Ameesha Patel spills the beans on how Shah Rukh Khan questioned her choice after turning down ‘Chalte Chalte’: ‘I was clueless until post-production’ | Bollywood Buzz

Oh, Bollywood! Where stars shine bright and stories go awry. Here’s a juicy tidbit for you, straight from the melodramatic world of Hindi cinema…

Ameesha Patel’s Bollywood Oops Moment! 🎬

Guess what? Ameesha Patel, our beloved ‘Gadar’ girl, recently spilled some beans that left us all gasping! Turns out she was almost the leading lady opposite the King Khan himself in the 2003 hit Chalte Chalte. But, oops, she didn’t even know about it! 😲

Picture this: Ameesha casually runs into Shah Rukh Khan in a dubbing studio. Amidst the hustle and bustle, SRK, with his signature charm, casually mentions, "Let me show you the film you rejected." Ameesha, bewildered, responded with, "Wait, what? I never got the memo!" 😳

The twist? Director Aziz Mirza and producer Juhi Chawla had their eyes set on Ameesha. But wait for it… her trusty secretary (now ex-secretary, mind you) turned down the offer, citing scheduling issues, without whispering a word to her. Classic Bollywood drama, right?

Reflecting on this revelation, Ameesha expressed her regret and, in typical Bollywood flair, said she would’ve created a clone to grab the chance to work with SRK. Well, who wouldn’t? 🤷‍♀️

After this blunder, Ameesha took charge of her career decisions. She hinted at other missed opportunities, left to discover much later. Talk about a Bollywood plot twist!

While Chalte Chalte went on to feature Rani Mukerji and became a box office hit, Ameesha is still celebrated for her iconic roles in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha among others. So, no harm done, right? 😉

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the world of Bollywood, it seems like you need a good script, a good director, and a secretary you can actually trust! 😂 Keep your friends close and your secretaries closer, folks!
