| ME & MY CAR - Juhi Chawla | |||||||
The focus of cameraman Santosh Sivan was a red Santro. Or rather Shahrukh and Juhi in the front seat of the car acting out some elaborate plot from their latest blockbuster. Suddenly the sun decided to pack up, and I got my ten minutes with the lady with the infectious laugh. So is Juhi Chawla crazy about cars? Im not a guy, so Im not crazy about them. But I do like to ride in a nice car - it feels more special. So whats her idea of a nice car? My favourite is a stately little Mercedes. No particular model, I like a little luxury kind of a car. Then why do you drive a Range Rover and not a Mercedes? It is more practical. Its big, its got a lot of space. I carry a number of things in it; in fact, it looks like Im leaving town every morning with my bag and baggage. There are a lot of things one needs for shooting, like my make-up material. Besides, there are books and things, plus a nice box with drinks. I also carry a little DVD player...so if I happen to be sitting idle, I can just dish it out. My Range Rover is like a home on wheels. I travel up and down from town a lot. I live in town and my work is in Mumbais suburbs. The social things I do also seem to be in the suburbs. I end up spending around two-and-a-half hours in my car each day, so its nice if its roomy and comfortable
I dont drive every day. In Mumbais kind of traffic who wants to go through the drudgery of driving? Its different on Sundays - when the roads are clear, I like to get into the drivers seat. laborating
on the pitfalls of Mumbai traffic, Juhi continues: We had a mishap
on Peddar Road once. The traffic was moving very slowly and we were driving
at around 20kph and a taxi rammed right into us. I was shaken and angry
at the drivers carelessness: Is something wrong with you? You
cant be so slow and not see the big little monstrosity in front of
you! Then I saw the damage. Everything on one side of his cab had
gone in - the headlamp, the bonnet, everything. The car was gone but the
only damage to our car was one cracked little light. It was then that I
realised the strength of my little car, that its very sturdy, very
strong - like a truck. |
