The 90s super-hit heroine Madhoo, who has given films like “Phool Aur Kaante” and “Roja” (Tamil), is back with her new venture, “Sweet Kaaram Coffee”, a Tamil web series. Before working in Hindi movies, Madhoo was working in the South Indian film industry and gave films like “Annayya” (Kannada) and “Yodha” (Malayalam).
In a conversation with the Indian Express, the actress opened up about why she left the industry when she was at the peak of her career.
“I was a part of many action hero films in which Heroes were the leads. You know, in the nineties, I have no complaints. I danced in a lot of movies, and I love dancing. But after doing something like “Roja” and going back to that same monotonous role, I was totally unhappy. When my shooting dates used to come, I was really unhappy. That’s when I decided to quit. Then I wrote a letter to everyone saying I am quitting. The intention was that you all don’t deserve me. It was childhood arrogance, though. Later, I realized I am an artist, and I have to do this. That’s why I came back,” she said.

Madhoo also said that she does not have a problem with aging, but not getting appropriate roles is what concerns her the most. “It is difficult to get a role because I don’t want to play Ajay Devgn’s mother, which is very probable. We were launched together… we are the same age. But things are changing because Tabu and Devgn did a film in which both were of the same age. That’s why I am extremely grateful for the change the industry has gone through,” she concluded.
The actress made her Bollywood debut opposite Ajay Devgn in “Phool Aur Kaante” in 1991. And now she has two Malayalam films in her kitty.
