Juhi Chawla, former Femina Miss India, the cutie-pie of the Bollywood has had
her share in the field that she's been in for 15 years hitting the limelight
every often with her smart performance in all the films she acted. She had a lot
of hit films which are mostly musically melodious and films that did pretty well
at the box office. "Darr" consolidated the actress's star value.
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.
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).
Juhi acted opposite all the top heroes in Bollywood and she enjoys a very good
rapport with all the industry people. She runs a production company "Dreamz
Unlimited" in a partnership with the top class actor Sharukh Khan and director
Aziz Mirza. The story of a sparky showdown between the actress and her first
ever filmi friend, Aamir Khan, is quite famous.
