"Age is just a number for me. It doesn't scare me. It doesn't stop me from doing anything. I feel talent is timeless and I believe in it," Madhuri, who turned 48 today, said here in an interview.

The dancing diva is having a quiet birthday celebration with her family today.

The year gone by was special to her, considering her online dance academy is going good.

"The year has gone really well. I am thankful to my family, friends and my fans for their love and support," Madhuri said.

"I got my birthday gift day before yesterday (May 13) as we launched 'Dance with Madhuri' Version 2 and a mobile app for the same. It's my wish to take dance at every doorstep.

Through this (e-learning platform that allows people to learn dance), we are trying to give the best to everyone," she said.

For Madhuri, the most memorable birthday gifts are the ones that she gets from her two sons.

"The birthday cards that they make for me are special.

Besides that, I remember when they were like four-six years old, they went out with their dad and brought a beautiful bracelet for me," the actress said.

Born on May 15, 1967, Madhuri entered the film industry in 1984 and achieved mass popularity with her acting, dancing skills and eternal beauty.

Some of the most memorable films of the actress include "Tezaab", "Ram Lakhan", "Parinda", "Dil", "Saajan", "Beta", "Khalnayak", "Hum Aapke Hain Koun", "Dil To Pagal Hai", "Mrityudand", "Pukar" and "Devdas" among others.

She was honoured with Padma Shri in 2008, for her contribution to Indian cinema.

New Delhi, Apr 14: Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar on Tuesday paid tributes to Dr BR Ambedkar on his birth anniversary.

The 90-year-old singer took to Twitter to extend her greetings on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti and also expressed gratitude for being able to get the chance to meet him.

"Namaskar. Bhartiya Savidhan ke janak mahamanav Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar Ji ki Jayanti par main unko koti koti vandan karti hu. (Namaskar. On the birth anniversary of Dr. BR Ambedkar, the father of the great Indian Constitution, I offer him a ceremonial offering)" she tweeted.

"Main unko pratyaksh roop se mil saki ye mera sobhagya hai. (It is my good fortune that I got the chance to meet him)," her tweet further read.
Ambedkar, commonly known as Babasaheb, dedicated his life to working for the upliftment of Dalits, women and the underprivileged.

Born into a poor Dalit family on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar became independent India's first law minister, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution and a founding father of the Republic of India.

He also campaigned against the social discrimination faced by Dalits and inspired the Dalit Buddhist Movement in 1956. Ambedkar was awarded the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 1990.

Mumbai, Jul 28: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he was left in tears as his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan were discharged from hospital after testing negative for coronavirus.

Aishwarya and her eight-year-old daughter, who were shifted to the isolation ward of Nanavati Hospital on July 17, were discharged on Monday.

Amitabh, 77, and his actor-son Abhishek are still in hospital after they were admitted on July 11.

In a post on official blog, the Bollywood veteran said that he became emotional when Aaradhya told him that he would be "back home soon".

"They go home, the little one and Bahurani... and the tears flow out... the little one embraces and tells me not to cry... 'You’ll be home soon', she assures... I must believe her," he said.

On Monday, Abhishek had said that he and his father were still under the care of medical staff at the Nanavati Hospital's isolation ward.

"My father and I remain in hospital under the care of the medical staff. Thank you all for your continued prayers and good wishes. Indebted forever," the 44-year-old actor tweeted.

Both Amitabh and Abhishek have been sharing their health updates with fans on various social media platforms.

Last week, Amitabh had dismissed reports that he had finally tested negative for coronavirus, calling the piece of news "an incorrigible lie".

Mumbai's Covid-19 tally rose to 1,10,129 on Monday with addition of 1,033 new cases.
