It is hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Aarti in "Raja Hindustani", which was played by Karishma Kapoor. But, surprisingly Aishwarya was the first choice for this role and we think she lost a great opportunity by not taking up this role.
Apparently, he was the first choice for the role of Akash in 'Dil Chahta Hai'. Later, it was played by Aamir Khan and it is one of the most loved role of all time.
Akshay Kumar would have fit the role of Milkha from the movie "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", but he turned down the role for his movies like 'Kambakkht Ishq' and 'Tees Maar Khan' in the same year. This role was finally played by Farhan Akhtar and now we think, no one could have done a better job than him.
She refused the golden opportunity of playing the main lead in 'Dirty Picture', which brought Vidya Balan into the limelight. So much so that, Vidya was the talk of the town for a long time for her flawless performance in the movie.
She was the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela', but things didn't work out and Deepika got the role. As they say, "rest is history".
She said no to the highest grosser 2013 Rohit Shetty's film 'Chennai Express' with Shah Rukh Khan.
He was the first choice for the iconic role of Raj in the film "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" but he rejected it and SRK landed the role.
He must have regretted after rejecting 'Lagaan', as it was not just a blockbuster but also made it to the Oscars.
She rejected the movie 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and all thanks to her, Rani Mukherji became the talk of the town after that role.
