Juhi Chawla made the decision to marry Jay Mehta when she was at the peak of her career, delivering hits. Jay had to woo Juhi for nearly a year before she agreed for the same. A few years ago, Juhi had opened up about the reason behind secret wedding.
The actress stated that she was concerned for her career, and wanted to keep things quiet. Juhi had told Rajeev Masand, “I was just about established and just starting to do well.That’s the time Jay was serenading me, and I was afraid of losing my career just when I kind of got there. So, I wanted to carry on and this seemed the midway, that let’s keep it quiet and it’s okay, you carry on working.”
Juhi further mentioned that she was experiencing a tough period back then, having recently lost her mother. “That year my mother passed away as well so I had another tragedy and that was a very difficult time for me as well because I felt I was going to lose everything I had, everything I loved, my work an my mum.” Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta went on to tie the knot in 1995 and are blessed with two children, Jhanvi and Arjun.
Recently during an event hosted by Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Juhi had revealed how her mother-in-law recalled almost 2000 invitations as the actress wanted a low key wedding. “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,” Juhi had shared.
