Aish's 7 Biggest Career Mistakes

1) Raja Hindustani (1996)

Aishwarya Rai was the first choice for the role of Aarti, which was later played by Karishma Kapoor. The film turned out to be a superhit and the Aamir Khan, Karishma Kapoor Pair' is still fondly remembered by many.

2) Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

In this mega blockbuster movie, which was also Karan Johar's Directorial Debut, Rani Mukherjee's role of Tina was initially offered to Aishwarya, but she turned it down.

3) Asoka (2001)

Kareena Kapoor's role in Asoka as Kaurwaki was loved and appreciated by the audiences. This role too, was turned down by Aishwarya. The film, as we all know, was a success.

4) Munnabhai MBBS (2003)

Aishwarya was again, the first choice to play Munnabhai's muse. Coincidentally, Shahrukh Khan was supposed to play Sanjay Dutt's character in the film. In any case, the film turned out to be one of the finest comedy movies in Bollywood, spawning a franchise of its own.

5) Corporate (2006)

Madhur Bhandarkar's take on the malpractices and power-wars that take place in some corporate workplaces was a critically acclaimed hit, and it is rumoured that Aishwarya Bachchan was the first choice to play the lead role in this flick.

6) Bhool Bhulaiya (2007)

Vidya Balan's haunting performance in this thriller is remembered by many. Why Aishwarya turned down this opportunity, no one knows!

7) Badlapur (2015)

It's said that Aishwarya Rai liked the script, but yet chose to make her comeback in Sanjay Gupta's "Jazbaa". It seems that she didn't want to star alongside Varun Dhawan, who is still considered a newbie by many.

In closing, we'd like to say that even though the films that she rejected turned out to be hits, that doesn't take away the fact that she is a superstar, in the truest sense of the word. We love you, Aishwarya!

I'm actually glad she didn't do kkhh and rh.

Am glad she refused a few of these films cos the ones eventually chosen played the roles really well..Corporate in particular- i thought Bipasha was fab in that film..

They were just her choice not mistakes, and maybe she did turned out these movies for something better?

LMAO...ash in badlapur alongside varun ??😆thank god she didn't do it ...yami is perfect for varun and the rest of the cast...

Ash looks good but let's face it .. she can hardly act. Apart from HDDCS, I have never been able to appreciate her acting skills. So, maybe it is a good idea for her to just stay away from films and just focus on modelling.

Yeah as if she could pull a Raja Hindustani or Bhoolbhulaiya...😆

Aishwarya was also offered the lead role in Chalte Chalte but turned that down and was replaced by Rani Mukherjee. Aswell as this she was also offered Katrina's role in Namastey London and Priyanka's role in Dostana.

I remember reading somewhere that Aishwarya also refused to work opposite Will Smith in the Hollywood film Hitch.
