It really blows my mind. In HDDCS Aish's beauty plays such an integral role. SLB's heroines are all about looks (minus Black). No amount of make up would've made kajol look like what his heroines looked like. I have a hard time believing Kajol was meant to play any of those roles. Maybe KANK. But even then Abhi and Kajol would've been a weird combo. Or was she meant for PZ's role?
If Manisha Koirala can do Khamoshi, Rani Mukerji can do Black, Sonam Kapoor can do Saawariya, then I'm sure Kajol could EASILY pull off Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas. ALthough, yes she is not considered a super model like Aishwarya Rai.

True.with Aish the thing would have been all about how pretty she is. While the first thingveer thought about zara was that its not like she was the prettiest girl he ever saw but there was something in her that he couldnt take his eyes off her.
But wait a minute. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with beauty? LOL 😳

Well maybe you should watch more of his interviews instead of "thinking".

Exactly!

...Not saying Kajol hasn't done roles where heroes weren't immediately smitten by her beauty. But to me she is no where near SLB's other ladies when it comes to looks. So for a man who chooses very beautiful girls and works so hard to make them look perfect, I have a hard time imagining it was Kajol he wanted. Especially when this man is openly known for having pretty muses.
Your news can be right. Maybe he did want Kajol. I must've missed the interview where he discussed it. All I know is when Kajol was asked if she would like to be a SLB heroine she said "Yeah. Sure. No two ways about it but I don’t know if I will have the right presence of mind or perfection of posture to be a Sanjay Leela Bhansali heroine." She chose her words wisely. I feel like she is just trying to say she simply doesn't look like a SLB heroine.
Yes, you did. And honestly even I was surprised because earlier I did find it hard to think SLB wanted Kajol in HDDCS/Devdas, but he DOES talk about it, in a VIDEO interview. If I find it I will post it.
