Juhi Chawla talked about her decision to hide her marriage from the public eye

In one of her interviews with Rajeev Masand, Juhi Chawla divulged the reason behind hiding her wedding with Jay Mehta from the world for a long time, until she was pregnant with their first child. The actress remarked that she got married at a time when she was at the peak of her career, and just settled down successfully. Nevertheless, she had apprehensions about her marriage having an adverse impact on her newly built career, so she decided to keep it a secret. In her words:

“At that time, you did not have the internet and you did not have cameras on every phone, so you could do it that way. I was just about established and doing well. That’s the time Jay was serenading me and I was afraid of losing my career just when I had kind of got there. I wanted to carry on and this seemed the midway.”
