Spotted: Madhuri with her family

'Both my husband and I felt there's so much we can do back home. Whether it's in our profession or on a humanitarian level, we feel there's a lot that we can contribute to our own lives and to society,' Madhuri said.

Madhuri Dixit says her decision to return to India was taken a while ago and was based on a belief that they could do more, on a professional level, back home.

She said this was the right age for them to return to India, as being so young, the children could adapt. 'If they got older, it would be harder for them. They're excited about going to India. Of course they're sad to leave behind their friends here. But they know they will make new friends there. Nowadays the schools in the US are not very different from the ones in Mumbai. And kids adapt very quickly. In no time my sons will make friends and ...
