Madhura was the daughter of celebrated filmmaker V Shantaram. She married music maestro Pandit Jasraj in 1962 and is survived by two children - music director Shaarang Dev Pandit and TV personality Durga Jasraj.

Having donned several hats in her career—that of a director, producer, writer—Madhura, besides directing plays and movies, wrote several books, including biography on his father ‘V Shantaram: The Man Who Changed Indian Cinema’.

In 2010, Madhura made history by directing Marathi film ‘Aai Tujha Aashirwad’ as she became the oldest debutant director of a feature film, earning her a place in the Limca Book of Records.
