Today is Juhi Chawla’s 56th birthday. After entering the film industry at the age of 18, he worked in about 80 films and also gave many hits. Juhi, who has also won the title of Miss India, has also received the Filmfare Award twice.
Today on Jahi’s birthday, let us know interesting facts of her life…
Juhi Chawla got recognition from the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
After trying her luck in modeling, Juhi turned to films. However, she always regretted that if she had given more time to modeling, she would have reached the rank of Miss World. Juhi started her acting career with the 1986 film ‘Sultanat’. This film flopped badly at the box office, after which Juhi entered the Kannada film industry. After trying his luck here, he again turned to Bollywood. Here he got his biggest film break from the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.
When Juhi rejected the film because of anger with Aamir
Juhi Chawla and Aamir Khan have worked together in many films and were also good friends. But later Aamir did such a prank with Juhi that later Juhi distanced herself from him. Actually, the whole story is like this that during the film ‘Tum Mere Ho’, Aamir put a snake in Juhi’s hand and started trying to get close to her. Seeing this, Juhi got scared and started running on the set. Aamir was joking but Juhi felt that Aamir was about to do something wrong.
The limit was reached when Aamir made a similar joke with Juhi on the sets of the film ‘Ishq’, but this time the joke proved costly. Juhi Chawla stopped talking to Aamir. He also stopped coming to the shoot and thus Juhi did not talk to Aamir for 5 years.
The punishment for this mistake of Aamir also fell heavily on Juhi Chawla. Actually, Juhi Chawla was offered the film ‘Raja Hindustani’ in which Aamir Khan was in the lead role, but Juhi Chawla was angry and on hearing Aamir’s name, she rejected the film. Aamir was also shocked by this action of Juhi Chawla, but what could he do.
Left the support of parents at the peak of career
On one hand, Juhi was standing at a high position in her career, while on the other hand, her personal life was full of ups and downs. In 1998, when Juhi was busy shooting for the film Duplicate, her mother died in an accident. After this his father also died after a long illness. In 2010, his brother Bobby went into coma after suffering a stroke and died on March 9 in 2014.
Juhi could have lost her life while shooting the scene.
Shared the screen with Juhi Chawla with Sunny Deol in the film Arjun Pandit. This film was earlier offered to Ajay Devgan but he refused. Then Sunny was cast in it.
Juhi’s life was saved while shooting the climax scene of the film. Actually, this scene was being shot in the railway yard, where Juhi and Sunny are hiding under the trench. The shooting of the scene continues, then suddenly it stops. Juhi herself had told about this incident – I had no idea that the train was going over that trench. If I had made a slight mistake at that time, my neck would have been cut and my life would have been lost. But I was saved by luck.
Shahrukh-Juhi’s friendship is one of the most special friendships of Bollywood.
In an interview, Juhi had told that when her brother went into coma, she became completely alone. After his parents left, it was his brothers who took care of him. During this difficult time, it was Shahrukh Khan who supported Juhi a lot. Juhi often says that if I need anything and I call Shahrukh, I know he will reach me in the blink of an eye.
Not only in films, Shahrukh-Juhi are each other’s partners in real life also. Both are co-partners of IPL Kolkata Knight Riders. The friendship between the two is so deep that Juhi had signed Aryan’s bail bond in the drug case of Shahrukh’s son Aryan Khan.
The competition between Juhi and Madhuri is such that they were seen together only in films in their entire career.
Juhi and Madhuri Dixit, both were counted among the best actresses of the 90s. There used to be tremendous competition between the two and disputes between them were often in the limelight. Before Karisma, Juhi was approached to work with Madhuri in the film Dil Hai To Pagal but she refused.
In 2014, when Juhi and Madhuri were approached for the film Gulab Gang, both of them liked the story of the film so much that they agreed to work together. However, the film director had told in an interview that both of them did not talk to each other on the sets, hence many problems had to be faced during the shooting. This was the only film in both their careers in which they worked together. Juhi’s acting in the film was appreciated more than Madhuri’s by the critics.
Juhi and Jai Mehta’s love story
Juhi’s husband’s name is Jai Mehta who is 7 years older than her. When Juhi met Jai for the first time, his wife Sujata Birla had died. Sujata died in a plane crash. It was 1992, during which Juhi was shooting for the film ‘Karobaar’. There was a very good friendship between the film’s director Rakesh Roshan and businessman Jai Mehta. Rakesh had arranged for Juhi and Jai to meet during the shooting itself.
Juhi-Jay met several times during the shooting. However, at that time both of them did not show much interest towards each other. When Juhi came to know that Jai’s wife had died in a plane accident, her behavior towards Jai changed. Friendship between the two grew and then they came closer to each other.
When both of them thought about marriage, soon after that Juhi’s mother died in a car accident. Juhi was devastated by this accident. At that time she was not able to take any decision regarding marriage. Jai helped Juhi a lot in overcoming this grief. Ultimately Juhi-Jay got married in 1995. Both have two children, daughter Jhanvi and son Arjun.
