Actor Shekhar Suman recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about his film Jaan Pe Khel Kar, where he shared the screen with Juhi Chawla. He expressed that he feels “extremely lucky” to have worked alongside stars like Rekha, Dimple Kapadia, and Madhuri Dixit.
Memorable Moments from Jaan Pe Khel Kar
Shekhar shared a monochrome picture with Juhi from the 1993 film, directed by S.A.K. Khan. The story follows Akash, a CID officer who is also a writer, while Kiran is a private detective on a mission to unveil smugglers.
He reminisced, “Throw back… with Juhi Chawla in a film called Jaan Pe Khel Kar. I had a triple role in that.”
Working with Bollywood Legends
Speaking further, Shekhar reflected on his experiences with some of the most beautiful actresses in India: “I was extremely lucky… I got to work opposite four of the most beautiful actresses of India: Rekha, Dimple, Madhuri, Juhi.” He accompanied this statement with the song “Gazab Ka Hai Din” from the 1988 film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, featuring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla.
A Career Journey
Shekhar made his acting debut in 1984 with Utsav, where he starred opposite the veteran actress Rekha. He later collaborated with Dimple Kapadia in the 1990 film Pati Parmeshwar and starred alongside Madhuri Dixit in Manav Hatya, released in 1986.
