MUMBAI: In 1996, Karisma Kapoor stole hearts and ruled the box office with her performance in Raja Hindustani, a film that became a blockbuster and earned critical acclaim. However, what many may not know is that Karisma wasn't the first choice for the film.
The role was initially offered to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who, at the time, was focused on participating in Miss India as a step back from the film industry. Aishwarya revealed in an interview that she had four film offers before her Miss World win, and had she not participated in the pageant, Raja Hindustani would have been her debut film. However, destiny had other plans, and Aishwarya made her Bollywood debut with Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya in 1997, a year after Raja Hindustani released.
Juhi Chawla was also considered for the role but turned it down, leading to Karisma Kapoor ultimately landing the part. Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, Raja Hindustani not only cemented Karisma's position in the industry but also contributed significantly to her career growth.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's career took off in Bollywood with Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, and she went on to become one of the most iconic and accomplished actresses in the industry. Her recent performance in Ponniyin Selvan II was praised by audiences and critics alike, further solidifying her status as a powerhouse performer.
On the other hand, Karisma Kapoor is gearing up to entertain audiences once again with her upcoming movie Murder Mubarak. In a recent interview, she expressed her dislike for the term "comeback," emphasizing that actors returning to work after a break should be treated normally, without the added label of a comeback.
Additionally, Karisma will be seen in Abhinay Deo's series, Brown, based on Abheek Barua's book The City of Death, alongside Soni Razdan, Helen, and Surya Sharma, among others.
