One of Bollywood’s best actresses is unquestionably the star of the industry, Kareena Kapoor Khan. The 37-year-old diva has several successful movies to her name, including 3 Idiots, Bodyguard, Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and many others. She was an exceptionally popular actress who continued to be well-known even after getting married. But did you know that Kareena Kapoor Khan turned down several high-budget projects that ended up being enormous economic successes?
Can you identify the films? These blockbusters made a tonne of money at the box office after their release. Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest hit to date and Ranveer Singh’s one of the biggest films in the business were 2 of those movies which she rejected. The actress had turned down both projects because of scheduling conflicts, but we don’t believe the actress now regrets her choice.
Here’s a list of movies Kareena Kapoor Khan rejected:
Kaho Na Pyaar Hai
Bebo abandoned the movie after she was slated to make her acting debut alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Kareena Kapoor Khan wasted every chance to collaborate with Bhansali on this legendary movie, which was fine with Bebo at first.
Queen
Yes, Kareena was given the film first which would have changed Kangana Ranaut’s career.
Kal No Naa
Kareena was initially given the role of Naina by Karan Johar, but she turned it down for a large pay and was replaced by Preity Zinta.
Ram Leela
Kareena even participated in some of the filmings for this Sanjay Leela Bhansali production, but she eventually left. Ram Leela brought Deepika Padukone her first Filmfare Best Actress nomination and made Ranveer Singh one of the biggest stars in the business.
Dil Dhadakne Do
Priyanka and Ranveer Singh’s parts were originally going to be played by Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor, but that plan fell through.
Black
Kareena Kapoor Khan turned down the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Black, and Rani Mukerji rose to fame with it.
Chennai Express
In Chennai Express, Deepika Padukone won hearts as Meena. But Bebo could have been the star if she had said yes.
Shuddhi
Due to the film’s delays, Bebo quit Shuddhi, and it appears that she made the right choice.
