After 'Gulaab Gang', thought I was best villain ever: Juhi Chawla

New Delhi: Juhi Chawla, who won hearts in the film industry with bubbly, girl-next-door roles during the 1990s, said she thought of herself as "the best villain ever", but found it strange that movie makers did not approach her for more roles like that of of the antagonist she played in "Gulaab Gang".

"After 'Gulaab Gang', I thought I was the best villain ever! I had such a fun time portraying that role, but strangely not many people came after that to say let's do something black like that," Juhi said.

Juhi tried to give a twist to her work portfolio by essaying a negative role as a corrupt and cold politician in "Gulaab Gang".

Her work was widely appreciated and her performance earned rave reviews with many critics calling it her career's best performance.

The 50-year-old says she is playing a character close to it in a yet-untitled film where she is essaying a dark grey character.

"I'm quite enjoying it," said the actress, who is experimenting with her work and also ventured into the digital world with the web series "The Test Case".

"Web series is an interesting space. The shooting for the series was just like a film shooting and in this I just had a guest appearance, a very strong personality.

It is the "not bound by convention" factor which attracts her to the medium, said Juhi.
