Juhi Chawla Marks Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th With Candid Tribute to His Persuasive Pull

Her recollections span early film sets to their Kolkata Knight Riders partnership.

Overview

  • Chawla says Khan "can convince you to do anything," crediting his easy command of words.
  • She recalls he spent two hours persuading her to sign Duplicate despite her limited role in the film.
  • Early on, she saw him work three shifts a day and earn a reputation for salvaging underwritten scenes, as director Aziz Mirza trusted he would.
  • Their association includes films such as Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Duplicate and Bhootnath, alongside co‑ownership of the IPL’s Kolkata Knight Riders.
  • Background notes highlight her signing a Rs 1 lakh bond as guarantor for Aryan Khan, who was later acquitted, with reports also pointing to a fan event at Balgandharva Rangmandir and a planned wave from Mannat for his 60th.
