Loved playing the girl next door, says Juhi Chawla

Juhi Chawla on playing roles that the audience still remember her for.

Juhi Chawla ruled the hearts of millions of Indians in the 90’s as the quintessential bubbly girl-next-door. The actress reveals that, that is the kind of character she was most comfortable playing since it came naturally to her.

“I was so happy doing such roles because when I tried to be a seductress or something else, I found it difficult and it would unnerve me. What came easily to me, and what I enjoyed tremendously was being cheeky, funny and putting a smile viewers’ faces,” Juhi says, adding, “I loved that I was the kind of girl you could take home to meet your mom, and I’ m so glad that that’s the image that has remained in the minds of people.”

These days, Juhi is in a happy place, and she’s being extremely picky, choosing only those projects that

genuinely excite her. “I’m in bliss right now, because I’m doing the work I like, and getting time to spend with my family. If I don’t want to do something, I just politely decline. It’s taken me nearly half my life to get to this stage, and I’m very happy right now,” she says.
