After teaming up in movies like “Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman”, “Darr”, “Yes Boss” and “Duplicate”, popular onscreen duo Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla would soon recreate their magic in a television commercial.

Scripted and directed by Kabir Sadanand, the ad is a sequel to the last edition of the Matrix Forex TV commercial.

Set in a courtroom, the ad shows Shahrukh Khan as a criminal and Juhi as a judge.

The duo were last seen together in 2008 film Bhootnath and this is said to be their first commercial together. More

Once she was ‘Chirpy Chawla’, who excelled in light-hearted roles in films like Bol Radha Bol (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke (1993), Duplicate (1998) and Jhankaar Beats (2003). But in the last few years, happy Juhi has turned unhappy in offbeat cinema like My Brother Nikhil (2005), Sukhmani (2010)
and I Am (2011).

“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve done a regular commercial movie,” the actor agrees. “The last one was Bhootnath (2008). So, it was a welcome relief to shoot for SOS—Son Of Sardar in Patiala last year. It’s a comedy with lots of cute, quirky characters and funny lines.”

The rom-com revolves around two Punjabi families living in havelis (bungalows) out in the country. Juhi is a slightly dehati (rustic) Sardarni opposite Sanjay Dutt. “It’s such a coincidence that the last film I shot with Sanju, Safari (1999), also had Tanujaji (actor Tanuja), and now I’m working with both of them again,” she says, remembering how on a rainy morning during an outdoor shoot in Tekri on the Kerela-Tamil Nadu border, Sanjay had made tea for the unit. “I pretended to be a spot boy, holding an umbrella over his head while he poured the tea from the kettle into little glasses.” More

Juhi Chawla is probably regreting her outburst to a newspaper recently when she claimed that Shah Rukh Khan did ‘too little too late,’ referring to his acknowledgment of her brother Bobby Chawla, who has been in a state of coma in hospital for a long time, at the music launch of Ra.One. Chawla was the CEO of SRK’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment, and had helped the actor set it up.

At a recent event, the actress claimed the outburst was the result of emotions she has been carrying it for a while now. “The other day I was coming back from (photographer) Gautam Rajadhyaksha’s condolence meet when the media asked what I thought of him (Shah Rukh Khan). In that emotional state, I said why do we talk about a person when he is not around? How many times have we said how much person means to us when that person is around? The whole thing was blown out of proportion by the media. There’s nothing like ‘Juhi lashes out at SRK.’” More

Whether it’s Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon or Madhuri Dixit, many of Bollywood’s top actresses have made their presence felt on the small screen and the medium gives them a career choice after films, says Juhi Chawla, who is returning to the tube.

“The fact that TV gives me life beyond films is what I find very interesting. It keeps you in circulation. In earlier days, for an actress, it was the silver screen and after that nothing because there were no avenues. Today at least we are in a world where there are avenues, where you can enjoy yourself, still being an actor, still being a celebrity but lending yourself in other ways,” Juhi told in an interview.

Heroines in Bollywood do not enjoy too long a career span as opposed to male actors. But Juhi feels TV has given them an option. Top actresses have made their presence felt on the small screen, the medium gives them a career choice after films. More

Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan, chirpy Juhi Chawla and her hubby Jai Mehta are all set to develop a cricket stadium in Porbandar, Gujarat.
 
Apparently, the troika has zeroed in on Mahatma Gandhi`s birthplace because Jai`s family has roots there. Interestingly, the owners Kolkata Knight Riders plan to take over the Duleep cricket ground in Porbandar to build a stadium to be named after Jai’s grandfather – Nanji Kalidas Mehta in its place.

Apart from adding strength to Gujarat`s cricket program, it will also provide training camps to KKR.

Talking to a daily, a source said, “The local district cricket association and Mehta Sports Private Limited recently inked a deal to build the Nanji Kalidas Mehta stadium at a cost of almost Rs 10 crore.”

“They have decided on a three-tiered approach. First they plan to make at least 12 pitches, then the dressing rooms and finally the stands. UK-based David Hemstock Associates will develop the outfield and dressing rooms.” Source

The wonder actor Imran Khan who plays a non-romantic guy in his forthcoming film, ‘I Hate Love Storys’ reveals that he would like to work in romantic flicks like ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and that as a child he had a huge crush on Juhi Chawla. “While growing I had a huge crush on Juhi Chawla. I loved her in `Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak`.

I actually proposed to her as a child,” Imran told reporters at the Landmark book store at Infinity Mall. He was here to unveil a special two-book collection of Mills & Boon series based on his forthcoming movie `I Hate Luv Storys`.

“I would love to act in a film made similar to `Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak`,” he added.

Imran claims that when it comes to love he is very old fashioned and traditional. “I am a very old fashioned and traditional guy when it comes to love. The proof of this is I have been with the same girl for the last eight years,” said Imran, who is engaged to Avantika Malik. When asked what qualities he looks for in a girl, he said, “Apart from physical attractiveness, I like if the girl is funny and cracks jokes, however, at the same time someone with whom I can also have an intellectual conversation. A lot of girls say they like funny guys. This is true for guys also as they like girls with good sense of humour.” Source

The girl with her most endearing smile turns 42 today. She is none other than Juhi Chawla, today’s Birthday Girl.

This cutie made her dream debut with the smash hit Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, and with this very film itself, she became the dream of every cinegoer! During her heydays, her mere name in the film was good enough for the theater owners to laugh all the way till the bank.

Even though she has bid adieu to Bollywood  the cine goers just do not seem to be in a mood to see her off Bollywood! Maybe that explains the reasons why she was recently seen in films like Bhootnath, Kismat Konnection, Krazzy 4 etc.

The all time favourite actress of all Juhi Chawla has colored her hair blonde for her role in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance. Juhi is remembered for her different roles, and this time too, she is going to be remembered for sure!

Juhi plays the character of Minty Rolly, the producer’s (Rishi Kapoor) wife. For her character Juhi was required to change the way she looks and so she decided to do something she has never done before, color her hair blonde!

“When Zoya offered me the role I was extremely thrilled, even though I was told it was not a big role, I dint mind, it was different from all the other characters I have played before, and that was the most exciting part. Playing Minty was so much fun! And moreover I got to color my hair blonde, which also was something I had never done before.” says Juhi. Source

She is the original ‘bubbly’ girl who can even give effervescence an inferiority complex, with her most endearing smile. She is none other than Juhi Chawla, today’s Birthday Girl.

Amitabh Bachchan will be back with a bang this November with Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh, Juhi Chawla, Sameera Reddy and Jackie Fernandez. His forthcoming movie is a Sujoy Ghosh flick titled as Aladin and the Mystery of the Lamp. Amitabh Bachchan will be seen  playing Genius, the Genie where Ritesh will be the Aladin. The music is given by the duo Vishal & Shekhar. Currently the movie is in its production stage and is set to roll in the theatres on 21 November 2008.

If news are to be believed, Ayesha Takia was also a part of this project but due to some problems she had to make a cut out of the film. Director Sujoy Ghosh’s first film was Jhankar Beats which didn’t spread the magic of its beats too much. But we surely hope that this film will do a definite Jadoo in his career.
