She Almost Became Royal: Madhuri Dixit’s Forgotten Love Story with a Cricketer.
On Her 58th Birthday, An Old Romance Still Whispers Behind the Fame
It’s hard to believe Madhuri Dixit just turned 58. For so many, she’s still that bright smile from Hum Aapke Hain Koun, the graceful storm from Devdas, the heartbeat of the ‘90s. Today, as fans light up the internet with love, another story quietly flickers to life ,one that doesn’t get talked about much anymore.
There was a time way before Dr. Shriram Nene when Madhuri was deeply connected to someone else. Not an actor, not a director,but a cricketer. Ajay Jadeja. Yes, that Ajay Jadeja. The dashing man who ruled the cricket field and for a while her heart.
A Chance Meeting That Sparked a Bond
They met during a photoshoot in the early ’90s. He was rising fast in Indian cricket and she was already a superstar. Something just clicked. It wasn’t a headline romance at first. It was quiet, sincere, and hopeful. Madhuri even tried to help him break into films ,she believed in him like that.
People around them thought it was going somewhere real. Maybe even marriage. And why not? Ajay belonged to the royal family of Nawanagar in Gujarat. Had it worked out, Madhuri wouldn’t just have been a film queen,she’d have been an actual royal bahu.

But Life Had Other Plans
Then came the scandal. The match fixing storm hit Ajay’s world like a hurricane. His cricket career cracked. His name once chanted in stadiums got dragged through courtrooms and headlines. The pressure, the whispers, the chaos,it was too much. The bond they shared didn’t survive.
She Chose Peace Over Noise
In 1999, Madhuri chose a quieter life. She married Dr. Nene and moved to the U.S. They had two sons. The love she found was steady far from flashing cameras and crumbling careers.
Yet even now, fans remember. Not just her roles or her dance. But the “what if” that lingers in the air.
What if things had gone right? Would she be in a palace today, not just our hearts?
Some stories don’t end. They just fade softly, tucked away behind birthday candles and memories.
