| SRK sends SMS to 'Juhiben' with his best wishes! |
| He wanted to show his support to the actress who was making her singing debut in 'Bhootnath'. |
| Yup, SRK, I'm gonna need it: Juhi Chawla and director Vivek Sharma on the sets of Bhootnath. Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan have been friends since their Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman days. So it wasn't surprising when he showed up to support her debut as a singer for Bhootnath, at the surburban studio where she was recording. Director Vivek Sharma says, "Juhi was quite nervous. It was her first time as a playback singer. We were recording at Vishal-Shekhar's new studio in Bandra. Shah Rukh was on his way to some ad shoot. As soon as I informed him about Juhi recording the song, he decided to drop in and give his best wishes." He further adds, "Unfortunately, he landed up at Vishal Shekhar's old studio and couldn't find her. He called me up and realised that he was at the wrong studio. Since Juhi was recording and her cell was off he SMSed me a long message wishing her luck and asked me to read it to her." The message says, "I came to Vishal-Shekhar's studio to wish Juhiben all the best for her singing but I landed up at the wrong studio. Convey my best wishes to her." Adds Vivek, "Juhi read the message after the recording and cracked up seeing the 'ben' tag attached to her name. Since that day, everyone on the sets refers to her as Juhiben." Juhi is singing for the little boy who plays her son in the film. The song has two versions a male one sung by Amitabh Bachchan and the female one sung by Juhi Chawla. Khan and Juhi will play an on-screen couple in Bhootnath. Earlier they acted together in Darr, Yes Boss, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Duplicate. |
