NOT Kareena Kapoor, 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' Actress Bhumika Chawla Was The Original Choice For Geet In 'Jab We Met'
Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla's reunion after 20 years has generated a lot of media attention. The pair's final appearance was in the cult favourite love drama 'Tere Naam.' Their most recent collaboration, 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,' premiered last Friday in theatres. But did you know? Additionally, the actress was slated to play Shahid Kapoor's leading lady in 'Jab We Met.' She speaks out about Kareena Kapoor Khan taking her place.
Imtiaz Ali directed the love story comedy 'Jab We Met,' which was released in 2007. It was highly appreciated by the general public, and its song quickly became a hit on the charts. Many people are unaware that the movie's original working title was 'Train' and it starred Bobby Deol and Bhumika. (Also Read: Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi ki Jaan: AMAZING!

Bhumika Chawla recently expressed her displeasure at being replaced by Kareena Kapoor Khan in a conversation with a popular news portal. Bhumika Said, “The only time I felt bad was when I signed Jab We Met and it didn’t happen. I was the first one, Bobby (Deol) and me, when it was called Train. Then, it was Shahid (Kapoor) and me, and then Shahid and Ayesha (Takia), and then Shahid and Kareena (Kapoor). That’s how things happened but it’s okay. I only felt bad once and then never again because I just moved on. I don’t think much about it. I had signed up for 'Munna Bhai MBBS' but it didn’t happen. 'Kannathil Muthamittal' with Mani (Ratnam) sir didn’t happen.”
After 'Tere Naam's success, Bhumika Chawla continued, she received offers for other films, but regrettably none of them were ultimately produced with her.

Bhumika Revealed, “I got many offers. I’ve always been selective and choosy about what I do. I had signed a big film after it, and unfortunately, the production changed, then the hero changed, and the film title changed. Then the heroine was changed too. But if I would have done that it would have been different. So they say, jo likha hai, woh hota hai. I waited for that film for one year and didn’t sign any other film. Later, I signed another film which didn’t happen too. Baki jo ki gayi woh shayad utni chali nahi ya chali, it’s just like gambling, you don’t know when and which movie will work.”
