Juhi Chawla Feels That Television Is The Best Option After Films

Whether it’s Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon or Madhuri Dixit, many of Bollywood’s top actresses have made their presence felt on the small screen and the medium gives them a career choice after films, says Juhi Chawla, who is returning to the tube.

“The fact that TV gives me life beyond films is what I find very interesting. It keeps you in circulation. In earlier days, for an actress, it was the silver screen and after that nothing because there were no avenues. Today at least we are in a world where there are avenues, where you can enjoy yourself, still being an actor, still being a celebrity but lending yourself in other ways,” Juhi told in an interview.

Heroines in Bollywood do not enjoy too long a career span as opposed to male actors. But Juhi feels TV has given them an option. Top actresses have made their presence felt on the small screen, the medium gives them a career choice after films.

The 43-year-old is herself quite active on television. She was earlier seen as a judge on dance reality show “Jhalak Dikhla Jaa”, and will now host “Badmaash Company”, a children’s chat show that will go on air on Colors Sep 17. Source
