Here list any roles that you know of that actors/actresses passed up that later on began famous and well known.

One I know is Kareena was orignally asked to play Priyanka's role in Dostana, but had date problems and couldn't take it on.

Aish was the original choice for Dostana (see link below and article which confirms that):

I have not seen one article where Kareena was even considered or approached.

Also, Aish was the original choice for lots of other films: Waqt, Namastey London, Mission Kashmir, Parineeta, Krish, Corporate, Game, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Raja Hindustani, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Asoka, Bombay, Bluffmaster, Yaadein, etc.

Most of these films were rejected because she had date hassles. So many films Aish declined which went to other actresses. But, I guess it was destiny.

And Preity was never considered for Munnabhai MBBS. It was Aish (read this article).
