Actually I am glad she did not do Devdas, Ram Leela.. whoever did AIsh and Deepu did full justice to their roles... 😊

She lost a ton of roles, where would she be now If she hadn't rejected or walked out these roles?

Kareena Kapoor Khan: The Walkout Queen

DNA
Jul 16, 2015



If there is one trait Kareena Kapoor Khan shares with her husband Saif Ali Khan, it is indecisiveness. Both are known to say yes to projects and then back out unceremoniously leaving filmmakers in the lurch. Barely had Saif walked out of Reema Kagti's Mr Chaloo, did Ms Khan do her own udan-choo number with Rajkumar Gupta and his film Section 84.
Here's looking at some of her walkouts...
Shuddhi
She was attached to the Karan Johar production directed by Shakun Batra. And so was Hrithik Roshan. And then he wasn't. And she opted out, too. She told After Hrs as much, "When Hrithik didn't do the film, I don't think it just made sense. Because that film I think was all about Hrithik and Kareena coming back."
Bajirao Mastani
Ten years ago, Kareena and Salman were finalised to play Mastani and Bajirao. But then, Kareena decided to do Priyadarshan's Kyon Ki... with Salman on the sly, thereby destroying the uniqueness of the jodi. Heartbroken and betrayed, Sanjay Leela Bhansali set aside the project for 10 years. Kareena, of course, moved on.
Dil Dhadakne Do
She was a little rueful when talking about not doing DDD when she said, "It's my loss because I love Zoya, but couldn't be part of her film. I am dying to work with her. Inshallah, this isn't the last film she is going to make, and it's not the last film that I'm not able to do. Aage bhi bahut padi hai zindagi. Whenever she has a role for me, I'll definitely do it."
Devdas
Sanjay Bhansali wanted Kareena to play Paro. They met, discussed costumes. But Kareena's mother felt she was too young to take up the role.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela
The sets were ready. The costumes were ready. Kareena was supposed to start shooting with Sanjay Bhansali. But her well-wishers advised her at the last minute to say no. "Why give 160 days to one film when you can do three films during that period?" Think of what would have happened to Meena Kumari in Pakeezah if she had thought that way.
Kaho Na...Pyar Hai
Kareena's debut film would have been Hrithik Roshan's home production. After shooting with him for ten days, Bebo had creative differences' with Rakesh Roshan, who as it turns out was battling her mom Babita. She simply walked off... and in strode Ameesha Patel. Kareena went on make her debut with JP Dutta's Refugee opposite Abhishek Bachchan.

No. The reason SLB actually gave was he wanted Salman and Kareena, a fresh pair but she went and signed Kyon Ki., which had the same pair...and now the jodi was no longer fresh.

It could be he screentested both and chose Aishwarya for obvious reasons...dancing, grace etc.

No. That was his reason for BM which I've already mentioned in another thread. I'm talking about Devdas here.

I can't remember if it was Kareena or SLB who talked about this in an interview. What I know is he was really fond of Kareena, but he wouldn't consider anyone other than Madhuri for the role of Chandramukhi. Therefore he wouldn't take her for Paro's role as he didn't like the fact that Paro would look considerably younger than Chandramukhi.
