Juhi Chawla
, who is one of the most adored Bollywood actresses of the late ’80s and early ’90s, became an overnight sensation after the success of ‘
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
’ (QSQT). In a recent episode of Madness Machayenge, Juhi shared a sweet story about her experience working with director
Nagesh Kukunoor
on the film ‘
3 Deewarein
’. She also recalled how shocked she was when Nagesh first told her how much he liked the work she had done in
QSQT
.
She shared, “I was working in Nagesh Kukunoor’s 3 Deewarein and shooting in Hyderabad. He told me that he was my fan and liked my work in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT). I thought he was joking and was being sweet because I was working with him.”
As their working connection grew, Nagesh invited Juhi for lunch at his house and showed her a priceless poster of her film that was hidden inside his cabinet. She said, “One day, after the shoot, he took me to his house for lunch and showed me a poster of QSQT pasted inside his cupboard. He told me, ‘Maine aaj tak nahin utaare (I still have them stuck here. I haven’t taken them off).’ It is so interesting that he was a fan and here, I am working on his film and he was directing me. Life can be amazing.”
The film ‘3 Deewarein’, which also stars Jackie Shroff and Naseeruddin Shah, tells the story of a documentary filmmaker who, while documenting the rehabilitation of three seasoned criminals within a jail, discovers forgiveness in her own life.
