At the age of 19, Madhumati married Deepak Manohar, a well-known dancer and father of four. Despite her mother’s initial reservations, she went forward with the marriage, which marked an important milestone in her personal life. Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood superstar, took to social media to pay tribute to his late dancing teacher, the legendary actress and dancer. The tweet included two previously unseen photos, one of a young Akshay Kumar sitting beside Madhumati, surrounded by their dance-class colleagues, and another of the two beaming cheerfully.
