Juhi Chawla’s Secret Marriage and Love Story in Spotlight on Her Birthday

In an interview, Juhi shared, “Before the wedding, Joy used to write me letters daily. Once, he sent a truckload of red roses for my birthday. It took me a year to say ‘yes’ to marriage.”

Juhi and Joy married secretly in 1995. Their relationship became public in 2001 when their first child, Jahnvi Mehta, was born. Juhi explained, “I was at the peak of my career, so I decided to keep the marriage private to avoid affecting my career.”

Joy Mehta’s past was also tragic. Before Juhi, he was married to Sujata Birla, sister of industrialist Yash Birla. Sujata died in a 1990 Indian Airlines Flight 605 crash. Deeply grieved, Joy found support in Juhi, and their friendship gradually blossomed into love.

Joy Mehta is currently the chairman of Mumbai-based multinational The Mehta Group, which operates in sectors including ceramics, cement, packaging, floriculture, engineering, and electrical industries. As of 2024, the company’s market value is approximately $2.1 billion. Joy is also a co-owner of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders.

Juhi and Joy’s luxurious lifestyle reflects a blend of Bollywood glamour and business power, including a stylish duplex in Mumbai with Arabian Sea views and a heritage home in Gujarat. Their collection of cars and properties is noteworthy.

Their love and family life are seen as a shining example of secret romance and business influence in Bollywood.
