Throwback: When Kareena Kapoor Khan Gave A Screen Test For Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas But Got Rejected: I Won’t Leave Him In Peace Till…

Not many know that SLB rejected Kareena Kapoor Khan for the film Devdas, post her screen test, read

Kareena Kapoor Khan aka Bebo has always been the favourite in the country; with her two mind-blowing characters ‘Poo’ and ‘Geet’, it is needless to say that how we obsess over the actress every day at every minute.

The Heroine actress is also noted for rejecting some of the mega-budget films over the years. She has turned down several projects and said a ‘no’ to some of the finest directors we know to date.

However, it’s not known to many that once Kareena Kapoor was offered a film by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Devdas, for which the actress gave a screen test too, but SLB later replaced her without informing her. The incident created a lot of misunderstandings between the two, however, later it got resolved. In an interview with Film Fare, she said, “Sanjay Bhansali has to make another Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam with me. I won’t leave him in peace till he does. I deserve it. And he knows it. Yes. I went to Sikander Kher’s birthday party. Kiron Kher who’s working in Sanjay’s Devdas said I must meet Sanjay. She dragged me to him. We hugged and became friends. I told him I was hurt because he screen-tested me for Devdas and then replaced me without my knowledge. But I’ve never ever said that he’s a bad director or that I’ll never work with him. The media just blew our differences out of proportion. You know I was like a child who wanted to be in his film. He was the first filmmaker I ever called. Anyway, Devdas is certainly not the last film he’ll make. He owes me a solo-heroine film.” as quoted by Koi Moi.
