Madhuri enthralls on Indiatimes chat
<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">MUMBAI: Denver, Colorado, in the United States is dotted with bears and wolves. But there were more bears and certainly more wolves who logged on to Indiatimes Chat on Friday August 2, 7:00 pm IST when Indian actress par excellence, Madhuri Dixit Nene, logged on from the US where she is now settled with her husband Dr Sriram Nene.

So, he could not ask his beautiful wife all those questions he always wanted to ask, but was waiting for an Indiatimes chat to be able to do so!<br /><##img src="/photo/17911564.cms" alt="/photo/17911564.cms" border="0" />Having graced the silver screen and enthralled audiences with her charming smile, her graceful dancing and her versatile performances for fourteen years now, it was no surprise that the online chat with Madhuri equalled some record-breaking previous chats set on Indiatimes Celebrity Chats. <br />Coming close on the heels of the record-breaking successes of the chats held with Shah Rukh Khan (18,000-plus questions) and Aishwarya Rai (22,000-plus questions), Madhuri had a whopping 10,000 plus questions asked by her fans the world over proving that with the Internet, there''s simply no barrier stopping the fans who want to connect with their onscreen idols. <br />Add to that the 3,000 odd questions that mobile users sent using the Indiatimes 8888 service, which made it a total of 13,000 questions in an hour! The numbers would''ve crossed 15-20 thousand had the server not gone under just moments before the chat began, causing the moderator to lose close to 5000 questions.<br />It was the first time ever that Madhuri - who has been receiving high critical acclaim for her portrayal of Chandramukhi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali''s recently released version of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Devdas</span> - chatted online with her fans and audiences. The chat was an extension of the tie-up between Indiatimes and Bharat Shah''s <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Devdas</span> courtesy Filmfare.com. And just another step up from its position as the leading entertainment presence for Indians worldwide.<br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Related link</span> <#img src=/images/ticker.gif> <a href="/articleshow.cms?art_id=17899963">Read the chat transcript</a></div> </div>
