According to reports, they produced three projects but decided to part ways due to internal conflicts. Later, Juhi established her own production company called, Juhi Chawla Productions Private Limited, in collaboration with filmmaker and producer Aziz Mirza.

Moreover, she has been associated with many brands such as Pepsi, Kellogg's, Emami Boroplus, Keshking Ayurvedic Oil, Rooh Afza, Kurkure, but the amount she charges for each endorsement is not known.
Following Juhi Chawla on the list of richest actresses in India is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with net worth of over Rs 850 crore. Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone round out the top 5, thanks to their growing business empires and successful projects. Despite their impressive fortunes, their net worth still falls short of Juhi Chawla's towering income.

We still have a long way to go.'About the pressure actors face during long shoots, Rana said, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. It's a choice. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that's their system.'His comments come in the wake of headlines surrounding Deepika Padukone, who reportedly exited 'Spirit' after her request for an eight-hour workday was declined.

While she didn't reveal the film or song's name, Shobana said, 'I will share an anecdote about Bachchan sir from a time when I shot for a song with him in Ahmedabad many years ago. For the song, I had loads and loads of clothes wrapped around me. Bachchan sir had his caravan and the entire Ahmedabad came to a standstill because they all crowded to see Amitabh Bachchan.
