Why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan rejected the role of Tina from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was reportedly Karan Johar’s first choice for the role of Tina from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Due to unavailability of the required date, the role was offered to Rani Mukerji. As per an interview given by Aishwarya to a media portal, Karan Johar approached her but she couldn't take up the role due to prior commitments. She added that at point of time, she did not want to play a character like Tina that would require her to go back to her modelling days. She, however, shared words of appreciation for Rani Mukerji who ended up playing the role later.

Role of Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Kuch Kuch Hota hai has given us a few evergreen characters. The film has three significant characters- Rahul, Tina and Anjali. Rani Mukerji, who is seen playing the role of Tina in the film, is a college diva who can pull off any look. Tina is the daughter of the principal of Rahul and Anjali's college and a graduate from a university in London. She ends up falling in love with Shah Rukh Khan's character, Rahul Khanna. The two get married later in the film. However, things, eventually, do not end up well for Tina.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was released in the year 1998. The film was a huge success at the box office. This was the film that made Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's pair an evergreen hit.
