Did Salman really say 'Juhi Chawla can play my mother'?

If this is true Salman is deluded.

You are barking up the wrong tree, dude!

Salman Khan to Juhi Chawla: Play my mother

Juhi Chawla, 48, was offered a mother's role by 50-year-old Salman Khan on Bigg Boss. And Juhi has no one to blame but herself for the insult.

She couldn't contain her excitement at being on the same platform as Salman. "I am the only heroine of his generation whom he has never co-starred with, Juhi moaned hoping to get Salman's sympathy, attention and dates.

But Salman being Salman and hence blunt, pointblank reminded Juhi that she had refused a film many years ago with him . He even remembered the name of the producer who had made the offer (Bobby Kent) and that Juhi had recommended Aamir Khan for the role instead of Salman.

Juhi squirmed and pretended to not remember the incident. But it was evident she knew exactly what Salman was talking about.

"We can work together now, she giggled nervously.

"Yeah, you can play my mother now, Salman replied.

He was probably being his usual facetious self on camera. But the remark reflects the deep-rooted gender bias in our cinema where actresses beyond a certain age are relegated to playing mother's roles while their male counterparts are still romancing girls half their age.

Sadly, Juhi Chawla accepted the truth of what Salman said that evening in front of the entire world.

^thanks. Someone mentioned it in a SRK thread.

I don't why people are picking on SRK and Salman. As soon as Salman said that, Juhi said she was about to say the same thing. To me that was them both acknowledging the double standard that exists in the showbiz world and how actresses have a shorter shelf life.

Yes Salman said it in Big Boss show...i think Juhi was there to promote her movie Gulabi Gang.

you can watch it here.she went to promote chalk n duster movie..

All the money in the world, all the fame, all the success, cannot buy something called class. Comment is not specific to SK. How many times have we seen people being mocked as "uncle" or "auntie?"

it happens, Rakhee who is 6 years younger to Amitabh, played his mother in the 80s, and I think they have acted as hero/heroine too in the early 70s

We are closing this thread as it is an old article/video and has been discussed previously.
