Madhuri Dixit is one proud mother, now that her eldest son Arin is going off to university.

The Bollywood actress, who is married to Dr Shriram Nene, recently flew to the US with the whole family to send Arin off to the University of Southern California, the alma mater of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan, who graduated earlier this year.

Sharing photos from the send off, Dr Nene wrote, “Am so excited for Arin starting college. Give great thanks to all the educators before and the ones now, who have been great mentors and teachers. Proud to be the father of a Trojan! Look forward to his lifelong learning.”

It is noted that Madhuri previously expressed her thoughts about Arin going to university in an interview, saying that she just couldn’t believe that it is already time for her child to fly and leave the nest.

“I just can’t believe it that how the years have gone, he is already 18. He will be on his own in a university and I am so concerned as every mother will be as to how he is going to lead an independent life. Because in India when we are growing up, we are so protected – we live with our parents, everything is done for the kid. Be it cooking or washing, everything is taken care of. Now, he will be on his own and it gives me a lot of concern,” she had said.
