With a journey filled with grace, talent, and enduring success, Juhi Chawla emerged as the leading lady in Bollywood in the 90s, beginning as a charming actress to her transition as a respected character artist. The actress’s infectious smile as well as acting prowess won over audiences for decades. She made her acting debut in 1986 with a brief appearance in the Hindi film Sultanat.

She went on to showcase her versatility, taking on a wide range of roles across various genres, and delivering remarkable performances in each.
Today on her 57th birthday, let’s look back at her cinematic contributions and also some of her popular songs that still remain fresh in minds.
Juhi Chawla: Top Movies
1. Mr and Mrs Khiladi: The 1997 film starring Juhi Chawla opposite Akshay Kumar is one of her most loved comedy films. Directed by David Dhawan, the comedy masterpiece tells the story of a lazy man, Raja, who falls for a rich girl, Shalu. However, to get married, Raju must prove himself in front of Shalu’s father, leading to a chaotic and hilarious journey in the story.
2. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani: The pairing of Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan was undeniably popular among fans, and their on-screen chemistry in this film is a perfect example. While set against a patriotic theme, the film features them as TV journalists who compete against each other as rivals, only to end up falling in love. Besides their interesting chemistry, the film’s dramatic storyline and the beautiful background score add much to its perfection.
3. Ishq: Despite featuring alongside a star-studded ensemble of actors like Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Kajol, Juhi Chawla perfectly showcased her performance in the romantic comedy. Her hilarious banter with Aamir Khan’s character is one of the most favourite parts.
4. Yess Boss: Another Juhi Chawla and SRK movie that definitely needs attention is the 1997 romantic comedy Yes Boss. It focuses on Shah Rukh Khan’s character as a passionate employee, Rahul, who helps his boss win over other women. However, things take an interesting turn when his boss tries to woo Seema (Juhi), with whom Rahul falls in love. The popular song, Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon, attained cult status over the years, thanks to Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Alka Yagnik’s melodious contributions.
5. Darr: In another addition to SRK-Juhi Chawla films, Darr definitely needs no introduction. However, contrary to their sweet romantic movies, this one featured SRK as an obsessive lover opposite Kiran (Juhi). Things take an intense turn after Kiran gets engaged to Sunil (Sunny Deol), prompting an aggressive reaction from Rahul, who tries to forcefully claim Kiran for himself.
6. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak: While Juhi Chawla made her debut with the film Sultanat, it was this movie that got her on the charts. Released in 1986, she features opposite Aamir Khan in the love story.
