There was a time when Jugal was just as popular as Shah Rukh Khan among young female fans. But instead of staying in the spotlight, he chose a peaceful life. In 2014, he married his longtime partner Jasmine Dhillon and later moved to the United States, where he now lives with his wife and son.
Although he is no longer active in Bollywood, Jugal stays connected with fans through social media. His appearance has changed over the years, but for many people, he will always be remembered as the charming actor who once ruled teenage hearts.
