The 90s was an incredibly vibrant era in the history of Indian cinema. Numerous films were released, each one more captivating than the last. Actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Raveena Tandon, and Karisma Kapoor added immense charm to Hindi cinema during this period.

In the 90s, Juhi Chawla, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, and Madhuri Dixit were the talk of the town. Each actress contributed significantly to the industry. However, it was a decisive move by Juhi that led to a major hit.

In 1997, Yash Chopra's film 'Dil To Pagal Hai' was released, a love triangle starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. However, the pivotal roles were played by Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor. The film became a blockbuster at the box office.

Following this film, it was revealed that the makers initially approached Juhi Chawla for the lead role, but she declined. Surprisingly, Juhi, who was usually the leading actress, chose to play a supporting role in the film. This decision had a significant impact on her career.

After 'Dil To Pagal Hai,' Juhi's subsequent films did not perform well, including movies like 'Sat Rang Ke Sapne' and 'Duplicate.' Juhi's career took a downturn, and the movies she chose did not resonate with the audience. On the other hand, 'Dil To Pagal Hai' proved to be a super hit.

Juhi's refusal had a positive effect on Madhuri, but the same cannot be said for Karisma Kapoor. Karishma overshadowed Madhuri in 'Dil To Pagal Hai' with her acting and dancing skills. She received more praise for her performance than the lead heroine.

Karishma's career soared after this, with hits like 'Biwi No. 1,' 'Haseena Maan Jaayegi,' and 'Hum Saath Saath Hain.' Audiences showered her with accolades, while Juhi seemed to disappear from the limelight.

In conclusion, the 90s in Indian cinema was a decade of dynamic performances, where each actress contributed uniquely. The decision-making process and the outcomes for Juhi, Madhuri, and Karisma during the release of 'Dil To Pagal Hai' had a lasting impact on their respective careers.
