Juhi
Chawla
Is
Devastated
By
Rishi
Kapoor's
Death
The
actress
began
the
letter
by
expressing
her
shock
over
Rishi's
demise
and
wrote,
"Shocked!!
Saddened
beyond
words!
Devastated
Can't
believe
it
...
Not
Chintuji
!
I
feel
really
really
sad.
I
have
many
many
memories
of
him
...I
started
working
with
him
soon
after
QSQT
in
Kalpataruji''s
film
Ghar
Ghar
Ki
Kahani,
Ghar
Ki
Izzat
was
another
of
our
films."
"At
that
time,
being
a
newcomer,
I
would
be
overawed
by
his
presence
on
the
sets,
as
he
was
such
a
big
star
he
was
always
such
an
effortless
actor
he
barely
rehearsed
and
the
director
was
always
happy
with
his
very
first
take
of
a
shot
!
I'd
be
trembling
and
praying
I
didn't
forget
my
dialogues
in
front
of
him
and
look
foolish.
He
was
always
friendly,
but
a
little
detached.
Everyday
he'd
work
two
shifts
mostly,
moving
from
studio
to
studio
and
always
punctual.
He
had
his
own
timing
and
he
kept
to
that.
I
can''t
remember
seeing
any
temper
tantrum,
he
was
super
efficient
with
work
and
effortless," shared
Juhi.
Juhi
Recalled
How
Rishi
Would
Make
His
Cheeks
Pink
By
Putting
Make-Up
On
His
Face
All
By
Himself
She
revealed,
"Impatiently
Chintuji
would
pick
up
the
sponge
dr
rub
it
all
over
his
face
..!!
The
pink
of
the
cheeks
got
rubbed
off
along
with
the
brown
of
the
chiseling
and
everything
would
be
mixed
up
on
his
face
..!!!Chintuji
would
ruffle
or
comb
his
hair
and
say
alright
....
I''m
ready
I
would
laugh
and
laugh
cause
Chintuji
had
just
undone
all
Dadas
efforts
!!
And
Chintuji
did
this
every
time."
Juhi
Spilled
The
Beans
About
One
Thing
That
Used
To
Annoy
The
Late
Actor
She
wrote,
"Chintuji
would
get
annoyed
with
fans
who
came
to
watch
shooting
with
tiny
children,
and
who
would
push
their
bawling
children
in
front
of
us
and
say,
'' Hamare
bacche
ko
aapke
saath
photo
leni
hai''.
Chintuji
would
say
to
us
how
do
people
do
this,
their
children
are
frightened,
have
no
clue
who
we
are
and
their
parents
instead
of
saying,
please
may
we
have
a
picture
with
you,
torment
their
children
.
He
came
up
with
a
trick,
when
some
such
person
would
come
and
begin
to
say,
''Sir
,
please
may
I''.
Chintuji
with
a
straight
face
begin
to
speak
formidable
high
sounding
but
meaningless
english
sentences,
''The
Constitution
of
the
American
Confederacy
will
take
punitive
action
against
the
lordship
of
the
Universal
intelligence
inducing
mankind''s
venerable
position
withholding
classified
information
in
toto
.!!!
and
then
with
a
straight
s
face
conclude
..
''
did
you
understand
..?!????
''
...
the
hapless
fan
by
now
would
be
completely
confused
,
gobsmacked
,
stammer
and
run
for
his
life
...!
as
usual
I
was
somewhere
around
,
holding
my
sides
with
laughter."
Juhi
Chawla
Opens
Up
About
Shooting
Their
Last
Film
Together
Speaking
about
Rishi
Kapoor's
last
film
Sharmaji
Namkeen,
Juhi
said,
"Due
to
Chintujis
treatment
,
the
shooting
was
postponed.
The
film
was
finally
taken
over
by
Ritesh
Sidhwani
and
Farhan
Akhtar
for
production
.
In
January
this
year
I
joined
the
crew
in
Delhi
for
the
shooting.
It
was
wonderful.
The
weather
was
beautiful,
our
shooting
was
on
track.
Chintuji
was
his
amusing,
happy,
some-times
grumpy,
often
chatty
self.
Just
sometimes
he
would
sit
by
himself
in
the
sun,
or
looking
into
his
phone
preoccupied."
"We
had
a
great
time
shooting,
he
was
effortless
,
absolutely
effortless
in
his
shots
.
Always
and
I
mean
always
after
his
shot
,
the
director
would
shout
a
very
satisfied
spontaneous
OKKKKK
into
the
mike
.
I
remember
watching
Chintuji
during
the
shots
on
the
monitor
and
almost
enviously
thinking
to
myself
...
Chintuji
is
so
nice,
just
SO
nice
on
screen
....
it
is
not
fair!"
"After
my
shots
Hitesh,
the
director
sometimes
said
a
doubtful..
yes
...
fine
...
ok
...good
.
After
most
shots
I
would
ask
direction
to
replay
my
shots
so
I
could
see
my
look
and
performance
,
Chintuji
would
chide
me
saying
...
You
are
such
an
insecure
actor!
What
is
this
bad
habit
all
you
have,
of
going
and
looking
at
the
monitor
.
The
monitor
is
only
for
the
director
...
it''s
not
meant
for
the
actor
!
Why
do
you
allow
all
this
Hitesh
!
??
And
more
often
than
not
we
all
got
a
scolding
,
for
some
trivial
thing
or
another
..
and
I''m
telling
you
Chintuji
''s
scolding
was
always
hilarious...
I
would
be
rolling
with
laughter
while
the
director
,
Hitesh
,would
try
to
reason
with
Chintuji
.
.
So
often
I
looked
at
our
cinematographer
and
crew
,signaling,
I
hope
someone
is
rolling
the
camera
in
between
shots
,
the
behind
-the-scenes
-goings-
on
are
so
funny
we
can
make
a
movie
from
that
footage
itself," recalled
Juhi
Chawla
in
her
post.
