I couldn’t do KKHT because I was shooting for Aa Ab Laut Chalein. I was on a 40-day schedule in the US. It was Chintu uncle’s first film as a director. I’m a fan of his, and I looked up to him. I just couldn’t mess things up with him… He narrated the story (of K3G) and told me about the character, but we didn’t end up working together. We almost worked on another movie, but that too didn’t take off. He narrates stories of most of his films to me… he is family. - Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya could easily have pulled off a typical Punjabi kudi. Just watch Sarbjit for proof.

Each thread has been documented with a source. For K3G, this news came straight from the horse's mouth, the horse being Karan. Darr, Happy New Year, Jawan, etc. all have sources as well.

The only one without a source is Fighter and I admitted that in the first post that I have only read rumors about her consideration and have no actual proof. Every other film, she was confirmed as a first choice.

Being the first or second choice for a role doesn't really make it a glorious thing. Roles/Movies aren't usually penned with a specific actor in mind most of the time. Instead, when a script is ready to be made into a movie, it is sent to various actors, and then it's pretty much a game of luck or unfortunate events for whoever ends up with the role based on availability and timing.
