Juhi Chawla reveals why Rishi Kapoor scolded her on Sharmaji Namkeen sets, thought she was acting 'insecure'

Juhi Chawla will be seen with Rishi Kapoor on Sharmaji Namkeen. The film, which is set to have a direct-to-OTT release, marks Rishi's last project.

Juhi Chawla and Rishi Kapoor, who worked together in a number of movies since appearing together in the 1992 film Bol Radha Bol, recently reunited for Sharmaji Namkeen. The film, which is set to have a direct-to-OTT release, also marks Rishi's last project. The actor died in 2020 after filming a major portion of the film, and actor Paresh Rawal played the role for the rest of the movie.

Juhi Chawla recalls that Rishi Kapoor screamed at her on Sharmaji Namkeen sets.

Juhi recently revealed the experience of working with Rishi Kapoor in his last film, and said that the film was “so much fun but at the same time, heartbreaking.” When asked about the fondest memory of the late actor, Juhi recalled that there have been many of them throughout her career.

The actor further recalled working with Rishi on the Sharmaji Namkeen sets. She told Indian Express, “I always had him scolding me on the sets. Always. When he started scolding, I started giggling. It was so much fun to work with him. Pyaar se daante hai wo (He scolds with love)." She further recalled one incident where Rishi screamed at her for looking at the director's monitor.

Sharmaji Namkeen, which also stars Suhail Nayyar, Taaruk Raina, Satish Kaushik, Sheeba Chaddha, and Isha Talwar, is directed by Hitesh Bhatia. The film will be out on Amazon Prime Video on March 31.
