Juhi Chawla opens up about her old rivalry with Madhuri Dixit

Beside the early rivalry between Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, there was also a third name, which added to the competition and that was OF Juhi Chawla.

In an upcoming episode of ‘BFFs with Vogue’, Chawla spoke about her stiff rivalry with Dixit. The host asked Chawla, “Your most bitter-rivalry was with which star?”. After initially hesitating to answer, the host tweaked the question, to which Chawla answered, “Madhuri Dixit”.

In an episode of ‘Koffee With Karan’, Chawla also made the admission as to why she rejected Karisma Kapoor’s role in ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, she said, “Back then, I didn’t take up a film because she (Madhuri) was in it.”

Asked why she had refused ‘RIshta’, which starred Anil Kapoor and Dixit, she added, “I wasn’t sure that my role would be on par with Madhuri’s. Perhaps I wouldn’t have had such doubts if I trusted the director completely. I don’t have anything against Madhuri Dixit though. She has been warm whenever we have met. And she is a good actress and an excellent dancer. If I am pitted against her in a film, I don’t want to come out looking second best. Comparisons are bound to arise when we are seen together. So I just didn’t want to get into a chakkar.”
