Filmmaker Subhash Ghai says actress Madhuri Dixit Nene was his best student ever.

He admitted this at an interaction with students of his film school Whistling Woods International, where Madhuri was a guest.

The actress, who had made her debut in Bollywood with the 1984 filom, "Abodh", has worked in Ghai blockbusters such as "Ram Lakhan" (1989) and "Khalnayak" (1993).

"She is one of the best actors we have in the industry, and today I am so proud of her achievements. Today she runs an online dancing school and I run an international school in filmmaking and allied courses," he said.
