Is Juhi Chawla’s Character in Ekta Kapoor’s Web Series Inspired By Sushma Swaraj?

Last month, we told you that Juhi Chawla will do a cameo in Ekta Kapoor’s web series to be directed by Nagesh Kukunoor.

Now, we hear that Juhi’s ‘influential’ character in the series might be inspired by External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj. We laid our hands on a picture in which she bears an uncanny resemblance to Ms Swaraj. See it for yourself.

Right from the bindi to the way the saree has been draped, the similarity is hard to miss.

With the web series, Juhi is making her debut on the digital platform. This will be her second collaboration with Nagesh Kukunoor. She has previously worked with the director in Teen Deewarein (2003).

Juhi confesses that she has fond memories of working with Nagesh. She never got a chance to work with him over the years but when he offered her the role, she jumped at the offer and said yes!

Talking about her shooting experience, she felt it was like a breeze. The cameo role that she shot for was very interesting and well-written. She got excited because of a lovely twist at the end. It is a dialogue-driven scene for which she took Nagesh’s advice and did what he asked her to do.

Juhi is also kicked about the entire digital space as she feels that there are no boundaries when it comes to being on a digital platform, as it could be watched anywhere around the world.

The series will be streaming on ALTBalaji. Launching soon this year, ALT Balaji marks Ekta Kapoor's foray into the digital domain.
