Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak:
This 1988 movie is one of the most loved romantic sagas of Bollywood. A young Aamir Khan romances a chubby Juhi Chawla in this modern day adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Lootere:
Along with Juhi, this movie also starred Sunny Deol, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles. Juhi's performance was well received and it helped her shed the image of a girl-next-door to become a Bollywood sex siren.
Darr:
Everyone remembers Darr as superstar Shah Rukh Khan's breakthrough role but Juhi was no less eye-catching than him. In Darr, Juhi was said to be at her career best. Be it her frightened expression when she saw Rahul or the twinkle in her eyes when she heard ‘Tu Hai Meri Kiran', Juhi stole the show with her fabulous acting. She started a trend of off shoulder dresses and curly hair with Darr.
Arjun Pandit:
Having shades of gray, Juhi Chawla outshone everyone else in this 1999 blockbuster. As her character grew from being a bubbly girl to the one who overshadows the role, Juhi left a mark on both the critics and viewers.
