Ameesha Patel who kickstarted her career with ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ had got a lot of fame overnight, just like Hrithik. The actress started starring in many big movies there on, apart from sharing screen space with actors like Salman Khan and Sunny Deol. In a recent interview, Ameesa has revealed that she was offered ‘Chalte Chalte‘ by Shah Rukh Khan.
The actress said in a chart with YouTube channel BeautybyBiE that she declined the role unknowingly. She said, “In my profession, I missed out on some films. Some became colossal successes, and some failed. I didn’t do Shah Rukh Khan’s Chalte Chalte because I wasn’t aware it was offered to me. My secretary didn’t inform me that this film was in the offering. When the film was about to release and Shah Rukh was dubbing for it, he took me into the dubbing studio and showed me a few edits. He said, ‘Come, I will show you edits of the film that you declined.’ I replied, ‘Shah Rukh, what have I declined?’ and he said, ‘This.’”
The film eventually starred Rani Mukerji in the lead role. ‘Chalte Chalte’ initially starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and few portions of the movie were also shot. But reportedly, Salman had come on the sets of the movie and created a huge ruckus. Thus, the makers had also removed Aishwarya from the movie.
Meanwhile, Ameesha was last seen inBridge 2‘ which broke all the box office records.
