to get typecasted within specific roles, something which she didn’t want to do. Moreover, she remembered writing a letter in arrogance to many people in the film industry, as she wanted to imply that they didn’t deserve an actress like her.
