‘Ziddi' Aamir Khan on his 7-year feud with Juhi Chawla over pranks on Ishq set, says his stubbornness delayed reconciliation: ‘Reena mujhe bolti thi…'
Despite sharing a warm bond and starring together in several blockbuster films such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Ishq and Love Love Love — which continue to be cherished even today — Bollywood icons Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla once had a bitter feud that lasted nearly seven years. During this period, the two did not speak to each other. Aamir Khan recently opened up about the fight and admitted that his own stubbornness had delayed their reconciliation. Appearing on Raj Shamani's podcast, the Bollywood star reflected on his character traits that he considered red flags. He explained that if someone emotionally hurt him or broke his trust, he would completely shut them out, refusing to give them any opportunity to reconnect. Aamir admitted that he used to exhibit high levels of ego and would give the silent treatment even to those close to him. However, he added that he has since managed to curb this tendency to some extent. Only in SCREEN | Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's Nayakan is not timeless, nor has it aged well; let that sink in 'I did not talk to Juhi for seven years. Even when we were working together, we did not talk. I got upset with her over a trivial matter. Juhi tried a lot, but I didn't budge. Reena (Dutta, Aamir's first wife) mujhe bolti thi, 'Kaise kar rahe ho tum? Milo use, khatam karo.' (Reena told me, 'What are you doing? Meet her and end the fight.') But I didn't. I was stubborn,' Aamir shared. Revealing the reason behind their feud, Juhi once said that it happened on the sets of Ishq, where she starred alongside Aamir, Ajay Devgn and Kajol. Maintaining that the two men, during their time together on set, played so many pranks on her that, after a point, she got agitated. 'Aamir was somebody I liked as a friend. We used to fight about tiny things. Once, we fought over something stupid and didn't speak to each other for some time. We were shooting for Ishq, and Aamir and Ajay would pull pranks on me on the set. They went on till a point where I almost cried. I was upset and, in an egotistical moment, declared that I would not shoot the next day,' she once told Savvy Magazine. ICYMI | Nargis endured beatings from her brother, lost opportunities and money because Raj Kapoor kept her on the hook for 10 years Juhi added, 'And to my word, I didn't go to the set the next day. The following day, Aamir, Ajay, and Induji came to my house, and Aamir apologised. But once that was resolved, Aamir got very upset with me. He said, 'You can say anything to me or fight with me, but you cannot not come to the set. The whole day of shooting got stalled because of you. And that's a big loss to the producer because the whole unit turned up.'' Juhi also revealed how she and Aamir reconciled: 'Years later, something happened, and I went to meet him and said, 'Aamir, it was very stupid,' and he said, 'Why didn't you just come and say something to me before?' He thought I was angry with him, and I thought he was angry with me. That's why it is so important to clear things up, because sometimes it's just a miscommunication.' Aamir himself, during a media interaction in 2002, revealed that they buried the hatchet when Juhi reached out to him after learning about his and Reena's separation. 'When she got to know about my divorce from Reena, she called me up and asked to meet. Juhi had been close to both Reena and me, and she wanted to sort out our differences. We might not have been on talking terms, but had continued to care for each other,' he shared.

