Lashing out at Madhuri, in an interview with CineBlitz magazine in 1992, Ena had said, “Madhuri is so inhuman… I mean Madhuri can get any man she wants. How can she go for a man who’s behaved in such a way with his wife? I know they are good friends because he’s called her from our house. And he does talk to her brother and her sister here. But we never looked at it as if “okay the guy’s involved with Madhuri”. We’re very open, we’ve always given Sanjay his space.”
