Did You Know? Kareena Kapoor Khan REJECTED ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ Alongside Hrithik Roshan For 'THIS' Reason!

In the June 2000 film Refugee, Kareena Kapoor Khan made her Bollywood debut alongside Abhishek Bachchan.

She was given the leading lady part, but she declined it, and Ameesha accepted the offer. The former, though, still feels bad about leaving the movie for her own good reasons.

A lot of people still adore ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ since it was such a great success. In their film debut, Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel captivated millions of hearts. In ‘Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage’, they reunited. Back then, the romance musical drama made waves in the movie business. In a vintage interview with Filmfare, Kareena Kapoor Khan discussed leaving the project. The actress thinks that she would have become a star in the movie, but she is pleased she isn't because she wants to be recognised as an actress.

She went on to say that the movie was designed specifically for Hrithik Roshan to make her point. She stated: “His dad spent five hours on every frame and close-up of his, whereas not even five seconds were spent on Ameesha.” She further said, "There are frames where Ameesha Patel’s pimples and under-eye bags on her face are visible.” She thought Ameesha wasn't attractive, but Hrithik looked perfect in every picture.

Despite claiming that she would have had a better deal if she had been in the movie, Kareena Kapoor Khan feels that both should have equal prominence in the film. She is therefore happy that she declined the offer from ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’. She is relieved that her friendship with Hrithik was unaffected by this as well.
