Juhi Chawla recently revealed intriguing insights about her almost 30-year marriage with industrialist Jay Mehta. During a special episode of a celebrity dance reality show, the Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani star fondly reminisced about the pre-marriage days when she and her husband exchanged heartfelt letters and cards.
Juhi Chawla nostalgically mentioned, “Before tying the knot, he wrote me letters every day. However, that tradition ceased after marriage (laughs). Back then, it was letters and cards, a practice that has evolved into emails and WhatsApp messages today.”
Juhi Chawla offered a peek into the romantic moments that shaped their courtship, saying, “Jay and I crossed paths at dinner, and he began to orbit around me. On my birthday, he surprised me with a truck full of red roses. It took me a year to say ‘yes’ to him.” Her storytelling unfolded a tale of love that patiently blossomed, leading to a beautiful journey of togetherness. They got married in 1995.

Juhi Chawla, thoroughly impressed by the performance, shared her joy, saying, “I am so happy today because once again your performance was outstanding. Both of you are such good dancers. Your synchronization, movements, dancing on a slope… I’m sure it’s not easy, and coordinating together on top of that was very, very good. Superb.”
