Grand Marshal Madhuri Dixit at the India Day Parade 2002 in New York	She received $640,000 for HAHK, making her the highest paid Bollywood actress!

Famous for her acting and her million dollar smile, no actress has given more hits in last 15 years than Madhuri.	Some of her most memorable roles are in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, Beta, Dil, & Khalnayak.

After her 'Choli ke peeche' song in Khalnayak, which caused a stir, women liberation groups in India asked for a ban on Madhuri Dixit!	The color of saffron/kesaria stand for patriotism (balidaan), white is for simplicity and peace, green is for agriculture (kheti) farming (kisan) and greenery (hariyali), the navy blue wheel in the center is the "Ashoka chakra", the wheel of progress.

The tricolor had been used, unofficially, since the early 1920s as the flag of the Indian National Congress, with the colors representing Hinduism (orange), Islam (green), and a hoped-for unity and peace (white).	Protesters: They wanted Peace, Kashmir and Equality of the sexes, though not in that order!
