Deepika
Padukone
may
have
risen
to
the
top
with
a
number
of
successful
films
in
her
kitty
but
the
actress
also
ended
up
losing
a
bunch
of
opportunities
where
she
could
have
been
part
of
some
super-hit
movies
as
well.
For
once,
the
actress
has
come
across
several
instances
when
she
was
offered
movies
opposite
Salman
Khan,
but
it
never
matured
into
a
good
deal
and
the
actress
ended
up
rejecting
the
chance
to
act
opposite
him.
Not
many
know
this
but
she
was
meant
to
debut
in
Bollywood
opposite
Salman
Khan
and
not
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan
in
Om
Shanti
Om.
She
told
a
leading
website
why
she
ended
up
rejecting
the
chance
to
debut
with
Salman,
"I
wasn't
ready.
I
was
too
young
and
unclear
about
which
profession
to
choose
at
that
time.
A
lot
of
people
thought
I
was
foolish
to
let
it
go,
but
I
guess
it
was
destined.
But
I
am
glad
that
I
didn't
do
the
film,
because
I
know
I
wouldn't
have
done
justice
to
it
and
our
pairing
then."
Recently
she
even
gave
an
interview
to
a
magazine
saying
Salman
and
she
are
like
star-crossed
lovers.
Elaborating
more
on
it,
Deepika
said,
"We
are
not
star-crossed
lovers,
I
meant
we
are
like
star-crossed
lovers.
I
always
use
this
line
because
I
always
feel
that
from
years
people
keep
offering
us
films
together
but
for
whatever
reason
it
never
happens.
In
reference
to
that
I
meant
we
are
star-crossed
lovers."
It
has
not
been
a
total
loss
for
the
actress,
there
have
been
times
when
she
ended
up
bagging
films
like
Ram-Leela
and
Chennai
Express
which
were
rejected
by
Kareena
Kapoor.
This
has
always
been
the
case
in
Bollywood,
one
film
gets
offered
to
an
actor,
if
it
doesn't
work
out
then
he/she
gets
replaced.
Now,
let's
take
a
look
at
8
hit
movie
roles
that
Deepika
Padukone
ended
up
rejecting...
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo
Deepika
Padukone
was
apparently
approached
by
Rajshri
films
to
act
in
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo
opposite
Salman
Khan
but
due
to
her
already
packed
schedule
with
films,
she
had
to
rejected
the
film
which
landed
in
Sonam
Kapoor's
lap.
Shuddhi
Shuddhi
was
supposed
to
see
Deepika
and
Salman
pair
for
the
first
time
in
a
Karan
Johar
production
but
Deepika
opted
out
and
chose
Bajirao
Mastani
with
Ranveer
Singh
instead.
Sultan
2017
release,
Sultan
was
also
rejected
by
Deepika,
yet
another
movie
with
Salman
Khan
in
the
lead
role.
Looks
the
damsel
is
more
than
happy
with
the
SRK
camp
and
so
is
not
opting
to
work
with
Salman.
Roy
Deepika
Padukone
who
is
doing
Tamasha
with
Ranbir
Kapoor
rejected
Roy
with
the
same
actor.
The
role
later
went
to
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
even
Arjun
Rampal
is
part
of
the
ensemble
cast
of
Roy.
Dhoom
3
Deepika
Padukone
was
apparently
offered
the
lead
role
in
Dhoom
3
which
later
went
to
Katrina
Kaif.
Guess
the
actress
doesn't
regret
this
choice
for
there
was
hardly
any
scope
for
the
leading
lady
in
the
film.
Jab
Tak
Hain
Jaan
Deepika
even
rejected
the
role
in
Jab
Tak
Hain
Jaan
which
later
went
to
Katrina
Kaif.
May
be
the
presence
of
Anushka
Sharma,
her
current
beau's
ex
may
have
been
a
strong
reason
for
backing
out.
Fast
And
Furious
Rarely
an
opportunity
comes
by,
when
an
actress
in
Bollywood
gets
an
offer
to
star
in
a
Hollywood
film.
Deepika
was
one
of
the
blessed
people
who
got
offered
a
role
in
Fast
and
Furious,
but
the
actress
rejected
the
role
in
the
movie
citing
date
issues.
Kick
Well,
the
actress
was
offered
a
lead
role
here
but
that
of
an
item
number
which
later
went
to
Nargis
Fakhri.
Deepika
felt
that
it
would
conflict
with
her
item
song
in
Happy
New
Year
and
so
opted
out.
