Juhi Chawla had a lot of stories to tell when she appeared on 'The Kapil Sharma Show' along with Madhoo and Ayesha Jhulka. Juhi recounted the time she and Aamir Khan were shooed away by Mumbai cab drivers while talking about the movie 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (1988), which put her and Aamir Khan on the map.

 

At that time, Mumbai’s taxis would carry the posters of the new films. “I still remember when our movie was going to be released. Nobody knew us. Remember, at that time, it was a common practice for taxis to carry film posters. There was a long line of taxis below our building, so I would go from driver to driver requesting them to put up the posters,” Juhi said.

 

 

However, not all taxi drivers were ready to give space to a bunch of newcomers. “They would ask, ‘Who’s he?’, and I would say he is the hero, Aamir Khan. They would then point to my image on the poster and ask, ‘Who’s she?’, and I would say, ‘This is me.’ And they would say, ‘No, no’, and shoo us away. But some did reply sweetly, allowing us to put up the posters,” she said.

 

Aamir's throwback video from earlier this year, in which he was seen placing 'QSQT' posters on cars, went viral. “Zutshi, me, Mansoor and his sister Nuzhat, we would all get into our cars, get on the road, stop taxis and autos. We would tell them ‘Stick these, our film is coming out soon’. Some would agree to it but others would not. They would ask us which film is it? Who is in it? Who is Aamir Khan? I'd introduce myself as Aamir Khan. We tried a lot that people would get to know about our movie,” he said.
