Why was Kareena Kapoor separated from Hrithik Roshan’s first film ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’?

Hrithik Roshan had done some films of his father Rakesh Roshan as a child artist. When a little older, Rakesh made him his assistant. When it felt that age had become worth becoming a hero, in 1998, Rakesh Roshan made planning of the film ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’. Love story is usually made about new artists. Rakesh Roshan also put some thrill elements in the love story.

Hrithik Roshan was a new hero, his first film, so the heroine was also found new and the search on Kareena Kapoor ended. Rakesh did not find it very difficult to find a heroine. Kareena is Randhir Kapoor’s daughter and Karishma Kapoor’s sister. Kareena had seen many times.

It was announced loudly to make a film with Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik. Some shoots were also done, but then suddenly the news came that Kareena had separated from the film or she has been separated from the film. The reason was given that there was some misunderstanding between Rakesh Roshan and Kareena’s mother Babita.

The real reason was named ‘misunderstanding’, but then in the corridors of Gossip, two things had gained momentum that Kareena Kapoor had to say no love hai.

The reason number one, Babita was interfering excessively. With the role. With the camera angle. With the dialogues. He had a lot of questions and suggestions. After a limit, Rakesh Roshan felt that this intervention was affecting his work. He thought it right to separate Kareena in the beginning because if later the intervention grew, it would be difficult for Kareena to separate from the film.

Babita was worried about her daughter’s career. There was doubt in his mind that Rakesh is making a film to launch his son, it would not happen that the whole focus is on Hrithik and Kareena would keep rubbing her hands. Babita’s concern was also reasonable.

The second reason was Hrithik and Kareena’s growing friendship. Rakesh’s sharp eyes had realized that Hrithik and Kareena’s friendship could take some more turn. Hrithik’s attention can deviate from the film and his career, so Kareena was also separated from the film.

Kareena’s replacement was elected as Amisha Patel. Rakesh is well aware of Amisha’s family, so Amisha’s name came to her mind immediately.

The film was made with Amisha and Hrithik. It was released on 14 January 2000. Then Aamir Khan’s fair was released on 7 January 2000 and Shah Rukh Khan’s again Dil Hai Hindustani was released on 21 January 2000. Khan’s films failed and Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai made a splash at the box office. Since then Hrithik has not looked back.
