In an old video shared on Twitter, actor Salman Khan revealed that he had once asked Juhi Chawla's father for her hand in marriage and was turned down. When asked about the reason why, the actor said that he guessed that he didn't fit the bill.

Salman Khan has famously avoided getting married all these years. But a clip from an old interview of his from the 1990s has surfaced in which he reveals that he had once asked actor Juhi Chawla's father for her hand in marriage.

A Twitter user shared a short clip of an older interview of Salman, with the caption, "This salman khan (red heart emojis)." In the video, Salman is wearing a printed blue polo shirt with jeans and a hat. He states, "Juhi is very sweet. Adorable girl. I toh asked her father if he would let her get married to me." The interviewer asks him, "You asked him? What did he say?" Salman frowns and says, "No." When the interviewer asked why, Salman replied, "Don't fit the bill I guess."
