WHAT! Kareena Kapoor Was Happy To Quit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai; Actress Said ‘Film Was Made For Hrithik, His Dad Spent Five Hours On Every Frame, Close-Up Of His’
Kareena Kapoor once said she is glad that she opted out of Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’
Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan made her acting debut opposite Abhishek Bachchan in the 2000 released film ‘Refugee’. As many know she was supposed to enter the industry with Rakesh Roshan’s romantic comedy ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ alongside Hrithik Roshan, however, things did not work and she got replaced by Ameesha Patel. But do you know Bebo is glad that she did not do this movie? Yes, you read that right!
In an old interview with Filmfare, Kareena expressed the same and stated she would have definitely become a star if she hadn’t quit the project, but she wanted to be known as an ‘actress’ instead. The Jab We Met actress mentioned that this film was made only for Hrithik and that his dad Rakesh spent five hours on every frame and close-up of his, whereas she feels not even five seconds was spent on Ameesha. Kareena was quoted as saying, “The film was made for Hrithik. His dad spent five hours on every frame and close-up of his, whereas not even five seconds were spent on Ameesha. There are portions in the film where she has pimples and under-eye bags on her face. She just doesn’t look beautiful, but every shot of his was a dream.”
She added, “If I were in the film, I would have definitely got a better deal, but I still feel that the attention would have divided between us. So, I’m glad I didn’t do the film. I’m glad that even after I left the movie there is no problem between Hrithik and me. He’s still a friend, I’m very happy for his success and we are even working in two films together.” ALSO READ: DID YOU KNOW Rakesh Roshan Had To Mortgage House, Car To Launch Son Hrithik Roshan In Rs 3 Crore Made Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai?
