Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit has been ringing into the success of her debut Netflix series, 'The Fame Game'. Released on February 25, 2022, it is among the top 10 web series on Netflix which makes it clear that her aura and acting is still liked by a large population. In a recent interview with Variety, Madhuri Dixit Nene opened up about 'The Fame Game', stating that the makers took a little part of the show's story from her life.

'People should know...'- Madhuri Dixit

Dixit quipped, "People have imagined her to be the ideal, perfect person with the perfect life – why should she disappear? And then how all the secrets come out, I thought that was very fascinating." She further added that a lot of things she is going through are so real in life. She described 'The Fame Game' as a 'metaverse', stating that they took a little bit from her life. She said, "People should know- 'Oh, she’s a big star like Madhuri Dixit’ – she’s that stature and at that height of her career". 

Talking about her character, Madhuri said that the only similarity between Anamika Anand and her is that they both are stars, both are daughters, 'we are a wife, we are a mother, we are those roles that we play in our lives. But I think apart from that, I think our lives are very, very different'.

When asked if the series will be renewed for the second season, Madhuri said that it is up to Netflix. She mentioned, "Right now, everybody’s exhausted because it just released and we are just taking in all the reactions and basking in that. Once this is done, I think they will start working and thinking about the next season".
