Sriram Nene opens up about getting overlooked as Madhuri Dixit’s husband: ‘My wife’s the famous one, I’m just here for the ride’ | – The Times of India

Dr Sriram Nene, Madhuri Dixit’s husband, admitted he sometimes feels sidelined due to her fame. Though he finds selfie requests surprising, he hopes to use his recognition for good. Now a health influencer, Nene returned to India to support Madhuri’s career and believes in making a positive impact through individual efforts.
Finding Himself in the Spotlight
During a panel discussion with Dr Deepak Chopra, Sriram reflected on his journey, describing himself as someone who unexpectedly found a place in the spotlight due to his wife’s fame. While acknowledging feelings of imposter syndrome, he highlighted the importance of individual power and the ability of one person to create meaningful change.
Adjusting to a New Public Life
Reflecting on how life changed after marrying Madhuri and relocating to India, Nene shared that he now finds himself navigating fame in unexpected ways. Once a doctor to celebrities who valued privacy, he now experiences the opposite—frequently approached for selfies, even when he simply wishes to connect through meaningful conversations.

Speaking Candidly About Fame and Identity
In a candid chat with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Sriram opened up about the challenges that come with fame. He admitted feeling overlooked at times, as people often see him only in relation to his wife, Madhuri Dixit. Despite this, he stressed the importance of mutual respect and equality in all spaces.

Madhuri’s Journey from Stardom to Family Life
Madhuri stepped away from her successful acting career at its peak to marry Sriram and relocate to the United States. During her time there, she focused on family life and raising their two sons, Arin and Ryan, before returning to India in the mid-2000s.
