After losing mom, my brother was my anchor: Juhi

Juhi Chawla's brother Bobby Chawla died on Sunday morning after being in coma over the past few years. Shah Rukh and Juhi were both friends as well as partners in business and Bobby became both the CEO of Shah Rukh's company Red Chillies Entertainments as well as a friend of Shah Rukh before going into coma. There was a time when Shah Rukh would visit Bobby everyday in the hospital until a few years back, when he appointed a new CEO Venky Mysore to replace Bobby as Bobby continued to be in coma. Juhi was extremely attached to her brother. In a recent interview with Bombay Times, every time the discussion of her brother came up, her eyes were full of tears and she would become speechless. Talking about her brother, she had said, "My emotional anchor was my mom. But I lost her in a car accident a year after my marriage. A few years later, my dad became sick and I lost him too.

My brother Bobby is eight years older than me. As kids, he and I would fight like cats and dogs. He would often push me and I would go flying and would hate him for it. He initially moved to Delhi to work, but then returned to Mumbai to build a career. After losing her, my brother became my anchor and I thought he would be there with me through thick and thin, but he has been in coma for a few years now. My husband Jai is today my anchor in every way and I am most attached to my children, Jai and my in-laws. What Jai cannot solve for me, I leave it to time to sort itself. I was broken when I lost my mum and then again, when my brother fell ill. I became spiritual. I questioned many things and am still questioning. Sometimes I feel scared that there is no one sitting up there. Of course, I also hold on more to my family and value them even more now." Losing her brother is a big loss for Juhi. A loss, the effect of which may reduce only over time. We pray that Juhi gets all the strength to deal with this loss.
