Going back in time, Kareena Kapoor Khan was the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela. It finally starred Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
In an interview with the BBC Asian, Kareena stated, “I believe in destiny, and I believe that whatever is meant to be in your life will happen, through anything. All is written in the stars and everything is not written for everyone.”
Going back to the events of the year 2002, the history between Kareena and Sanjay Leela Bhansali is that for the film Devdas, Kareena was replaced by Aishwarya Rai. Kareena shared, “What he did to me was wrong. He screen-tested me for Devdas, gave me a signing amount, then took someone else. That was wrong, it hurt especially because I was at the start of my career. It’s okay, because the day he dropped me, I signed Yaadein. Sanjay hurt me. Even if I have no work, I’ll never work with him.”
She also shares her opinion of female oriented films. She says, “No, I think it has changed because I think a lot of strong women have done a lot of strong parts. they have done films that have been loved by audiences, by the masses, by film people, critics and at the box office. The lead actress like Kangana Ranaut and Vidya, like Deepika or myself, I think, I have always tried to stand for roles that have risen above just being, you know they’re in the film.”
Kareena’s last movie Crew, is has women in the lead.
