Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit is till date one of the most-sought after actresses in the Hindi entertainment industry.

While she has seen a lot of ups and downs in her career, there was once a time where she was asked to remove her blouse and shoot in a bra in Tinnu Anand directorial Shanakht (1989), which despite a few portions being shot was never released.

According to a report by Zoom TV, the actress was all set to star in a movie alongside Amitabh Bachchan, when she was making a name for herself with movies like Tezaab and Ram Lakhan. Director Tinnu Anand had gone on to share an incident that occurred during the first day of the shoot.
