Mumbai, June 21 (IANS) Recalling her struggling days in showbiz, Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit-Nene said that earlier she used to feel that she doesn't fit in the perfect size of heroines. But the actress now believes that she has accomplished the goals she had set for herself.
The actress got nostalgic during an episode of the popular dance reality show "So You Think You Can Dance 'Ab India ki Baari'", which she is co-judging with choreographers Bosco Martis and Terence Lewis.
Co-hosted by Rithvik Dhanjani and Mouni Roy, So You Think You Can Dance 'Ab India ki Baari' is an Indian adaptation of the popular international format So You Think You Can Dance.
When Mouni quizzed Madhuri about one of her statements where she said that she does not consider herself to be pretty, Madhuri said: Those were my early struggling days and I used to feel I dont actually fit into the perfect size of heroines back then in Bollywood.
And I used to think that way majorly because of the continuous criticisms I used to face from outsiders. But that didnt deter my path to success and I worked hard and I think I have accomplished what I had set out for.
Madhuri, who made her acting debut in 1984 with Abodh has remained a prominent part of the entertainment industry for over three decades now.

Aarti Singh's hidden cricket talent
Actress Aarti Singh, currently seen as Amba in TV show Waaris, likes to play cricket and loves bowling.

Through her bowling skills, she took actor Akshay Dogra's wicket.
From playing Amba on screen who is a serious character, it was indeed a relief to play cricket for a change. And I took Akshays wicket too, so it was a lot of fun. I dont think Akshay enjoyed this as much, Aarti said in a statement.

My relation with yoga is on different level: Nikita Dutta
On the occasion of the International Yoga Day on Tuesday, actress Nikita Dutta shared that she has been practicing it since the last few years. She says her relation with yoga is on a different level.
Fitness is not about being better than someone else but it is about being better than what you used to be, Nikita, who is currently seen as Suman in TV show Ek Duje Ke Vaaste, said in a statement.
My relation with yoga is on a whole different level. The best thing about yoga is that it is not just about weight loss but being fit from within.
It's about better concentration, a calmer mind and knowing your body. I have seen myself evolve in these four years of practicing it. And there is still an infinite scope, she added.
