Actress Juhi Chawla has been married to businessman Jay Mehta for 29 years. The star has always shied away from the spotlight, but she recently talked about her wedding and how Juhi was overwhelmed by the thought of a lavish wedding, prompting her mother-in-law to recall the invitations.
During a conversation with the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Juhi revealed that when she got married, she was “in the thick of films.” She shared, “I was shooting for some of the really big films of my career and I was supposed to get married.My mother had just passed a year ago. When the marriage date was coming close, I was thinking my mother is gone, whom I loved the most, and now my career will also go away. I didn’t know how to be happy about it. So, I broke down one day and I told my mother-in-law and she said, ‘It’s okay.’”
Speaking of her mother-in-law’s heartwarming act, Juhi reminisced about how her MIL recalled nearly two thousand invites to guests from all over the world. “She convinced the family to not have the big wedding and I got married at home with just the family and closest friends in attendance. So with just 80-90 people present. Imagine your mother-in-law cancelling the invites that had already been sent out,” the actress said.
Juhi and Jay were introduced by filmmaker Rakesh Roshan. Earlier, during her appearance on the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Juhi had shared tidbits about her love life and how Jay would write her letters every day.
