Friendship with Shah Rukh Khan is not strained, says Juhi Chawla

Mumbai: Actress Juhi Chawla says there is "no strain" in her friendship with Shah Rukh Khan and that the superstar would be there for her whenever she needs him.

There have been reports of the two no longer being good friends. But, Juhi insists their friendship is strong, contrary to reports.

"It (friendship) is not strained or anything. With our growing lives, schedules we get busy. Like today Madhuri Dixit and I are working for a film because our work has brought us together. Then she will be busy with 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' and I will be busy with my work. How and when we will meet next we don't know," Juhi told 

"If I need something and I call Shah Rukh, I know I will get through him in an instant but I will not trouble him, because I know he is very busy, so I really need not take his time," she said.

Juhi wonders why their friendship is questioned often.

"I feel why it should be? I think it should be left to individuals to decide whether they get along or not, whether there is a connect more than work or not, then you can be friends," she said.

The actress does not feel upset about the reported growing animosity between her and Shah Rukh.

"I feel why it should be said (reported this way). There are friendships and there should be friendships among all," she said.

Apparently, the friction between Juhi and Shah Rukh started when her brother Bobby was replaced with Venky Mysore as the CEO of Red Chillies, without informing the actress.

When asked who are her friends from the film industry, Juhi said, "Whosoever I have worked with...whenever I meet them I will be nice to them, be it Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan or Amrita Singh and others. But it is not that I talk to

them every day and ask what you are doing and all. That doesn't happen."

Shah Rukh and Juhi were seen as one of the best on screen pairs. According to Juhi, the secret behind their chemistry was the sparkling films that they were offered.

She teamed up with the superstar in several movies, including 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman', 'Darr', 'Duplicate', 'Yes Boss' and others. Most of their films have been hit.

On work front, Juhi will be seen next in 'Gulaab Gang', which is loosely based on Uttar-Pradesh based Sampat Pal's 'Gulabi Gang'.

Director Soumik Sen has managed to bring two powerful actresses -- Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla -- on screen for the first time.

While Madhuri is the main lead in the film, Juhi will be seen in a negative role.

MODERN MUMS OF BOLLYWOOD

By Roshni Mulchandani and Faizan Qureshi - BollySpice.com

They're just as normal as any other moms around the world with a single exception; they are popular Bollywood actresses. But this doesn't make them any different. In fact, our Bollywood moms are as normal as they get. They stay up late nights tending to their sick children, turn up at school events and even read them bedtime stories. Some of them are more modern moms and others prefer the traditional methods of upbringing. Whichever way they come, they are Maa's. On the beautiful occasion of Mother's Day, we salute and honor all Mother's around the world. Here's taking a look at some of our favorite Bollywood Moms. 

Kajol: Already mom to the very cute Nysa, Kajol will be adding to her family by the end of the year. The award-winning mom has a number of films in the pipeline but has repeatedly claimed she prefers being a mom over any role in her life.

Mahima: Mahima Choudhary indulged in marriage rather quietly and gave birth even more silently. The Pardes actress has disappeared from the Bollywood scene as she is rather happy playing mom to her daughter, Aryana.

Karisma Kapoor: The Kapur nee Kapoor girl is mom to two beautiful children, Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor. While Karisma plays the role of Mom incredibly well, we do hope she finally gets back to acting soon. 

Madhuri Dixit: Madhuri Dixit moved to the States and gave birth to two adorable sons, Arin and Rayaan. The dancing queen's career may not have taken off post marriage, but her sons simply adore their famous mom.

Sridevi: Sridevi simply loves her two daughters, Jhanavi and Khushi. In fact, the family production house has used the girl's names in a number of films. It may take some time before we actually see the veteran actress on screen again but until then, she is quite the pretty mom!

Juhi Chawla: The giggly Juhi Chawla is probably one fun mom! She has a son, Arjun and a daughter, Jhanvi, both of whom she dotes on. The actress never completely gave up her career for a domestic lifestyle but has stated numerous times that her children come first!

Malaika Arora Khan: She has been officially crowned as India's yummiest mummy and there is no doubt about it. The svelte and sexy actress is mom to a very cute Arhaan and has declared that she is what she is because she is a hands-on mom. 

Sushmita Sen: Unconventional, intelligent and sexy. One can only hope Sushmita Sen bestows the same traits to her own girls, Renee and Alisa, when they grow up. This ex-Miss Universe had no bones in adopting her girls and plays mom to them ever so beautifully. 

Raveena Tandon: The mast-mast actress' post marriage may have not really kick-started but she has managed to stay fit and fine. Her daughter Rasha too possesses similar traits including owning a beautiful smile and this mom couldn't be happier.

Pooja Bedi: She has called herself a more "gypsy-like" mom and allows her children to just be. Aalia and Omar are both known as very bright children and Bedi loves playing mom to both of them.

Sonali Bendre: Sonali Bendre is known for being a doting mom to her son, Ranvir . In fact she has been named the most "Perfect Mom" within the fraternity. 

Twinkle Khanna: Akshay Kumar's wife ensures that if she is a good mom, Akshay must be a better father. However, while Twinkle is the stricter of the two, son Aarav is said to be super attached to his mom.
