If the idea ultimately proves to be a hit, turning down a film can quickly become one of a celebrity’s worst nightmares. While the film’s greatness cannot be foreseen ahead of time, there have been times when our favourite Bollywood celebrities have been quick to pass judgement after reading the script, which turned out to be one of the year’s biggest blockbusters. While it is difficult to predict whether a film will succeed or fail, actress Juhi Chawla admitted to making decisions, some of which turned out to be excellent and others to be terrible. As a result, we’ve compiled a shocking list of films in which the seasoned actress has refused to star.
Dil To Pagal Hai – Karishma Kapoor’s Role
The revelation came in 2017 when the actress was summoned to participate on a reality show, where she admitted to refusing the role of Nisha in the film Dil Toh Pagal Hai during a conversation. When questioned if she was remorseful for her decision, the actress said yes, she is remorseful for saying no to such an extraordinary role, and she also held herself accountable for making Karisma and Raveena superstars with a ‘wink’ emoji.
According to rumours, the character of Nisha was offered to a number of other actresses before being cast on Karishma Kapoor. Bollywood actresses Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon, and Manisha Koirala were all approached about playing the part, but they all declined. It appears that fate was on Karishma Kapoor’s side, as she was ultimately cast in the role that earned her the National Award. And as for Juhi, she declined the offer after hearing that Madhuri Dixit was being considered for the major role.
Vastav – Namrata Shirodkar’s role
Things get bad following a deadly mishap with one of the clients at a food cart managed by a simpleton named Raghu. This film was rated 8 on IMDb and has a wonderful tale that is still remembered by fans thanks to the rugged looks adopted by its lead actor, Sanjay Dutt. The actress Namrata Shirodkar plays Raghu’s (Sanjay Dutt) wife, a fantastic part that was first offered to actress Juhi Chawla. However, the actress turned down the part for unclear reasons.
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa – Suchitra Krishnamurthy’s Role
Despite the fact that the actress had a cameo appearance in the film, Juhi Chawla might have played Anna if she had accepted. According to some sources, Juhi Chawla dropped out at the last minute, and the reason for her decision remains a mystery.
Raja Hindustani – Karishma Kapoor’s Role
Karishma Kapoor’s actress Juhi Chawla has been nothing short of an angel! Juhi may have regretted saying “No” to such gems after rejecting other films that were eventually picked up by Karishma. Due to the popularity of Aamir and Juhi’s Jodi at the time, the Bollywood film Raja Hindustani was initially given to Juhi. Despite the fact that they became a lovable 90s couple, the actress was unable to accept the job due to certain date concerns. Karishma has been nominated for the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in this film.
Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar – Tabu’s Role
The picture was originally given to Tabu, who agreed to play the character, but owing to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to participate. Following that, the producers cast Juhi Chawla opposite Manoj Bajpayee, but when the sets were built and Muharat was completed, the actress dropped out at the eleventh hour, and Tabu was cast in the part. According to some stories, the actress pulled out after receiving friendly counsel from a well-wisher who warned her that the picture will bomb at the box office, putting her career in jeopardy. Juhi couldn’t help but leave at the last possible moment after this.
Raja Babu – Karishma Kapoor’s role
The part of a high-profile city girl, Madhubala, was originally offered to Juhi Chawla, but turned it down for unclear reasons. While Karishma Kapoor nailed her role in this comedic melodrama, Juhi Chawla could have snatched it.
Virasat – Tabu’s role
Another film that Tabu picked up after Juhi turned it down! This film, rated 7.5 on IMDb, starring Anil Kapoor as Shakti Thakur, who is forced to take over his father’s legacy after his town is torn apart by a feudal battle. The actress Juhi Chawla was meant to play Gehna in Priyadarshan’s outstanding work, but she declined, and the role was eventually given to Tabu.
Judaai
While we still don’t know exactly role the latter Juhi Chawla was offered, people were taken aback when she declined to appear in the cult film. While the reason for this remains unknown, if she had accepted to perform the character, the film would have taken on a whole other level.
Biwi no 1 – Karishma Kapoor’s Role
It tells the story of a plain housewife who is compelled to undergo a makeover after her husband left her for Rupali, a stunning model. Pooja surprises her husband with her innovative ways of teaching him a life lesson by taking matters into her own hands. The wonderful role of Pooja was first offered to actress Juhi Chawla, who turned it down and instead gave it to Karishma, who received rave reviews for her performance in the film.
