Madhuri Dixit was last seen on the silver screen in Gulaab Gang
Fitness trainer Leena Mogre says Madhuri Dixit was the first to start the trend of personal training in Bollywood.
"Madhuri was my first client. And that time, the concept of personal training didn't exist in Bollywood. And she was the first to have a personal trainer," Leera said.
The fitness trainer used to conduct Madhuri's training sessions at the actress' house where she practiced aerobics to keep herself fit.
"I used to take her training sessions at her house and due to her passion for dance, we used to do aerobics. She used to carry her music player or walkman to the film sets so that she could practice and keep herself fit," she added.
The actress, often known as Bollywood's 'dancing diva', even "loved" Leera's book
Total Fitness: The Leena Mogra Way and wrote the foreword to it, expressing her views about fitness.
"In her foreword, she writes that fitness is responsible for what she is today. And she has also launched her own website Dance With Madhuri, integrating dance and fitness beautifully just like our training sessions," Leera said.
