Juhi Chawla Responds to the Viral Video
Responding to the buzz, Juhi Chawla explained her side in a recent News18 interview. She disclosed that Salman had offered her a project in a movie early in her career, but she couldn’t take it because of some unforeseen problems. “Salman had not turned into the ‘Dabangg’ Salman Khan then, and I was not familiar with him or other people like Aamir either. Due to some issues, I couldn’t do the movie,” she added.
