At the glittering premiere of Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, a heartfelt moment between two iconic women from the Indian entertainment industry stood out amid the usual glitz and glamour. Veteran actress Juhi Chawla was seen respectfully touching the feet of legendary singer Asha Bhosle, capturing the attention of fans and media present at the star-studded event.
The screening, held at a prominent Mumbai multiplex, saw an impressive turnout of Bollywood celebrities, artists, and media personalities, all gathering to show their support for Aamir Khan’s latest cinematic offering. Amid the flurry of flashbulbs and greetings, it was Juhi Chawla’s quiet, graceful gesture toward Asha Bhosle that stole the spotlight for a moment.
As Juhi entered the venue, dressed in an elegant traditional outfit, she noticed Asha Bhosle seated near the entrance. Without hesitation, the actress walked over with a warm smile and bowed down to touch the legendary singer’s feet — a traditional Indian gesture of respect. The two exchanged affectionate smiles, and Asha Bhosle placed her hand on Juhi’s head, blessing her warmly.
Onlookers and photographers immediately captured the touching moment, which later made rounds on social media and fan pages. Many praised Juhi for upholding cultural values and expressing such genuine reverence for a senior artist. Social media was abuzz with admiration, with fans calling it “a beautiful moment of humility” and “a reminder of how Bollywood’s golden generation continues to lead with grace.”
Juhi Chawla and Asha Bhosle share a long-standing association in the industry, having contributed to Indian cinema in their respective fields over the decades. While Asha Bhosle’s evergreen voice has graced countless films, Juhi Chawla has been a beloved face on screen since the late 80s. Their warm exchange at the premiere brought back memories of an era where mutual respect among artists was not just a courtesy but a tradition.
The premiere itself was a grand affair, with other celebrities including Salman Khan, Kiran Rao, Javed Akhtar, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra also in attendance. Aamir Khan, who has both acted in and produced Sitaare Zameen Par, was seen warmly welcoming guests and posing for photographs.
The film, which is expected to deliver a socially resonant message wrapped in heartfelt storytelling, has already generated considerable excitement ahead of its theatrical release. But even before the film has hit the screens, the premiere evening offered moments that stirred the emotions — not only through the anticipation of a powerful story but through real-life acts of love and respect, like the one between Juhi and Asha Bhosle.
As one fan wrote under a viral clip of the moment, “In a world where stardom often overshadows values, this simple gesture reminds us why we admire these icons not just for their talent but for their humanity.”
