"My kids love the informality that you have here, thatfriends can drop in here and they can also go to their place.The only thing they miss is space, that is parks. In Denverthere were parks at every corner," Madhuri said.
On marrying a non celebrity, the 46-year-old actresssays, "When I met Mr Nene I did not think who he was whether acelebrity or doctor. I liked him as a person. We got alongwell and that was important. There was no set rule that thisis what I am going to do."

The diva will be seen next in Dedh Ishqiya and herhusband has liked the promos and songs of the film."He liked the promos of the film. He loved the song,Aatariya. He is proud of me," she said.
In the sequel, Madhuri is seen opposite NasseruddinShah and her husband quite loved their chemistry."He found the chemistry between us good... he thoughtI did a good job. When you are working with an actor like him(Nasseruddin Shah) you have to create chemistry on screen,"Madhuri said.
"Most of the chemistry comes from writing, the way thescenes are written. If badly written then there will be nochemistry. And to bring that on screen properly is the scaleof an actor," she said.

"If there is a scene in the film that I think my kidsshould not watch, then I won't take them for the film. I wouldlike to do roles that they will be proud of," she added.
