Kareena Kapoor Khan: ‘Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are yet to thank me for saying no to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela’

Talking about the 2013 film, the actress recently said, “I believe in destiny, and I believe that whatever is meant to be in your life will happen.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan was the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2013 aching and sweeping romance Ram Leela, a rustic and raunchy take on the iconic and doomed lovers Romeo and Juliet. It then starred Deepika Padukone opposite Ranveer Singh. The chemistry between the leads was electric and seductive, with their passion and obsession crossing all boundaries as they embrace their bodies and souls.

In an interview with BBC Asian, the Crew actress spoke about the same and said, “I believe in destiny, and I believe that whatever is meant to be in your life will happen, through anything. All is written in the stars and everything is not written for everyone.’

When Kareena criticized SLB

Back in 2002, during the release of Devdas, Kareena was replaced by Aishwarya Rai and this is what she said, “What he did to me was wrong. He screen-tested me for Devdas, gave me a signing amount, then took someone else. That was wrong, it hurt especially because I was at the start of my career. It’s okay, because the day he dropped me, I signed Yaadein. Sanjay hurt me. Even if I have no work, I’ll never work with him.’

‘A lot of women have done strong parts’

Kareena , when asked about whether female actresses are treated differently, said that things have changed due to many people.

“No, I think it has changed because I think a lot of strong women have done a lot of strong parts. They have done films that have been loved by audiences, by the masses, by film people, critics, and at the box office. The lead actresses like Kangana Ranaut and Vidya, like Deepika or myself, I think, have always tried to stand for roles that have risen above just being, you know, they’re in the film,” she said.
