Actor Juhi Chawla who has been co-stars, business partners and close friends with Shah Rukh Khan recently recalled an anecdote where SRK once lost his car because he was unable to pay its EMI.

Talking at the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry about Shah Rukh’s initial days in Mumbai and the film industry Juhi said, “I remember Shah Rukh those days didn’t have a home in Mumbai. So, he used to come from Delhi (his hometown). I don’t know where he stayed. He used to have tea with the unit (the film crew), eat with the unit, and blended in the unit seamlessly. He also did 2-3 shifts then. He was doing Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992) with me, Dil Aashna Hai (1992), and another film with Divya (Bharti, Deewana, 1992). He was very driven.”

“He had a black Gypsy. But it was taken away one day because he couldn’t pay the EMI, or there was something. He came on our set very dejected. I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll have many more cars one day.’ And he still remembers that. Because it’s true. Look at him today,” she added.

Juhi and SRK have shared screens in films like Darr (1993), Ram Jaane (1995), Yes Boss (1997), Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000) and One 2 Ka 4 (2001) among others.
