Overview

• On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Khan recalled a minor dispute during the 1997 filming of Ishq that led to seven years of silence with co-star Juhi Chawla despite working together.
• He described his habit of shutting down emotionally when hurt as a major flaw, warning that "silence can be cruel" and often masks fear.
• Juhi Chawla made multiple attempts to reconcile over the years but the feud only ended after Khan’s first wife, Reena Dutta, urged him to meet Chawla following his 2002 divorce.
• Chawla’s surprise phone call after the divorce prompted the actors to finally restore their friendship, demonstrating the endurance of their bond beneath the silence.
• Khan also shared that a brief four-day silence with his second ex-wife, Kiran Rao, made him realize the pain his withdrawal could cause and underscored the need for open communication.
