Salman Khan Once Proposed Marriage to Juhi Chawla

MUMBAI: (Showbiz Desk) – An interesting revelation about Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has resurfaced, with the actor once admitting that he wanted to marry actress Juhi Chawla and even approached her father with a marriage proposal, which was reportedly turned down.

Juhi Chawla, one of Bollywood’s most popular actresses, is celebrating her birthday today. Known for her charming personality, radiant smile and impressive acting skills, she has remained a familiar and beloved face in Indian cinema.

Interestingly, Salman Khan was also among her admirers during the early years of their careers. In an old interview, the Dabangg star recalled that he was impressed by Juhi’s personality and considered marrying her.

According to Indian media reports, Salman revealed that he had approached Juhi’s father to seek his daughter’s hand in marriage. However, her father declined the proposal.

Although Salman did not disclose the exact reason behind the rejection, he suggested that he might not have met the expectations of Juhi’s father at the time.

Juhi Chawla also confirmed the incident in a previous conversation, acknowledging that Salman had expressed an interest in marrying her. She explained that their families were not particularly familiar with each other back then, which could have been one of the reasons the proposal did not move forward.

The actress also pointed out that Salman had not yet achieved the superstar status he enjoys today, while her own career was progressing rapidly.

Over the years, the two actors developed a friendly relationship and became well-acquainted. Interestingly, they never appeared together as a lead romantic pair in a film. Salman made a brief appearance in the 1997 comedy Deewana Mastana, while both actors were also part of the 2007 film Salaam-e-Ishq, although they featured in separate storylines.

Juhi Chawla eventually married businessman Jay Mehta in December 1995. The couple has two children, daughter Jahnavi and son Arjun.

The actress kept her marriage away from the public eye for some time, reportedly fearing that the announcement might affect her film career and professional commitments.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan has been linked with several actresses over the years but has never married, remaining one of Bollywood’s most prominent unmarried stars.
