Yesteryear's top actresses coming together, getting chatty and sharing the same platform - that's something that possibly only Karan Johar can manage! Yes, this week we saw Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit on Karan's couch. Juhi made her debut on the show while it was Madhuri's second time there.
While KJo asks newcomers what took them so long to come on the show, this time he was on the receiving end. Before he could ask Juhi, she asked him what took him so long to call her! Even though it was her first, she looked completely at ease and happily answered whatever she was asked. That's the thing about both these lovely ladies - so calm, composed and dignified. It was a delight to see them on a show like this!
Karan spoke to them about their illustrious careers which took us way back to those times. They spoke about the current state of Bollywood, their co-actors and their husbands! In spite of being so popular among their fellow co-actors, it's interesting to see how both of them chose to marry outside the industry.
Here are a few highlights from the show -
"Success had gone to my head and I made stupid decisions." - Juhi Chawla
Little did we know about Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla's cold war which started with a prank on the sets of Ishq. The duo went without speaking to each other for 4 - 5 years.
Juhi Chawla never happened to do a film with Salman Khan. When asked what their equation has been like, she said that for the longest time she felt that he looked through her!
"We were very courteous but we didn't know each other. We hardly ever met." - Madhuri Dixit on Juhi
"Back then, I didn't take up a film because she (Madhuri) was in it"- Juhi. Yes, she was offered Karishma Kapoor's role in Dil Toh Pagal Hain which she denied as she didn't want to play second lead to Madhuri. However, today she thinks it was a silly decision she made.
"Couldn't have handled looking at my husband looking into the mirror as much as I did" - Juhi on why she chose to not marry an actor.
When asked which young actor would they like to romance, both of them chose Ranbir Kapoor.
When it came to acting skills, Priyanka ranked highest while Katrina ranked the lowest in both their books.
When asked which current actress does she see herself in, Juhi said "Anushka Sharma"
Juhi thought Parineeti Chopra needs a stylist, Mallika Sherawat needs a therapist and Nargis Fakhri needs an acting coach.
"Kai Po Che" - Overrated film according to Juhi
Juhi and Madhuri chose Salman as their brother, Shah Rukh as their husband and Aamir as their friend.
There was a video compiled for them where we saw the young set of actors - Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor and Imran Khan talk about their love for these two ladies! First crushes, love, lust - they spoke about it all and had Juhi and Madhuri blushing! What came as a surprise was Ranveer's dance dedicated to the both of them! He had everyone in splits with his latkas and jhatkas!
