Ms @suyeshasavant is an ex student of @actorprepares. And not someone who complains easily. She must have really gone through a huge trauma because of her small baby involved here. While I understand human error I hope you make her return journey comfortable and special to regain her faith in what I believe is one of the finest airlines in the world. Jai Ho!”

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Farah Khan’s Happy New Year is one of the most loved films. The 2014 released multi-starrer comedy caper also had Abhishek Bachchan in an important role. But do you know Aishwarya Rai was offered the film, but she had to decline as she wasn’t cast opposite her husband?

In an old interview with NDTV, Aishwarya Rai was asked about being offered Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. In response to this, the actress mentioned that she was offered the part. She admitted knowing she was going to have a fun and blast working on such a commercial genre. However, she had to let go of the opportunity as she wasn’t paired opposite her husband, Abhishek Bachchan.

She said, “It wouldn’t have worked out with both me and Abhishek in the film and not being paired with each other. We wouldn’t be cast opposite each other. It would be really, really weird, and That’s why I had to decline it.”

Happy New Year was released in 2014 and starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Vivaan Shah, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood, and Jackie Shroff in the key roles.
