Karisma Kapoor ages like fine wine and she celebrates her 47th birthday today!
Kapoor has given us a number of big hits like Coolie No. 1, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and more. But she had also rejected 6 major Bollywood films!
1. Barsaat (1995)
Karisma Kapoor was cast as the female lead for Barsaat while Shekhar Kapur was made the director. However, Karisma had left the cast for unknown reasons and Shekhar was replaced by Rajkumar Santoshi as the director. Twinkle Khanna had then come on board as the lead actress.
2. Ishq (1997)
Kajol and Juhi Chawla gave us memorable characters in this movie but it was Karisma Kapoor who was supposed to be cast as one of the female leads. As per THIS report, Karisma apparently was to play Madhu Saxena, the role Juhi later on bagged.
3. Judaai (1997)
The late Sridevi and Urmila Matondkar’s performances were the highlights of this film. However, Urmila was not the first choice for this film. Yes, it was Karisma who was chosen to play that role first but she eventually declined.
