Not Kareena Kapoor, this actress was the first choice for Shahid Kapoor’s film Jab We Met, she rejected it due to..

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta won everyone’s hearts with her acting and cuteness in the 90s and 2000s. She showed her acting prowess in many blockbuster films like ‘Dil Se’, ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’, ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and ‘Veer-Zara’. Preity has shared the screen with all four Khans of the industry – Shahrukh, Salman, Aamir, and Saif Ali Khan. Although she is away from films now, her social media presence and fan following is still huge. Today we are going to tell you something that very few people know, the first choice for ‘Jab We Met’ was not Kareena but someone else.

Not Kareena Kapoor, this actress was the first choice for Jab We Met

Imtiaz Ali’s romantic film ‘Jab We Met’ is still one of the favourite films of people. But you will be surprised to know that before Kareena Kapoor, this film was offered to Preity Zinta. Imtiaz first wanted to cast Preity in the role of ‘Geet’, but Preity did not show interest in it and this film went to Kareena.

Preity Zinta rejected many big films

Preity has rejected as many big films as she has had hits in her career. If she had done these films, perhaps her film graph would have been even higher. In 2007, Hollywood actress Ali Larter was in the lead role in the film Marigold with Salman Khan. But do you know that Preity had got the offer for this film first? But for some reason, she refused to do this film.

Said no to ‘Ishqiya’ with Irrfan Khan

Vidya Balan’s powerful acting in Abhishek Chaubey’s superhit film ‘Ishqiya’ was highly appreciated by the people. But this role was first offered to Preity Zinta. She turned it down saying that she did not want to work with Irrfan Khan. Later this film was given to Vidya, and it became one of the important films of her career.

Even though Preity Zinta is away from films now, her lifestyle, cricket team Punjab Kings (PBKS) and social media activities keep her in the limelight. She lived her career on her terms and she is still the heartthrob of fans.
