Recalling the schedule, Rubina alleged that Madhuri was expecting her first child while filming the sequence and faced difficulties performing a few dance movements. "There's a step in which Madhuri ma'am turns and sits down. That shot kept happening from 9 am to 10 pm because she was four months pregnant. So, she couldn't turn properly and was feeling dizzy," Rubina had said.

She further claimed, "She also had a fever at that time. She struggled a lot."

Reacting to the claim during a conversation with SCREEN, the actress said, “Arin is born in 2003. So, you do the math.”

Madhuri also acknowledged that the filming process was physically exhausting. At the time, she was frequently travelling between India and the United States following her marriage to Dr Shriram Nene.

"I was under the weather because I was travelling a lot. I was going back and forth, shooting here and going back. And all my shoots were night shoots. So, for me, it was very grueling. I was a little under the weather, but nothing like that," she added.

The actor's elder son, Arin Nene, was born on March 17, 2003, and Devdas had already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2002 before arriving in cinemas on July 12 that year.
