A reference to the time when Kareena Kapoor Khan said she wasn’t sorry she left the Hrithik Roshan movie Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. In the June 2000 film Refugee, co-starring Abhishek Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan made her debut in Bollywood. She got her big break in the January release of the same year, in the Hrithik Roshan film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
Ameesha was offered the part of leading lady before she turned it down. The former, though, claims to have second thoughts about dropping out of the film for her own reasons. Find out why she didn’t choose to launch her career alongside Hrithik Roshan in this article.
Due to its immense popularity, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai has become a cultural symbol. After the success of their first film together, Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel were reunited for Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage. The cinema industry was rocked by the romantic musical drama of the time. Kareena Kapoor Khan discussed her departure from the project in a retro Filmfare interview. The actress insists she would have become famous had she been cast in the film, but she is now grateful she did not.
Opening up about special focus and attention
She elaborated on her claim by saying that Hrithik Roshan was specifically cast in the film. “His dad spent five hours on every frame and close-up of his,” she stated, “whereas not even five seconds were spent on Ameesha.” She said, “There are photos of Ameesha Patel where you can see the zits and bags under her eyes.” She said that Ameesha did not seem attractive in the film, but that Hrithik was flawless in every scene.
Kareena Kapoor Khan has said that she believes the movie’s focus should be shared between the two leads since she believes she would have gotten a better deal if she had been in the picture. That’s why she’s relieved she didn’t take the role in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. She’s relieved that her friendship with Hrithik hasn’t suffered as a result. Kareena Kapoor Khan’s next professional project is The Crew, in which she co-stars alongside Tabu and Kriti Sanon. Rhea Kapoor and her sister Ekta Kapoor are the film’s producers. She also owns ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’ by Sujoy Ghosh. She also has Hansal Mehta’s untitled project, on which she took the role of producer, in the works.
