Juhi Chawla's SHOCKING Statement On Karisma Kapoor's STARDOM

Actress Juhi Chawla is known for her work in movies like 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke', 'Darr', 'Ishq', 'Bol Radha Bol' and many others, but did you know she once claimed she is 'responsible for Karisma Kapooor's stardom'? Yes you heard that right. The actress, known for her quintessential bubbly girl-next-door image, had once termed saying no to 'Raja Hindustani' as a 'foolish decision', because the movie later became a 'blockbuster'. While replying to a question about whether she regrets not working with Madhuri Dixit in films before 'Gulaab Gang', Juhi said, 'The only time I got a chance to work with her was in 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai'. Back then I didn’t want to play the second lead to Madhuri. At that time I was a little bubble-headed. You make foolish decisions. I rejected 'Raja Hindustani' and 'Judaai', all these films went on to become blockbusters. I am responsible for Karisma Kapoor’s stardom.' Talking about working in 'films with two heroines' Juhi said, 'Not only Madhuri, but Karisma Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Raveena Tandon – we were all rivals. The rivalry remained for some years. We used to meet only on occasions like some film sets or functions. We would just exchange pleasantries and wouldn’t talk beyond that. We all worked in solo heroine films. Very rarely have I done films with two heroines. There were constant comparisons.' Juhi is a co-owner of IPL cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders with her husband Jay Mehta and Shah Rukh Khan. The actress also co-owns a production house with SRK. It has produced films like 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani'. For more news and updates, stay tuned to Etimes.
