One of Madhuri Dixit's biggest fans, Husain has dedicated an entire chapter for the actress.

"He sees a lot of women in her, one of them being his mother," explains Khalid. "In fact, the chapter dedicated to her is called Ma-adhuri."

The book also has an element of Tabu, who stars in Husain's next film [after the Madhuri Dixit starrer Gajagamini], called Meenaxi. Apparently, Husain had met a woman called Maria when he had gone to the Czech Republic for a shoot. He connects Tabu with Maria.

"He is very fond of Tabu," Khalid speaks of the actress, who attended the function in a green salwar-kameez.
