11/16Kangana Ranaut rejected 'The Dirty Picture'
Vidya Balan bagged all the Best Actress Awards for her portrayal of Reshma/Silk in 2011 hit film 'The Dirty Picture'. However, the role was first not offered to Vidya Balan, but to Kangana Ranaut. We wonder how different would have the film turned out!
12/16Katrina Kaif rejected 'Barfi!'
Katrina Kaif was the first actress to be approached for the role of Shruti Ghosh Sengupta alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in Anurag Basu's 'Barfi!'. However, it was after Katrina rejected the film that Ileana D'cruz stepped in to play the character.
13/16Kareena Kapoor rejected 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela'
How different would have the chemistry been had Kareena Kapoor Khan been cast opposite Ranveer Singh in 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela'? Well, the thought itself makes us cringe, right? Deepika Padukone and Ranveer's sizzling chemistry only made the watching experience better!
14/16Kajol rejected 'Veer-Zaara'
While Shah Rukh and Kajol with their pair can create magic on screen, it was Shah Rukh and Preity Zinta starrer 'Veer-Zaara' that became the most talked about romantic film in 2004 and is still an iconic film owing to its storyline. However, it was after Kajol rejected the role that Preity stepped in to play the role of Zaara Hayat Khan in 'Veer-Zaara'.
15/16Aishwarya Rai rejected 'Raja Hindustani'
Would 'Raja Hindustani' look any different had Aishwarya Rai not rejected the film, and Karisma Kapoor had not stepped in to play the role of Aarti Sehgal? Well, Aishwarya's loss definitely turned out to be a career-changing role for Karisma.
16/16Vivek Oberoi rejected 'Hum Tum'
Would Vivek Oberoi's film career be any different had he not rejected 'Hum Tum'? Well, the film surely proved to be beneficial for Saif Ali Khan who then went on to do the film and even won a National recognition for the same.
