Juhi Chawla married businessman Jay Mehta in a discreet ceremony in 1996, at the height of her stardom in the Hindi film industry. Explaining her decision to keep the wedding private, Juhi had said in a 2020 interview with Rajeev Masand, “At that time, you did not have the internet and you did not have cameras on every phone, so you could do it that way. I was just about established and doing well. That’s the time Jay was serenading me and I was afraid of losing my career just when I had kind of got there. I wanted to carry on and this seemed the midway.”
The couple are parents to two children, Jahnavi Mehta and Arjun Mehta. Professionally, Juhi has recently appeared in projects such as The Railway Men, Sharmaji Namkeen, and Hush Hush, while continuing to balance her career with a deeply private family life that continues to fascinate her fans.
