Madhuri Dixit expressing her remorse over the legendary artist’s demise, the Bollywood diva said that he was a ‘jewel we have lost forever’ and she will always miss him.

Talking about her beautiful association with MF Husain, Mrs. Nene said that she shared a great bond with the painter. The late artist used to call her often to share with her almost all good and bad experiences of his life.

Madhuri further revealed that Husain used to miss his country India a lot. He longed to return to his motherland and enjoy celebrating the colorful festivals of the country.

"Age never touched him. We were in touch always. He would travel a lot and would call me from different parts of the world to share smallest and big details about his life and profession. It was so sweet," said the actress.

 

 

She added, "He was a pucca Indian at heart. It’s very sad whatever has happened. He missed being here, especially celebrating the colorful festivals in India."

When asked about the compliments she received from Husain, Madhuri candidly said, "Husain saab was very shy in complimenting me directly. He would cleverly disguise it in the form of praising my expressions and moments from my films. He must have given me more thousand compliments but the most glowing one is where he called me the `complete woman’.”
