Juhi recently spoke about how she got overwhelmed with the idea of her grand wedding.

During a recent interaction with the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Juhi Chawla remembered how her mother-in-law's sweet gesture won her heart while the wedding day was approaching. Juhi shared that her MIL canceled her wedding invitations as the actress felt a bit overwhelmed back then.

Juhi said that her mother-in-law recalled around 2000 wedding invitations sent to guests around the globe.

"She convinced the family to not have the big wedding and I got married at home with just the family and closest friends in attendance. So with just 80–90 people present; imagine your mother-in-law canceling the invites that had already been sent out," the actress added.
