Kareena Kapoor's 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' Rejection Revealed
3 May
Summary
- Kareena Kapoor Khan allegedly demanded Shah Rukh Khan's fee for the role.
- Preity Zinta stepped in after Kareena Kapoor Khan exited the project.
- Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karan Johar had a temporary fallout over the film.
The iconic Bollywood film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' is once again in the spotlight due to a resurfaced clip from Koffee With Karan. The film, directed by Nikkhil Advani and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Preity Zinta, was initially offered to Kareena Kapoor Khan. Reports suggest that Kapoor Khan's demand for a salary on par with Shah Rukh Khan led to her departure from the project.
Preity Zinta ultimately took on the role of Naina, a decision Saif Ali Khan later praised, stating he couldn't imagine anyone else in the part. Zinta herself described the situation metaphorically, comparing it to trying on jeans, suggesting the role belonged to whoever ultimately fit it. The reported disagreement between Kapoor Khan and producer Karan Johar caused a temporary fallout, though they later reconciled and collaborated on other projects.
