Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
It is not very well known that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was keen to work with young Bebo in 1999’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. She was the director’s first choice to play Nandini opposite Salman Khan. Kareena later in an interview said, “He (Bhansali) and I have wanted to work together for a long time now. And yes, he had offered me Hum Dil De… but at that time I was too young. Plus, I was also going abroad for higher studies. So I couldn’t take up that offer.”
