Anushka Sharma Wasn’t the First Pick! Guess Which Actress Was Set to Woo Shah Rukh Khan?

Arre bhaiyon aur behnon, Khabree Kiran aa gayi hain ek aur masaledaar khabar ke saath! Sit back, grab your chai, and let’s dive into the world of Bollywood with a twist you didn’t see coming!

Did you know that before Anushka Sharma made her grand entry into Bollywood with "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi," Sonam Kapoor was also in the running? Haan bhai, Sonam Kapoor! Let’s dig into this juicy tale, shall we? 😏

Picture this: It’s 2008. Anushka Sharma is making her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in a movie directed by Aditya Chopra. But wait, hold your horses! Sonam Kapoor, fresh off her debut in "Saawariya," was all set to give Aditya Chopra a demo of her acting chops for the same role. Baat hai interesting, na?

During the promotions of "Bewakoofiyan," our fashionista Sonam revealed that she had convinced Aditya Chopra to let her audition. But—plot twist—on the final day, Adi saab tells Sonam that they’ve got another "new girl" lined up for the audition. Oh, Sonam, how you must have felt! She tried to convince Aditya, saying she was also a “new girl.” But alas, Bollywood ki duniya is ruthless. When the makers found out Sonam had already signed "Delhi 6" and was playing a Delhi girl, they dropped the idea of casting her like a hot potato! 😅

Sonam candidly admitted that she and Anushka were in a race for the role, but Anushka won it. Imagine losing a role to someone who’s also just starting out. Ouch!

Anushka Sharma, on the other hand, had her own secret mission. Aditya Chopra told her to keep her debut hush-hush, not even her parents could know! Anushka said, "Everything was under wraps. No one knew about it, and Adi didn’t want anybody to know I was the lead actor. Adi said to me, you can’t tell anybody. You cannot even tell your parents.” Wah, kya secrecy thi yaar!

Destiny, as they say, had other plans. Anushka nailed the role of Taani, and her chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan was like garam chai on a cold day—perfect! This role opened doors for her, and she’s been delivering stellar performances ever since.

Kiran’s Gyan:
Arre bhai, Bollywood mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai! One day you’re auditioning for a blockbuster, and the next, you’re sidelined for signing another film. So, moral of the story? Always have a backup plan, aur thoda luck bhi zaroori hai. After all, Bollywood mein sab kuch chalta hai, bas chance milna chahiye!
