Amrita Rao says MF Husain was initially hesitant to meet her after watching Vivaah. Here's why
Hindustan TimesActor Amrita Rao has recalled that the late painter MF Husain had invited her and her mother to Dubai to paint her live. Speaking to a leading daily on his birth anniversary, Amrita said, “Husain sahab had invited me and my mom to Dubai to be his guest while he wanted to paint me live. She also said, "I recall the first time I met Husain sahab, he had come to receive us at the Dubai airport, I noticed him walking barefoot holding onto a long black paintbrush which he used as his signature walking stick. On the last day when he gave me that brush as a parting gift along with a compliment I was so moved that I had tears in my eyes.” A few years ago, in an interview with Zoom, Amrita was reminded that MF Husain once said that after Madhuri Dixit, hers was the only face that excited him.
