MUMBAI: Amruta Khanvilkar is currently seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi 10. The actress is a big name in Marathi cinema and has featured in Hindi filma like Raazi and Malang.

Well, do you know who her inspiration was to do enter the movies? It was none other than Madhuri Dixit!

She told a media portal, 'It was dancing to Madhuri Dixit songs and watching unlimited films while growing up which led me take up acting as a profession. It was fairly early in life when I realized that I have been made for showbiz. Probably, I was in fourth standard when I used to dance on all Madhuri Dixit songs and discovered that I can dance really well. Since then, I used to lock myself up in my room and practice the speeches for Miss World and Miss India. I think I am a drama queen in real life as well.'

About the character closest to her heart, she said, 'It was the role of Zarina which I did in one of my Marathi films called Katyar Kaljat Ghusali. That role made me realize that I also have a command over Urdu. I think that is one of my favorite roles and then, of course, there is Munira from Raazi. Then, my role in this Marathi film called Baji. I needed to do a certain action sequence in which I was hanged with a 40 feet clip for half an hour, so that was extremely thrilling. These roles have given me the greatest joy.'
