Actress's 'Biggest Regret': Missing Cult Classic Film
27 Jan
Summary
- Isha Koppikar missed a role in the cult film Dil Chahta Hai.
- She declined the offer due to a prior commitment to 'Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat'.
- Koppikar considers this missed opportunity her life's biggest regret.
Actress Isha Koppikar, known for her roles in films like 'Krishna Cottage' and songs like 'Khallas,' recently shared a significant career regret. She confessed that missing out on a role in Farhan Akhtar's 2001 film 'Dil Chahta Hai' is her biggest regret.
Koppikar had to decline the offer for 'Dil Chahta Hai' because she had already signed 'Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat.' At the time, she felt ethically bound by her commitment and lacked guidance to reconsider her decision.
She explained that while 'Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat' did not become a hit, 'Dil Chahta Hai' went on to achieve cult status. Koppikar believes she should have found a way to do 'Dil Chahta Hai,' possibly by renegotiating her prior commitment.
The role she reportedly turned down was that of Pooja, Saif Ali Khan's love interest, which was eventually played by Sonali Kulkarni. Both films were released in 2001, with 'Dil Chahta Hai' redefining urban cinema.
