Ankita had once revealed that she was considered for a role opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the movie Happy New Year. Yes, you read that right! 

The Pavitra Rishta actress had stated, "I was considered for this role, so it is a good thing. It is unfortunate it couldn't happen. I don't know why things did not work out. I think there is a prejudice against TV actors. I was working on TV, and if I was considered for it, it is a big thing." 

Well, things did not materialise and later Deepika Padukone was cast opposite Shah Rukh.  

We would have loved to see Ankita romancing Shah Rukh in the film!
