Samantha To Sonam Kapoor: 5 Actresses Who Refused To Work With Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of Bollywood has a global fan base that remains as loyal as ever. He is not only loved for his acting, but also his charm, humble nature and witty humour. It's a dream for many people to get a chance to work with him or even meet him once in their lifetime. Some get lucky, most people don't. However, did you know that there have been times when some Indian actresses refused to work with King Khan? Well, let's check out the list and the reason why they turned down the offers.

Actresses who refused to work with Shah Rukh Khan:

1. Karisma Kapoor

The timeless beauty, Karisma Kapoor, surprisingly declined not just one but two movies opposite Shah Rukh Khan. She was initially offered the role of Tina in Karan Johar's classic 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' which eventually went to Rani Mukerji. Additionally, she turned down 'Asoka,' which led to her sister Kareena Kapoor taking on the role.

2. Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Reports surfaced that Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known for her role in 'The Family Man 2,' was offered a role in Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Jawan.' According to Bollywood Life, she was the first choice before Nayanthara. However, Samantha turned down the offer as she was focused on her family plans with Naga Chaitanya at that time.

It’s the other way around. Where would it take me? Can it take me a notch higher than where I already am? It cannot! What can it give me that I have already not achieved? I can’t see a single thing... if you can tell me."
