Superstar Salman Khan has been a leading name in Bollywood since the late 1980s. Now nearing 60, he has worked with countless actresses over the decades. But there was one actress — who started her career around the same time — with whom Salman never truly clicked. Interestingly, she is now considered one of the richest actresses in India.

That actress is Juhi Chawla.

While Salman made his acting debut in 1988, Juhi had already entered films in 1986 and went on to become one of the biggest stars of the 1990s. Even though they never worked together in a film, it wasn’t because opportunities didn’t arise. In fact, there was a time when Salman was supposed to star opposite Juhi — but she reportedly had him removed from the project.

Salman has spoken about this incident himself in interviews, saying that Juhi rejected the idea of pairing with him at the time. The film never materialised for the duo, and the two never shared the screen in their careers.

If you want, I can continue the article with the full story of what Salman said in the interview, why Juhi refused, and how their equation is today.
