Popular 90s actress Madhuri Dixit decided to stay away from the limelight post-marriage in the US to Dr Sriram Nene. But in the past couple of years, she not only made a comeback to Mumbai but has also managed to rebrand herself in the entertainment industry.

Now there is a speculation going on that the actress is all set to join politics ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Several media reports suggested that the ‘Devdas’ actor will contest from North West Mumbai, and has reportedly been in touch with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders for a while now. 

Not just that, she was also clicked with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and NCP leader Praful Patel. However, FPJ confirmed a source close to the development as saying that Madhuri has no plans to contest for Lok Sabha elections. Her family also confirmed that if and when the actress decides to enter politics, she'd be probably representing in the Rajya Sabha.
