Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla were turned back by Mumbai’s taxi drivers

When Juhi Chawla came on The Kapil Sharma Show, she had some of the few stories to relate. She took to the stage of the comedy show along with Madhoo and AYESHA Jhulka. As she spoke of the blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak which put her and Aamir Khan on the map, she told that she and Aamir were chased away by Mumbai’s taxi drivers. Mumbai’s taxis would carry the posters of the new films. Juhi said, 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.

She further said, 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 point to my image on the poster and ask, Who’s she? And I would reply, This is me. And they would say, No, No, and shoo us away. But some did reply, allowing us to put up the posters.
