Summary
- R Madhavan revealed his teenage crush on Juhi Chawla.
- He told his mother he wanted to marry Juhi after watching QSQT.
- Madhavan and Juhi Chawla co-starred in 'The Railway Men' but didn't act together.
Actor R Madhavan, recently honored with a Padma Shri, confessed to a long-held teenage admiration for actress Juhi Chawla. Madhavan revealed that upon watching Chawla's breakthrough film 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' in 1988, he informed his mother of his desire to marry the actress.
Years later, Madhavan and Chawla found themselves cast together in the Netflix series 'The Railway Men'. Despite this professional reunion, fate prevented them from sharing any screen time. Madhavan explained that Chawla joined the cast after his filming was complete, meaning they never had an opportunity to act opposite each other.
'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', released in 1988 and starring Aamir Khan opposite Chawla, was a significant box-office success. Madhavan, who had not yet entered the film industry at that time, began his acting career in television in 1993 before his film debut in 1997. Madhavan's recent film 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has also garnered positive reception.
