It has been 33 years since the blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak released and made Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla overnight stars. But the journey before that was not an easy one for the two superstars. On the latest episode of The Kapil Sharma Show that aired on October 17, Juhi was one of the guests along with Ayesha Jhulka and Madhoo.

While interacting with the host Kapil Sharma, Juhi Chawla shared a rather amusing anecdote. She recalled, "I still remember when our movie was going to be released. Nobody knew us. Remember, at that time, it was a common practice for taxis to carry film posters. There was a long line of taxis below our building, so I would go from driver to driver requesting them to put up the posters."

She added, "They would ask, ‘Who's he?', and I would say, 'He is the hero, Aamir Khan.' They would then point to my image on the poster and ask, ‘Who's she?', and I would say, ‘This is me.' And they would say, ‘No, no,' and shoo us away. But some did reply sweetly, allowing us to put up the posters." In case you missed the episode, here's a small promo:

And the rest, as they say, is history. Juhi Chawla is known for successes like Darr, Aaina, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Lootere, Bol Radha Bol, Ishq, Yes Boss, Deewana Mastana, Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and many more.
