Juhi Chawla Almost Rejected Sujoy Ghosh's Film Over a Controversial Scene

• Juhi Chawla initially hesitated to sign Sujoy Ghosh's 2003 film Jhankaar Beats due to a specific dream sequence in the script.
• The controversial scene featured Sanjay Suri's character, Deep, dreaming of a dancing condom that spoke to him, which Juhi found objectionable.
• Juhi explicitly stated she would not do the film if the scene remained, leading the makers to remove the entire sequence.
• Sujoy Ghosh credited Juhi Chawla for being the emotional backbone of the film, stating it wouldn't have worked without her character, Shanti.
• Despite its initial box office failure, Jhankaar Beats gained appreciation over time for its music and storytelling, now holding a 7.1 IMDb rating.