Aamir Khan didn't speak to Juhi Chawla for 7 years, until one unexpected call changed everything
Aamir Khan recently revealed that he didn't speak to co-star Juhi Chawla for seven years following a minor argument during the filming of Ishq. (Image: X/@teamsrknepal) In a career spanning decades, Aamir Khan has carved a niche for being not just a perfectionist but also brutally honest—whether it's about his professional choices, personal life, or flaws. Recently, in a candid conversation on entrepreneur Raj Shamani's podcast, the actor peeled back the curtain on one of Bollywood's most unexpected cold wars: his seven-year silence with long-time co-star and close friend Juhi Chawla. The two, who rose to stardom together in the cult classic Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak , had a falling out while filming Ishq in 1997. Aamir admits the reason was minor, but his reaction was anything but. 'Juhi aur mera jhagra hua, 7 saal chala,' he confessed. 'I stopped talking to her—even though we were working together. That too, over a small issue.' While Juhi Chawla reportedly made several attempts to reconcile, Aamir remained immovable. His then-wife, Reena Dutta, even urged him to let go and move forward, but Aamir remained emotionally locked. 'Juhi tried a lot. Reena would tell me—'Kaise kar rahe ho tum? Meet her, end this.' But I wouldn't budge,' Aamir admitted. The silence lingered, awkward and unexplained, even as the two shared the same sets and industry circles. It wasn't just a personal rift; it was a professional one too, clouding one of Bollywood's most celebrated on-screen pairings. — Team_JuhiChawla (@Team_JuhiChawla) It wasn't until 2002, when Aamir and Reena Dutta announced their separation, that the tide turned. Despite years of silence, Juhi Chawla reached out to Aamir—knowing he might not even answer her call. But she dialed anyway. 'Juhi somewhere knew I might not pick up her call, but still she called me. That touched me,' Aamir recalled in the documentary Rubaru Roshni . 'I realised that while we weren't speaking, the care never went away. That's what real friendship is.' The gesture struck a chord. It was the emotional thaw that finally ended a cold war rooted in ego and miscommunication. Aamir, in his words, realised the value of enduring friendships over petty grudges. Now preparing for his next big release Sitare Zameen Par opposite Genelia D'Souza, which hits cinemas on June 20, 2025, Aamir seems to be reflecting more than ever on the emotional script of his own life.

‘Ziddi' Aamir Khan Ignored Juhi Chawla For 7 Years, Until Reena Dutta Intervened
Last Updated: Aamir Khan opens up about his seven-year-long silence with Juhi Chawla over a small disagreement and how his ex-wife Reena Dutta urged him to reconcile. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has built a reputation for being intensely private, introspective, and deeply committed to his craft. But in a rare moment of vulnerability on entrepreneur Raj Shamani's podcast, Aamir opened up about an emotional chapter from his past that still stings—the time he let a disagreement with longtime friend and co-star Juhi Chawla spiral into a silent war that lasted seven years. Describing it as one of his biggest flaws, Aamir admitted to having a tendency to emotionally shut down when he feels hurt. 'If someone says something that wounds me, I don't argue, I don't fight—I just go completely silent. I used to think I was being dignified by not reacting. But silence can be cruel, too," he said. It was during the filming of Ishq (1997) that the fallout with Juhi Chawla occurred. What started as a small disagreement ballooned into a full-fledged cold war. 'Juhi and I had a fight over a trivial matter—something that today seems inconsequential. But I was so upset, I didn't speak to her for seven years. We were working together on films during that period, but I completely shut her out. I wouldn't even acknowledge her presence." According to Aamir, Juhi made multiple attempts to mend the rift. 'She tried to talk to me several times, but I was ziddi (stubborn). I just couldn't let go of the grudge. My ex-wife Reena Dutta used to plead with me, saying, 'What are you doing? This is not right. Go talk to her.' But I was too caught up in my own ego." This pattern of withdrawal, he admitted, wasn't limited to his professional relationships. Aamir recounted another instance with Kiran Rao, his second ex-wife, when a minor argument led him to stop speaking to her for four days. 'I was hurting, and I thought I needed space. But when I saw Kiran break down in tears, I realized how much pain my silence could cause. That's when I knew I had to change." The stalemate with Juhi Chawla ended years later—unexpectedly, and with grace. 'After my divorce from Reena, Juhi called me out of the blue. She knew I might not answer, but she called anyway. That phone call changed everything. She said she wanted to meet, to talk. It moved me deeply. Despite everything, our friendship had survived." Juhi had always been close to both Aamir and Reena, and her gesture helped mend what years of silence couldn't. 'That moment reminded me that real friendships don't disappear. They may go quiet, but they're always there beneath the surface." Years earlier, Aamir had briefly mentioned this fallout during the promotions of the documentary Rubaru Roshni, but this recent podcast appearance was the first time he unpacked the emotional depth of the situation. The story isn't just about two Bollywood stars falling out—it's a broader reflection on how ego, hurt, and unresolved conflict can poison relationships over time. Aamir's openness also signals how even the most guarded celebrities can carry emotional wounds just like anyone else—and that healing starts with accountability. Now, decades later, Aamir and Juhi remain on warm, respectful terms. And while time has moved on, the lesson remains. 'Silence," Aamir said, 'is not always golden. Sometimes, it's just fear in disguise."
