It’s a double celebration for Madhuri Dixit and her husband Dr. Sriram Nene this week, as their elder son Arin graduated from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles—coinciding with Madhuri’s 58th birthday.
Dr. Nene shared joyful moments from the convocation on Instagram, posting a series of heartwarming family photos. “All in a week’s work! Loved every part of the ceremonies and am so proud of Arin and his classmates. And the best part is MD celebrated her birthday with Arin graduating! What an amazing present for both,” he wrote in the caption.
The shared pictures captured the excitement of the day: Arin beaming in his graduation gown, holding his degree, with his proud father by his side. One candid moment featured Madhuri and Dr. Nene seated in the audience, smiling for a selfie. Another showed the entire family posing with Arin and his fellow graduates—radiating happiness and pride.
Fans flooded the comments with congratulatory messages. One wrote, “Beautiful pictures ❤️ Heartiest congratulations to the whole family, and special congratulations to Arin… Such beautiful smiles from my favourite people.” Another fan added, “We love to see it! Congratulations Arin & a very happy birthday to the ICON.”
Just last year, the younger son, Ryan, marked a milestone of his own by graduating from the American School of Bombay, making it a period of back-to-back achievements for the family.
On May 15, as Madhuri turned 58, Dr. Nene also took to Instagram to express his love and admiration for her. Sharing intimate family photos, including a romantic moment of the couple holding hands, he captioned the post with a heartfelt tribute:
“Happy Birthday to the one who’s brightened our lives in every way. You’ve made everything lighter, warmer, and better—just by being you. I’d choose you all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the love, the laughter, and the light you bring. Here’s to us, and to many more beautiful years ahead. I love you, always.”
The images were accompanied by the timeless tune Dil To Pagal Hai, one of Madhuri’s most beloved songs, adding a nostalgic touch to the celebration.
Madhuri and Dr. Nene tied the knot in 1999 and spent over a decade in the United States before returning to India. Their sons, Arin (born in 2003) and Ryan (born in 2005), are now stepping into their own futures with pride—and their parents cheering them on every step of the way.
