How many films has Kajol turned down? I wonder if her presence would've helped the film from becoming a flop. 😆

^^ I remember reading an article ages back that Mani Ratnam was unhappy with Shilpa's weight so he dropped her from the song..Not sure which reason is true 😆 And did you guys know Kajol was the first choice for Dil Se? Not surprising that she rejected it though 😆

That's apparently Shilpa Shirodkar. Shilpa Shetty was scared of heights and found it dangerous. 😆

When Farah revealed the change of the shoot location of the song to SRK, she clearly specified that no compromises would be allowed. Farah told SRK that he would have to jump, prance, go down on his knees, and do everything that was expected of him at ground level. Recollecting the conversation with SRK, Farah revealed "Shah Rukh was game, promising that he'd kill it for any other actor. He was enthusiastic and super energetic, refusing to wear a safety harness and even threatening to dance on top of the engine room till I pointed out that the gushing steam would burn him. As it is, at the end of each day, we'd be covered in soot, with pieces of coal clogging our noses, ears and stuck to our hair!"
