while yelling.
Juhi talks about her co-stars while reminiscing few funny and memorable moments with each one of them.
Aamir Khan - the 4am friend
Aamir and I used to fight like kids on sets. He would tease me, play pranks on me, we have seen him play pranks on other heroines, it was such a fun time. I really admired Aamir because anything that I asked him, he would explain in detail, he is a very intelligent guy. It was wonderful to listen to him. It was great comfort working with him. There was an ease, I always thought that if there was one person I can call when in trouble it was Aamir. He was kind of 4am friend. But he was such a prankster. One day, in Filmistan studios, while.keeping a straight face he tells me that he knew how to read palms. He took my palm in his hand and suddenly spat on it and started running. I chased him while yelling. Couple of hours later, Manisha (Koirala), who was shooting on the next floor, joined us. He played the same prank on her. He took her palm in her hand, and I was almost rolling down on the floor laughing. Once, when we were shooting for Tum Mere Ho, he chased me with a snake in his hand. He played asapera in the film and he'd learnt how to handle snakes. I would get nervous even looking at a snake and forget my lines. One day we were shooting an intimate bedroom scene and when I came for the shoot in the morning, I found him playing with a baby snake. Next he asked me to hold the snake and started coming closer, I was so petrified. I just fled and started running. I ran all around Filmistan and Aamir was running after me. It was quite a funny sight for everybody.
Shah Rukh Khan : Homeless SRK ate Studio food, drank Unit tea
He is very intelligent and witty. He would become one of the unit members during shoots. He would eat the unit food, drink the unit tea in the same glass as others. He didn't have his own home those days. He's from Delhi and during initial days he was staying at somebody's house whereas we would get food from home.It was a joy working with him.
Rishi Kapoor : How Chintu drove away his fans
I would never be the target of Chintuji's (Rishi Kapoor) pranks, it was never on me but on people coming to him for autographs. Some fans would come, push their children in the front saying that they want to take his picture, but actually it was their mummy or daddy who wanted it. This would really annoy Chintuji, who would, with a straight face, start talking in English while using big, big words which were totally unrelated. People would start wondering what he was talking. They would get nervous as things would get complicated and not make any sense to them. This was his ploy to drive away these fans out of studios or locations. I would be rolling with laughter knowing exactly why he was doing it.
Suniel Shetty : Bollywood's Anna scared Juhi with missed calls
I shot for a film, a thriller, with Suniel but it never got released. We were shooting in Ooty and mobile phones had just come in. There was some number that kept flashing on my phone but when I tried taking the call, nobody answered. I kept getting these blank calls repeatedly and it really got me worried and scared as well. I told Suniel about it and he kept telling me, Ya, ya, you got to be careful...' Here I was telling him about these missed calls and he was making me think that somebody was stalking me while I was believing him. Later I realised that he'd made his friend call me repeatedly from the sets!
Akshay Kumar : The 'magician' co-star made Juhi's watch disappear
Akshay is one superb magician. He talks to you while holding your hand, your wrist, keeps you engaged in conversation and within few seconds you realise your watch has disappeared. I just can't believe how well he does it. He really knows how to do Haath ki safai.
