Madhuri Dixit Nene is looking forward to a time when actresses, post marriage or pregnancy, are not asked about when they would make a ‘comeback’ to films. "When a hero is away from a screen for a long time, no one asks him when he would be making a comeback, but actresses have to face this question, 'When are you coming back in films?' every single time,” Madhuri said during a media interaction.

"If actresses are not doing films for some time, it's their personal choice. Don't constantly ask them about their return to showbiz or films. Like other people, our priorities also differ from time to time," Madhuri said.

She said, "I have been asked about my comeback so many times... I didn't work for years and there was one mandatory comeback question always asked to me. I don't know what to say about it, but now I hope this thing will change in future and there will be no more 'comeback' questions being imposed to working women."

The 51-year-old took a break of five years after Devdas. In 2007, she came back on-screen with Aaja Nachle and then was away from films for seven years before featuring in Gulaab Gang in 2014. Madhuri starred in the recently released Total Dhamaal. Not only films, she has featured in several reality TV shows as a judge.
