In a conversation with ETimes, Madhuri had once revealed the reaction of her kids watching her old movies. “We don’t watch my movies at home, I feel it is silly. But if the kids are some place else, like my son recently watched my song in ‘Pukaar’ and he said, ‘You dance very well’, that felt very cool. The dance moves in Kay Sera Sera were very different, it was very cool. Arin and Ryan don’t sit at home and watch my movies at all! For them, I am their mother first and then everything else. They don’t carry that baggage. But they did watch ‘The Fame Game’ and they really liked it,” the ‘dhak-dhak’ girl had revealed.
