Recalling Shah Rukh's transition from Delhi to Mumbai without a permanent residence, Juhi remarked, «I remember Shah Rukh in those days didn't have a home in Mumbai.

«He also did 2-3 shifts then. He was very driven,» Juhi added, highlighting Shah Rukh's relentless dedication to his craft amidst multiple film projects.
During this period, Shah Rukh owned a black Gypsy, a symbol of his aspirations and early success in the industry. However, Juhi recounted a heartbreaking incident when the vehicle was repossessed due to financial constraints.
