The 25th-anniversary celebration of Ashutosh Gowariker‘s landmark film ‘Lagaan’ turned into a memorable evening in Mumbai, with Kajol and Juhi Chawla stealing the show. The actress playfully roasted Aamir Khan, sending fans into a nostalgic frenzy with major ‘Ishq’ vibes. Let’s take a look at what happened at the event.
Kajol and Juhi Chawla hilariously roast Aamir Khan
The highlight of the evening came when Kajol and Juhi Chawla were asked to share a few words about Aamir Khan. The duo wasted no time turning the moment into a light-hearted roast. Kajol went first, saying, “Well, what can I say? One thing we can say about Aamir Khan is the fact that his production has definitely proved that he has great taste in movies, irrevocably good taste. Starting with ‘Lagaan’ and continuing forward, and great taste in women as well.“The remark left Aamir in fits of laughter, visibly shy at the jibe. Juhi then took her turn, adding, “I don’t have just one word but a lot more for Aamir. If I start, I can take over the evening. Because before he began Aamir Khan Productions, he was AK and we worked together; that was his first film. Aur dekho jisne mere saath kaam kiya, woh kahan pahunch gaya (And look at the people who worked with me — see how far they have gone in life).”
