Juhi Felt Pampered by Jay Mehta
Juhi revealed that Jay won her over by sending flowers, cards, and gifts. She felt truly pampered by his efforts. While she admired the heroes she worked with, she believed she wouldn’t have been comfortable with a partner who spent as much time in front of the mirror as she might.

The Ishq' actress added that as actors, they are already very self-focused, and she couldn’t see herself marrying someone with a similar personality. She was sure from the beginning that she wanted a different kind of partner.
Juhi has played leading roles in films such as Lootere, Aaina, Darr, Ram Jaane, Deewana Mastana, Yes Boss, Ishq, and Arjun Pandit. She was last seen in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. Madhuri will soon be seen in the Netflix series Finding Anamika.
