Madhuri Dixit's In-Laws 'Weren't Happy' When Dr Nene Moved To India For Her And Quit Job As 'Head Of Hospital'
In 2011, Madhuri Dixit and her family decided to return to India.
Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr Sriram Nene, moved to India with the actress as she wanted to focus on her career. However, his parents weren’t happy with this decision as he had his thriving medical practice in the USA. Dr Nene opened up about his move to India on his YouTube channel.
He said, “I am Indian. I grew up from an immigrant start, and my parents certainly weren’t happy that I am leaving the prototypical job of a heart surgeon and kind of every Indian’s wet dream, with like perfect sort of situations and lots of friends and the head of the hospital. But I could operate, at the most, on 3-5 patients with open heart surgery and in a year maybe 500 patients."

Dr Nene also opened up about his early career and said, “I had been a tech entrepreneur before with a software company at 14. My folks said that the only way to move forward is become a doctor or engineer." However, after entering the medical field, Dr Nene found the profession to be rewarding and fell in love with his job.
“I was very rewarded, and to see patients leave the hospital healthy and to interact with their families and make a difference in their lives was amazing, but when I looked at the planet, I said there’s 7 billion people. I said what if you could take health care as is traditionally practised and then use a combination of media and technology to take it to the last mile and create digital frontiers where you can put a doctor in everyone’s pocket," he said.
For the unversed, after marrying cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Shriram Nene in 1999, Madhuri moved to Denver, USA, where she embraced family life and stepped away from her Bollywood career. During this period, she made occasional appearances in films and on television. In 2011, the family decided to return to India, with Madhuri announcing on Twitter, “For all my fans, we are relocating to India! It will be good to be back home."
