Speaking about some fond memories from the sets, Juhi shared, "Salil and Ria played a very important role in making our stay at Umbergaon a memorable one while shooting for Shani. We used to actually call Ria Annapurna,as Salil and she would cook food for the entire unit. They are both fabulous cooks and Salil would bring us some amazing mutton and chicken dishes which were relished by the whole set. So our food related memories while shooting for Shani are the most cherished ones by us all."

During this lockdown phase, Juhi has ensured that no one in her family misses going to a salon. She created a makeshift salon at home during the lockdown period.

She had posted a video in which she is seen giving her father a haircut, doing mother's eyebrows and pampering her daughter with a foot massage.

"Juhi's Salon Is Now Open!!!The lock down has reminded us that necessity truly is the mother of invention! So while we are all doing our chores, cooking, cleaning on our own, there are other day to day challenges as well. One such is grooming as all salons are shut and so how does one get a haircut? Well Juhi's Salon opened up at our house as I attended to my lovely lock down partners and provided them the services they needed which included hair cuts, threading, massages, etc. And oh getting paid for the work was all the more fun!!!!, she captioned the video.

There are also many benefits including getting rid of acne, black spots, smoother skin as well as helping decrease stretch marks. Try this out at home and let me know how it goes," Juhi had posted on Instagram.
