5) Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
K3G is another iconic movie that slipped out of Aishwarya’s hands. The ensemble star studded family entertainer would have been quite different, had Aish been playing Anjali Sharma opposite SRK!
Kher chodo….Kajol’s ‘Bade mazaaki ho’ is legendary as it is.
Ash had commented, “He (Karan) did come to me with K3G also but then, his script went in for a change. So the character did change. I know that for sure because I know what was narrated to me and what I saw on screen eventually. Of course, Kajol was fabulous. But that also went and I could not do it.”
6) Dostana
Well, here’s a missed opportunity! Aishwarya could have shared the screen space with hubby Abhishek Bachchan in Dostana.
Karan Johar had originally planned to rope in Ash, Abhishek and Saif Ali Khan for the comedy. However, their plans fell through.
“Through the years, we kept discussing subjects and we thought we will work on Dostana together. Then I got married. Saif was there in the film initially but after our marriage, he was like, ‘Abhishek and Aishwarya will be together in the film. So it won’t look right’. That’s how the vibe was becoming around the film but I was like, ‘The role is of the two guys’. Since that was the kind of discussion and feeling going around with the casting, I decided to step out of Dostana and didn’t do that as well,” Aishwarya revealed.
What can we say, things work in mysterious ways! We aren’t whining coz hey, ain’t nobody like our ‘Desi Girl’ Priyanka Chopra!
