Bhumika Chawla Reveals She Got Replaced With Kareena Kapoor In 'Jab We Met', Says, 'Felt Bad'

One of the most popular South Indian actress, who tried her best to step into Bollywood and gifted us some amazing roles to cherish forever, is Bhumika Chawla. The actress' name is enough to make us remember her stellar performance in one of her best Bollywood movies ever, Tere Naam. Bhumika began her career as an actress by working in Ad films, and then we saw her in the television series, Hip Hip Hurray on Zee TV.

However, after working hard, the actress finally got into Bollywood alongside superstar, Salman Khan. After Tere Naam became to be a massive hit, Bhumika acted in a lot of movies. But it is to be heard that the actress rejected so many scripts because she was not getting the roles she wished to get in Bollywood. However, she recently returned to the silver screen with Salman Khan's movie, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. And in a recent interview, the actress revealed that she got an offer for two big hit movies, but that didn't happen.

Bhumika Chawla talks about being replaced in movies like Jab We Met and Munna Bhai MBBS

While talking about her acting career in Bollywood, Bhumika Chawla, in a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, said that she got many offers, but she has always been selective and picky. The actress revealed that she signed up for a big film after Tere Naam, but the constant changes in production, hero, film title, and finally, the heroine didn't make it happen. The actress added she waited one year for the roles she wished for and acted in a few movies, which might be a hit or flop. Bhumika said it is like 'gambling', and there is no surety about which movie would work or which not. Bhumika said:

"I got many offers. I've always been selective and choosy about what I do. I had signed a big film after it, and unfortunately, the production changed, then the hero changed, and the film title changed. Then the heroine was changed too. But if I would have done that it would have been different. So they say, jo likha hai, woh hota hai. I waited for that film for one year and didn’t sign any other film. Later, I signed another film which didn’t happen too. Baki jo ki gayi woh shayad utni Chali nahi ya chali, it’s just like gambling, you don’t know when and which movie will work."

Bhumika revealed that she and Bobby Deol were selected for the movie. She said the movie was then called Train. However, the actress then stated how the hero and, eventually, the female leads were changed for the movie. Bhumika said it was the only time she felt terrible for being replaced. She also revealed she got a chance in Munna Bhai MBBS and Kannathil Muthamittal, which didn't happen. Bhumika revealed:

"The only time I felt bad was when I signed Jab We Met and it didn't happen. I was the first one, Bobby (Deol) and me, when it was called Train. Then, it was Shahid (Kapoor) and me, and then Shahid and Ayesha (Takia), and then Shahid and Kareena (Kapoor). That’s how things happened but it’s okay. I only felt bad once and then never again because I just move on. I don't think much about it. I had signed Munna Bhai MBBS but it didn’t happen. Kannathil Muthamittal with Mani (Ratnam) sir didn’t happen."
