Indra Kumar expressed confidence in Madhuri He further said – At that time there was an interview in which it was said that Madhuri is a bad actress. Every film he is in is a flop.

Madhuri became a hit actress after the success of 'Tezaab' and 'Ram Lakhan' Indra Kumar also said that her flop tag disappeared after giving two blockbuster hits 'Tezaab' and 'Ram Lakhan'.
