MUMBAI: Bollywood actor John Abraham who forayed into showbiz by walking the ramp doing music videos, was once approached by Dharma honcho and filmmaker Karan Johar for a role in the 2001 film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’.

However, not many are aware that it wasn’t for the lead cast but the role of Kareena Kapoor’s character’s college friend Robbie, eventually played by television actor Vikas Sethi.
