I got a little scared, but my sister said, no, we've got to stand our ground, and you've got to go on. And we performed.”Madhuri recalls that they eventually won over the students with their performance. “And so....the whole hall was full, enthralled by what was happening... I was like 10 or 12 years old. I was very young at that time…” she said, stating that they went on to perform for an hour and a half despite that. The actor has two sisters, Rupa and Bharti.
