 Born
on 13th November 1967, Ludhiana, Punjab,
Juhi Chawla bagged the femina Miss india title(1984),
married to Jay Mehta, a millionaire industrialist in
India and have one daughter. Mansoor Khan directorial
debut Qayamat Se Qayamat Takcharming
went onto create box-office history and a star was born.
Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla were heralded as the hottest
romantic pair at the box-office. Together they went
on to do films like Tum Mere Ho and
Love Love Love. But unfortunately these films
couldn't live up to the audience’s expectations.
After doing eminently forgettable films like CID,
Shaandaar, Sanam Bewaffa,
Goonj, Radha Ka Sangam,
Juhi Chawla hit the hotspot with Dharmesh Darshan's
Lootere. A song on the beach in just
a plain white shirt was enough for her to be labelled
hot.
Her second innings in Bollywood had begun. A series
of hits like Bol Radha Bol, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar
Ke, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman shot her into the
big league instantly. Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke got her
the popular Filmfare trophy for the Best actress. And
her next invitation was to star in Yash Chopra's
Darr. Since most stars regard the summons from
Yash Chopra as a badge of honours, as valid as an award,
Juhi Chawla had finally arrived. The movie's success
pitched her as contender to Madhuri Dixit's No.1 title.
Suddenly she was being spoken in the same league as
Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit.
Movies like Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman
and Darr also saw Shah Rukh Khan and
Juhi Chawla emerge as a new romantic lead. Together
they did movies like Yes Boss and Duplicate.
She was offered the role of Karishma Kapoor in Dil
To Pagal Hai (1997).
The onscreen pairing spilled off screen too. The duo,
along with Aziz Mirza, formed a production company,
Dreamz Unlimited, to make their kind of films. Though
their first production Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
wasn't a rage at the ticket window, it was a much talked
about films. Today Juhi Chawla is busy planning for
her future productions. In the twilight zone of her
acting career, she's now interested in doing only those
films that offer her that extra special.
