When Juhi Chawla refused to work with Madhuri Dixit – Life & Style

Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit were the biggest film stars of the 1990s. They started their careers at the same time, and experienced success together, and as is often the case in the entertainment world, they were often pitted once morest each other. Even Juhi once refused to work with Madhuri in a Yash Chopra hit due to “ego issues”.

In an interview given to Indian media, Juhi said that, we started our career at the same time. Madhuri had the film “Tizaab” and I did the film “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” in the same year. During our career, we were always comparing each other. It was always like one of us was number one, and the other was number two. This series continued for a long time. In the early 1990s, both the actresses were at the peak of their careers and gave many hits.

What is the story behind Shah Rukh Khan’s famous dialogue ‘Kkkkkkaran’? Juhi Chawla revealed the secret

Juhi Chawla said that Yash Chopra had offered him Dil Tu Pagal Hai, but the role he was offered was that of a ‘supporting actor’, which upset him a bit and so he turned it down. .

He said that when I worked with Yashji in Dar, he wanted to make Dil Tu Pagal Hai and he wanted to work with Madhuri Dixit. He asked me to play a side role. And I asked, ‘Should I play this role?’ I had some insecurities and some ego issues so I didn’t do it. This was the only opportunity (for us to work together).

The role that was offered to Juhi was eventually played by Karisma Kapoor, who also received a National Award for her performance in the film. Shah Rukh Khan also acted in Dil Tu Pagal Hai.

Juhi and Madhuri worked together in 2014’s Gulab Gang. At that time, Madhuri had told PTI that she had never seen Juhi as her rival. “I never considered him as my rival. I never hesitated to work with anyone. It is my thinking that we are actors and not horses racing towards a finish line.

It’s a creative field and we love certain roles and working with people we love. Not that I haven’t worked in two-heroine projects before. I worked with Preity Zinta (Yeh Raste Hai Pyaar Ke), Aishwarya Rai (Devdas) and Karisma Kapoor (Dil Tu Pagal Hai).
