Meet actress who uninvited 2000 guests, broke down before her wedding, her husband's first wife died in plane crash, she now owns Rs 46000 crore; her name is...

She married a businessman who stays away from the glamour of Bollywood. Over time, their friendship turned into love, and they decided to get married. But their wedding journey wasn’t as easy as it seemed. The actress is Juhi Chawla.

Juhi recently opened up about her wedding to businessman Jay Mehta. In a talk at an event by the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, she revealed how difficult it was for her to feel happy about the marriage. Juhi shared that her mother had passed away just a year before, and as the wedding day came closer, she felt heartbroken. The loss of her mother, along with fears of losing her career, left her in tears.

Juhi recalled how her mother-in-law stepped in during this emotional time. When Juhi broke down, her mother-in-law comforted her and suggested cancelling the grand wedding.

Even though invitations had already gone out to around 2,000 guests worldwide, her mother-in-law convinced the family to have a smaller ceremony. Juhi said she was touched by this kind gesture.

Before marrying Juhi, Jay Mehta had faced a personal tragedy of his own. His first wife had died in a plane crash, leaving him devastated. Juhi and Jay’s bond grew stronger over time, built on understanding and shared emotional struggles.

Despite being at the peak of her career, Juhi kept the marriage private until she was expecting their first child.
