| Juhi Chawla hot smile |
A certain class and benevolence has always separated Juhi
Chawla from her ilk. Her upbringing in a family where education, etiquette and
propriety were given their due importance, Juhi was bound to imbibe all the
sophistication to cultivate herself as a true lady. A mother heading the
hospitality of the Taj Group, primary education in Mumbai's Fort Convent,
college education in HR and Sydenham and all those growing up years in South
Mumbai led to the formation of the refined young actress of Bollywood. Before
she became a heartthrob of the nation with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Juhi
contested for Femina Miss India and won the crown. In 1984 she went to Miami
representing India at the Miss Universe Pageant. Though she did not win the
title, she came back home loaded with experience, which she shared with the
viewers on television. Though a beauty queen, Juhi successfully managed to
steer clear of a sexy image and carved a niche of the innocent, vivacious girl
in pigtails. She refused to star in films that could project her as a sexy and
glamorous star. Lootere, for example, is one film which Juhi wasn't keen on
doing as she thought it would ruin her 'girl' image. After friends cajoled her
into doing it Juhi acquired the glamour tag too. There has been no looking back
since then. Yash Chopra signed Juhi for Darr a film which consolidated the
actress's star value. On the personal front, Juhi is a thorough friend. Her
commitment and a sense of attachment to her friends is for life. According to
filmi journo and Chawla's college mate, Omar Qureshi, Juhi is a person to stick
by her friends, newcomers or stars. That is how her firm friendship with Shah
Rukh Khan started. SRK has ever been grateful to the star Juhi for agreeing to
work opposite him, a newcomer then, in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. Juhi's
trustworthiness and her trusting self is a quality that will keep her embedded
on people's minds long after the star Juhi fades away into oblivion.
