Despite his current status as a superstar, Salman Khan’s proposal was rejected by Chawla’s father citing the actor’s then fledgling career as the reason.
The revelation came during a candid discussion about his personal life, where Salman Khan expressed his early love for Juhi Chawla, describing her as “innocent looking”, which deeply charmed him.
On her part, Juhi Chawla confirmed that Salman Khan approached her for marriage at a time when she was primarily focused on building her career.
She admitted that she didn’t know Salman Khan well enough then because he was not as popular as he later became. Chawla was focused on her growing career, which led her to turn down the proposal.
Salman Khan’s romantic history includes high-profile relationships with several Bollywood leading ladies, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif, making this revelation a rare glimpse into his less publicized personal endeavours.
