Celebs are not perfect ppl. All of them are insecure & some lie too but Kareena is called honest(but stupid)by many in the forum.There are many films she says that she has rejected but it was denied by the makers. There was one SLB interview in which he had mentioned Kareena.Here it is:
Sanjay Leela Bhansali (director of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam): he screentested her for the role of Parvati in his upcoming film Devdas, and then cast Aishwarya Rai instead. Kareena has publicly stated that "Sanjay Bhansali is a confused director. He is a person who does not stand by his word. He doesn't have any morals and principles in life." (print interview with Umesh Jivnani) In the July 2002 issue of Filmfare Magazine, Bhansali confirms the tale: "She came to my house with Neeta Lulla and said she wanted to work with me... I told her that I hadn't seen her work and that before casting her, I needed to see what she was capable of. We fixed up a photo-shoot with the right costumes. Since Babitaji and Karisma Kapoor were also at the shoot, I made it clear to all of them that the shoot wasn't a confirmation that I would cast Kareena. They were okay with that at the time. After going through the photographs, I told Kareena that I felt Aishwarya Rai was fabulous and perfect for Paro; she has the aristocratic looks I required. Kareena didn't say a word then but some days later I found her lashing out at me in print. She accused me of backing out after having given her the signing amount and contract. Believe me, this is not true. She also said I didn't know how to make films. Kareena is a fabulous girl who's doing very well in life. However, I'd like to inform her that I do know how to make films. She has tried to tell me that she was misquoted but I'd like her to know that I've heard those tapes. Recently, we met at Sikander Kher's birthday party. I told her that if I have a suitable role for her, I'll cast her. Till then, I'll brush up on film-making." (Filmfare, July 2002)
