She has a charm no one can overlook and one of the most expressive smiles in the industry. The smart and talented Juhi Chawla has always been a class apart from the other actresses of Bollywood. Juhi has given some of the most memorable films with outstanding performances. But did u know that she was a model before entering films?
This simple and suave girl was born in Ludhiana, Punjab on 13 November, 1967. Fluent in Hindi, English and Punjabi, Juhi became Miss India in 1984. She went to Miami for the Miss Universe paegent. There she won the title for “the best costume”.
Juhi returned to Bombay only to give one of the most memorable films of the 80’s “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak”, opposite, new comer Aamir Khan. This film assured a permanent place for this beauty in the film industry, and for Juhi, there has been just no looking back since then.
A galaxy of film offers poured in and Juhi took complete advantage of it. She gave some memorable performances and her talent and versatility showed in each film. She won the “Best Actress” award in ‘94 for the film “Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke”. Films like Chandni, Love Love Love, Pratibandh and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, were all successful. It was finally Yash Chopra’s “Darr” which shot Juhi to overnite superstardom.
By this time Juhi had storng bonds with actor Shahrukh Khan and director Aziz Mirza. She did lots of films with them including Yess Boss, Dupicate and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. All these were superhits. The actor-actress duo got together to form a production company, Red Chillies Entertainment.
Juhi married her lover, Jai Mehta, a businessman from London. She now has 2 children whom she dotes on. Even marriage has not deterred this thoughtful and sensitive heroine from giving up her career. She balances motherhood and her profession with complete ease.
In recent past, Juhi has concentrated on offbeat films like “Shaheed Udham Singh”, “Teen Deewarein” and “Paheli”. She has perfectly transformed her image from the cute girl next door, to the woman of substance.
It’s been 5 years since Juhi is taking classical singing classes. Sources say that she might do a playback for her upcoming film “Bhootnath”. In the mean time, all her fans hope is that whatever she does, we have more of Juhi to see in every movie.
