Madhuri Dixit’s husband Dr Nene rebelled against ‘conservative’ parents by ‘getting ploughed’ on alcohol in college: ‘Frat life shaped who I was’

Kesari 2 director slams ‘toxic’ hate against Ananya Panday, reveals Gehraiyaan led to her casting: ‘It’s tragic’

Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr Sriram Nene, is the son of first-generation Indian immigrants in the United States. He said that his ‘conservative’ parents gave him two career options; he could either become a doctor or an engineer. Dr Nene became a cardiovascular surgeon after years of rigorous training, but there were times when he’d wonder why he was putting in such hard work and energy. His first interest, he said, was always technology. Dr Nene now works as a healthcare professional specialising in tech, and in various interviews posted on his YouTube channel, he has discussed his early days.

He said, “My parents were very conservative. They didn’t have a lot of latitude, mainly because they didn’t have backup systems.” In a conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also shared on his YouTube channel, Dr Nene said, “My parents are conservative teetotalers, and then, when I went to college in the Midwest, people drank like fish and did everything. I was a part of a fraternity, and it shaped who I was to some degree. It changed the way you behaved, it gave you a depth, and it also took away some of the hindrances. As far as alcohol and all that, we all got ploughed once in a while, right?”

In a separate video posted on the INK Talk YouTube channel, Dr Nene recalled starting a software company in his teens, but not getting the support he needed from his parents. He said, “I had a software company when I was 14, and my Maharashtrian parents said, ‘You either become a doctor or an engineer, or we won’t pay for it’. As first generation immigrants, they didn’t know any better. I dutifully did not go to Stanford or Berkeley, even though I would’ve gotten in everywhere, and I went to a med programme in Washington. What I found, time and again, is that I could come in, in the nick of time, with milimetres and miliseconds, and save lives. It was very rewarding, because you would see patients on death’s door, come back.”

He also opened up about his decision to quit his thriving practice and move to India along with Madhuri. He said, “The problem was, when you looked at what I did, the most I could operate on was three to five patients a day, 2000 consults a year, 500 patients a year. When I came to India, there were 7 billion people in the world. But I made a choice in 2011, when I was the managing director of a hospital and a partner in a group, and when I told them that I was leaving to do start-ups in India, they all looked at me like I was crazy. My middle-class Maharashtrian friends were like, ‘What are you doing? You’re every Indian’s dream, and now you’re walking away from uncertainty’. Fortunately, it all worked out.”

Dr Nene’s parents remained skeptical of his decision to move to India. “My parents initially weren’t warm to this and when they saw what I had done with some of the start-ups, they wanted to write cheques,” he recalled. Madhuri quit the film industry at the peak of her career when she married Dr Nene in 1999 and moved to the US. She resumed her career in the mid-2000s, and Dr Nene followed some years later.
