He's shy, reclusive and reluctant to make his presence felt. But Jugal Hansraj is finally coming out of his shell again,to play an important supporting role in the
Madhuri-centric Yashraj film Aaja Nachle.
Says Jugal, "Aditya Chopra and I have been friends for many years. He's someone who looks out for me. And yes, he had re-launched me as a leading man in
Mohabbatein.
After that I was seen as Preity's friend and confidante in Siddharth Anand's Salaam Namaste, again for Adi. In between I just did one film for the
Rajshris. Now it's Aaja Nachle."
Jugal had great fun doing Aaja Nachle. "I was surrounded by all these wonderful actors, from Madhuri Dixit to Konkona to Raghuvir Yadav to Ranveer Shorey, it was like
attending acting school. But so much fun!
I'd rather do a supporting role in something like Aaja Nachle than a lead in some nondescript film...Otherwise I keep busy
with my dad's business. No television for me. I tried it once but it wasn't my cup of tea."
Jugal is still single. "At 35 I still feel like a child. People still remember me as that kid in Masoom."
