Not Sushmita Sen, THIS Actress Was The First Choice For Aarya

Ram Madhvani's Aarya has surely given a big boost to Sushmita Sen's career. The actress' performance as Aarya is said to be the best performance she has given till now. We have already watched 2 and a half seasons of Aarya, and we are gearing up for the second part of season 3. While of course Sushmita has left a mark in and as Aarya, do you know she wasn't the first choice for it?

We all know that Aarya was initially planned to be made as a movie with Kajol in the lead role. But, when the makers decided to make it as a series, Sushmita was not the first choice. Well, it was Raveena Tandon.

Recently, in an interview, with Hindustan Times, Raveena revealed that she couldn't do Aarya. She stated, "There are many times when I've met Ram and Nikhil (Madhok) from Hotstar then, that I said, 'We have to do something (together).' I'm really waiting to work with Ram. I had to explain to him why I couldn't do Aarya. Then he understood my reason."

Raveena is currently busy promoting her upcoming web show titled Karmma Calling which also stars Varun Sood and Namrata Sheth. During the same interview, Raveena revealed that she was supposed to do a Dharma film (Karan Johar production) which also starred Varun in it. But, that film didn't happen and when Ruchi Narain (director of Karmma Calling) showed her Varun's picture, she told her, "You have to sign him. He looks like my son."

Karmma Calling is Raveena's second web series. She had made her web series debut with Netflix's Aranyak in which she played the role of a cop. Talking about Karmma Calling, the series will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 26th January 2024. The trailer of the series has grabbed everyone's attention.
