It`s time Juhi Chawla realised that she is past her prime. She should be thankful that sections of the film industry still consider her good enough to play important movie roles.

But Juhi is demanding bound scripts, insisting on playing lead characters and seeking remuneration nearly on par with Madhuri Dixit.

Juhi has been dropped from three of the four films she was signed for. One of them is Vivek Vaswani`s Dil Vil Pyar Vyar, in which she has been replaced with Sonali Bendre.
