Personal life
Juhi is daughter of actor Raj Babbar and theatre personality Nadira Babbar. She has one full brother, Arya Babbar, who is also an actor, and one half-brother, the actor Prateik Babbar, who is the son of Raj Babbar by his second wife Smita Patil. Through her mother Nadira Babbar (born Nadira Zaheer), Juhi is the granddaughter of the communist activist Sajjad Zaheer and first cousin of Pankhuri Zaheer, an activist working at JNU as a close associate of Kanhaiya Kumar, who was arrested and charged with sedition in February 2016.
Juhi's first husband was Bejoy Nambiar, a screenplay writer, whom she married on 27 June 2007, after a two-year courtship.[2][3] The couple divorced in January 2009.[4] She then fell in love with the TV actor Anup Soni, whom she met while both of them were working in a play produced by Juhi's mother Nadira Babbar. Soni was at that time married to Ritu and was the father of two daughters by her. On 14 March 2011, after his divorce was finalized, Juhi and Anup Soni were married[5] in a quiet ceremony attended by family and close friends only. Juhi and Soni now have a son named Imaan, born in October 2012.[6]
