If
you
are
an
ardent
fan
of
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
you
must
know
that
her
debut
film
was
supposed
to
be
Rakesh
Roshan's
Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai
and
not
JP
Dutta's
Refugee.
In
fact,
Kareena
had
kick-started
the
shoot
of
the
film,
but
soon
the
news
broke
out
in
the
media
that
she
was
replaced
by
a
new
face
named
Ameesha
Patel.
What
happened
next
is
known
to
all.
While
Kareena's
Refugee
failed
to
do
wonders
at
the
box
office,
Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai
broke
multiple
records
with
its
terrific
business.
Yesterday,
as
Kareena
completed
20
years
in
Bollywood,
she
spoke
to
Rajeev
Masand
about
her
long
Bollywood
journey
and
revealed
what
went
wrong
with
her
debut
with
Hrithik
Roshan.
She
said,
"Honestly,
at
that
time
nobody
really
calculated
and
nobody
really
knew-
whether
it
was
my
parents,
my
mother,
or
me-
I
don't
know
if
anybody
weighed
pros
and
cons.
It
was
just
what
I
thought
was
right.
There
was
never
really
that
kind
of
calculation.
I
also
believe
in
destiny;
what's
meant
to
happen
is
going
to
happen."
"Of
course,
I
went
on
to
do
so
many
films
with
Hrithik
after
that.
We
did
like
four
or
five
films
together,
and
I
think
that
Refugee
was
just
perfect.
I
got
a
chance
to
be
slightly
non-commercial.
I
somehow
felt
that
it
was
more
suited
for
me
at
that
time," added
Kareena.
Surprisingly,
Rakesh
Roshan
had
cited
a
totally
different
reason
behind
replacing
Kareena
with
Ameesha
in
Kaho
Naa
Pyaar
Hai.
In
an
interview
with
Quint,
Rakesh
Roshan
had
said,
"Kareena's
mother
Babita,
who
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for,
said,
'Don't
begin
with
a
song,
she's
not
ready.
Start
with
dialogues.'"
He
added,
"Babita
was
a
little
adamant
about
it.
So
I
said,
'This
way
I
cannot
work
because
tomorrow
you
might
say,
don't
do
this,
don't
do
that.
I
think
it's
better
we
part
ways
because
we
are
good
friends.'
So
we
parted
ways."
We
wonder
whose
version
of
the
story
holds
the
truth!
