Aishwarya Rai On Rejecting Happy New Year: Aishwarya Rai is one of the most beautiful and most talented actresses of Bollywood. She has worked in many blockbuster films in her career so far. Aishwarya is also known for doing selective roles. She has also rejected offers of many blockbuster films including Troy, Munnabhai MBBS, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Crush in her career.
One of the films rejected by Aishwarya was Farah Khan’s Happy New Year which was a semi-hit at the box office. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone as well as Aishwarya’s husband Abhishek Bachchan. In an interview, Aishwarya revealed the reason for rejecting this film.
Why did Aishwarya reject ‘Happy New Year’?
In an old interview with NDTV, Aishwarya talked about her decision to leave the film. The actress said, “Yes, I was offered the film, and it was a very fun journey,” Aishwarya clarified, “I knew we would have a lot of fun doing it and it would be a fun experience.
But this film does not work for both Abhishek and me because we are not paired with each other. Deepika Padukone paired in heist comedy Shahrukh Khan I was with Abhishek Bachchan, whereas there was no romantic pairing opposite him. So it would have been really weird if I was paired with someone else in the film while Abhishek was in the film. That is why I said no to this film.”
