Awards:?
Best actress for 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke' (Filmfare - 1994).?
Current Status:?
India's answer to Julia Roberts. Ms Clean. Everybody's darling. Always doing the right things and the right films. Has Mr Jai (Moneybags) Mehta to back her up unless her career goes wrong. Not that there are any chances of that happening though. The last two years Miss Chawla has been busy and casually caught every meaty role from under the noses of Manisha, Karisma and Kajol. 'Yes Boss', 'Deewana Mastana' and 'Ishq' erased the memory of her earlier flops but with disasters like 'Duplicate' and 'Saat Rang Ke Sapne' recently the vicious cycle seems to be at work again...
Strengths:?
A hard interior under the soft exterior. What's more she's matured as an actress and she's working with the best of banners and with the pick of heroes. And she's got a loyal fan following that refuses to diminish. So liked is Chirpy Chawla, that heroes like Shah Rukh, Akshay, Sunil, Chandrachur & Aamir absloutely delight in working with her. Even the rumours of her marriage with Jai Mehta didn't deter the producers from lining up.?
Weaknesses:?
Mr Jai Mehta and her secret marriage to him. Wrong chocie of films - Juhi is single handedly responsible for giving Karisma all those hits by refusing those films at the nth hour...
What to watch for:?
Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 'Jhoot Bole Kauva Kaate' (with Anil), Rahul Rawail's 'Arjun Pandit' (with Sunny), Shashilal Nair's 'Pagla' (with Shah Rukh & Jackie), the delayed 'Karobaar' (with Anil & Rishi), 'Billa No. 302' (with Nana Patekar), Guddu Dhanoa's next (with Sunny) & Kuku Kohli's next (with Sunil Shetty).?
