Alia Bhatt received huge praise and critical acclaim for her strong performance in the Gauri Shinde directorial Dear Zindagi. But did you know that Alia was not the first choice for the film? She apparently replaced another Bollywood actress after Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan convinced Gauri Shinde to cast Alia in the lead role in her film.
During an old interview with former film critic Rajiv Masand, Alia was told how another Bollywood actress was supposed to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Dear Zindagi. He also told her that SRK and KJo had convinced Gauri Shinde to cast Alia in the lead role.
Although Alia admitted the fact that she knew another Bollywood actress was going to star in Dear Zindagi, but she denied knowing about SRK and KJo asking Gauri to cast her in the film.
“I know there was someone else on board earlier. And then there was a conversation that maybe the film would go to me. That’s all I know. And the next thing I know Gauri came to me and we were on board. Now, I don’t know if she got convinced… Maybe because I was young, but that’s okay because sometimes your director has to see things a little differently,” said Alia.
Katrina Kaif was rumored to be the first choice for Darling Zindagi, but Alia replaced her. However, there is no official confirmation that Katrina was on board before Alia in Gauri Shinde’s film.
