Ameesha Patel was recently seen in Gadar 2, which has become the talk of the town for its outstanding box office performance. The film directed by Anil Sharma brings back the love story of Tara Singh played by Sunny Deol and Sakina played by Ameesha. The film instantly became a box office hit and will reach the 500 crore mark in a day or two.
Ameesha has been making headlines since the release of the film with her candid interviews. She earlier revealed that she had a tumultuous connection with Gadar director Anil Sharma. Now, she has revealed another shocking detail about Kareena Kapoor and her debut movie Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
Not Ameesha but Kareena Kapoor was the first choice for Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai
Kareena was originally slated to star opposite Hrithik in the romance drama Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, but Ameesha took her place, and the actress made her acting debut alongside Hrithik in the 2001 movie. Ameesha then stated in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that Kareena was asked to leave the movie because of creative issues, just as Rakesh Roshan had told her. "Actually, she didn’t back out. From what Rakesh ji told me, he asked her to leave the film because they were having differences."
How Rakesh Roshan found Sonia in Ameesha Patel
Pinky Roshan, Hrithik's mother, got scared when Kareena left because the movie had cost crores to make, the set had been finished, and a new Sonia needed to be found in three days. She claimed that everyone was quite anxious because it was Hrithik's debut. Ameesha then revealed how Rakesh Roshan found Sonia in her by saying, "Pinky aunty told me that the day Rakesh saw me at the wedding, he did not sleep all night. He was like ‘I got my Sonia, I got my Sonia, but I hope she says yes’.”
Ameesha Patel and Kareena Kapoor Khan's work front
Ameesha Patel is right now celebrating Gadar 2's success, which will soon cross a stunning box office haul of around 500 crore rupees. Kareena Kapoor Khan, on the other hand, is preparing for her forthcoming Netflix suspense film Jaane Jaan.
