According to reports, Jugal did not disappear from the screen. He got busy shooting those films, which did not work for his luck. At that time, directors used to have a competition to get Jugal signed as he was giving superhits back-to-back.

Out of 40 films, only a few films could make headlines. Some of the films were stopped midway, some were stopped at the last stage and some could not even be started.
Some of his films were released but did not perform well at the box office and then he started disappearing from Bollywood, although every year or two he is seen in some film or the other. The actor was seen in the second season of the drama series Mismatched.
Talking about his personal life, Hansraj married Jasmine Dhillon, an NRI investment banker from New York. The couple has a son named Sidak.
