<p>Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit says both her recent films 'Dedh Ishqiya' and 'Gulab Gang' may not have been money-spinners at the box-office but her job is to give her best and not compete with newcomers.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Madhuri, 47, made a come back in Bollywood with Vishal Bharadwaj's home production 'Dedh Ishqiya' alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi and followed it up with Shoumik Sen's 'Gulab Gang' with actress Juhi Chawla.<br /><br />'Dedh Ishqiya', a sequel to 'Ishqiya', released in January this year and got an average response. 'Gulaab Gang' centered on struggle of women in the country.<br /><br />"In these two films, both the characters were completely opposite of each other. Whatever I do, I do it with passion, give my best. Finally it is fate or whatever you call it how it (film) does. I think both the films did fairly well.. I don't think they were big disappointments," Madhuri told PTI in an interview.<br /><br />Madhuri sets the record straight that she is not in the industry to compete with anyone and her only focus is to do good work.<br /><br />"I don't have anything to prove to anyone at this point. I want to do good roles and be happy about it. I am not here to compete with newcomers. I am here to do my job and do it with the best of my ability," Madhuri said.<br /><br />But post these two films, it seems there is nothing happening on acting front for Madhuri.<br /><br />When asked whats happening on movie front, she says, she's busy with dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' which she is judging on small screen.<br /><br />The actress has been around in the film industry since quite some time but she feels things have changed.<br /><br />"Appearance today is important, audience is unforgiving but that doesn't mean acting is not important. Those who have both the qualities do very well," Madhuri said. <br /><br />The newer crop of actors call themselves a huge fan of Madhuri and have express their desire to romance her on screen.<br /><br />To which she says, "I feel flattered. I take such things as a compliment. It is great to know that you are looked upon as idol and people like your work."<br /><br />Ask her if she would be comfortable romancing young actors if offers come up, she says, "I don't know. It depends on what the script is I can't say I am ok or not ok."<br /><br />At a time when lots of actors are getting into production Madhuri isn't thinking about it.<br /><br />"I don't know these thoughts are far from my mind. I am busy with 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' as we are starting it now.. I am excited about it," she added.<br /><br />Madhuri will be seen judging the seventh season of 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' alongwith filmmaker Karan Johar and choreographer-director Remo D'Souza. The show will go on air from June 7 on Colors channel.</p>
