Madhuri Dixit was fired when she refused to do THIS bold scene on camera in a film co-starring Amitabh Bachchan

Madhuri Dixit who was one of the reigning actresses of the 90s is still fondly called the 'Dhak Dhak' girl as she won a million hearts with her dance, songs and acting. She also broke a million hearts when she got married to Dr Sriram Nene and left movies for many years. The actress is now back in India where she stays with her husband and also started working again. She's done a lot of movies and some even had her in some bold scenes but the actress was once fired from a film when she refused to do this scene.This film was directed by Tinnu Anand and starred Amitabh Bachchan opposite Madhuri. It was titled Shanakht. In an interview with Radio Nasha, Tinu had revealed, "I had narrated the entire sequence to Madhuri and I told her that you have to remove your blouse and for the first time, we should see you in your bra. And I am not going to hide anything behind a haystack or anything. Because you are offering yourself to help a man who is trying to help you. So, it is a very important situation and I want to shoot it on the first day. She said okay.”However, just before the shot, Madhuri felt uncomfortable and refused to do the scene. She didn't get out of the dressing room for 45minutes. She later refused him the last minute which irked him. The director was of the opinion that if she wanted to refuse to do the scene, she would have said no before signing the film. "She didn’t get out of the dressing room for 45 minutes, and when Tinnu went to check on her, she told him she didn’t want to do the scene. Irked with Madhuri for backing out at the last moment, Tinnu forced her, but she was adamant. As a result, a miffed Tinnu fired her from the film and asked her to leave the set.

Amitabh Bachchan who then arrived on the set, also tried to convince her but she was uncomfortable. The director started looking for Madhuri's replacement for the film. Much later though, Madhuri agreed to do the film. But the film was eventually shelved due to issues with the producer.
