In her debut web series The Fame Game, Madhuri Dixit-Nene plays a superstar whose beauty and success have captivated the Indian audience. In other words, she is playing herself on screen, you’d think. But Dixit says the similarities between her character Anamika Anand and her end right there. “Anamika’s equation with her family — be it with her husband or mother — is different from mine. She is a fictitious character. You read so many stories [about showbiz]. I think the writer [Sri Rao] has taken these [instances], and woven them in Anamika’s life. It’s an exaggerated depiction; not all film people are like that,” she says.
