Kareena Kapoor made a ‘big mistake' when she let go of Priyanka Chopra's role in Aitraaz, reveals producer: ‘She chose the heroine's part, wanted to glide easily'
In the early 2000s, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra were known for their off-screen rivalry. Their tense dynamic wasn't just tabloid fodder; it played out publicly, most memorably through sharp jabs exchanged on Koffee with Karan. But the root of this reported friction might be traced back to 2003, during the making of Aitraaz, an Abbas-Mustan courtroom thriller, also starring Akshay Kumar. While Aitraaz was a commercial success, it was Priyanka's morally complex character that drew significant attention. Her portrayal was seen as bold, nuanced, and unlike anything Bollywood had shown at the time for a female lead. Now, veteran filmmaker and producer Suneel Darshan has revealed that Kareena Kapoor was originally offered the role of Sonia, a part that ultimately helped define Priyanka Chopra's early career. 'There are times when actors miscalculate,' Darshan told Bollywood Bubble. 'At that time, a negative role was still viewed as something like a vamp. And the fact that Priyanka was cast alongside Amrish Puri as his wife, so it felt more like a Shashikala-type role. You know, like the ones Shashikala or Bindu used to play in older films. But with time, narratives change, and so do perspectives. And I thought to myself, my God, Bebo (Kareena) made such a big mistake.' According to Darshan, Kareena was offered the film first and she could have easily grabbed Sonia's part. 'But Bebo is Bebo. She always wanted to glide through everything easily. She lost out on that role because she chose not to do it. She picked the heroine's part opposite the hero. She could have taken Priyanka's role too, but she didn't.' Also Read | Priyanka Chopra didn't want to be a part of Aitraaz: 'She was hesitant that she will get stereotyped as a vamp' Darshan praised Priyanka for taking a risk when many actresses at the time were hesitant to portray grey characters. 'Priyanka was at a stage where she was on the rise. She was the go-getter. Whatever she wanted, she went after and got it. And that role justified something that wasn't considered normal, it made you believe in it.' What followed was reportedly an unspoken rift between Kareena and Priyanka, with each taking subtle (and not-so-subtle) digs at the other over the years. On various seasons of Koffee with Karan, both stars made pointed remarks. At one point, Kareena even questioned Priyanka's National Award win for Fashion, prompting widespread speculation about tension between the two. Interestingly, the two actresses shared a couch on Koffee with Karan in 2019 during its sixth season, where they laughed off their past remarks and displayed a surprisingly warm, refreshed dynamic. In a 2023 interview with Mid-Day, Kareena seemed to put those rumours to rest. She denied ever having any 'catfights' with Priyanka but admitted to saying 'foolish things' when she was younger. 'I'm a more relaxed person now,' she said, reflecting on how marriage, motherhood, and a successful career have grounded her. When asked directly if there was ever tension with Priyanka, Kareena responded, 'Not at all! Rubbish. I was like, 'What is going on?''

Rahul Dholakia opens up on battling a heart attack, shot Shah Rukh Khan's Raees while his mom was in the ICU: 'Don't let alcohol or smokes or any substance dictate you'
In an industry obsessed with box office numbers and back-to-back announcements, few dare to pause and speak about the toll it takes. Director , who is best known for Raees, Lamhaa and the National Award-winning Parzania, admits that mental and physical health have often been collateral damage in his filmmaking journey. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'I've had diabetes after one film, blood pressure after another, and a heart attack after one more,' he shared with ETimes, recounting the physical consequences of an unrelenting career that's more chaos than comfort. 'Forget your personal problems — that's the job' Dholakia reveals how the stress of filmmaking doesn't end with the logistics of the shoot. 'We have to deal with so many egos, tantrums and power games even while making the film. Stress of making the film is understandable — but stress of handling cast, crew, producers and stars is just another ball game.' He particularly recalls the emotionally draining first schedule of Raees, starring . 'My mom was in the ICU, I was suffering from chronic pain... but I couldn't take off. was on set, and I had to shoot. I would stay with my mom at the hospital at night, then come to set and pretend everything was normal. It was a nightmare — but you can't bring your problems on set.' 'I sleep. Or I watch Rocky' When it gets too much, Dholakia turns to comfort — and movies. 'Whenever I feel low or depressed, I do two things: watch movies like Rocky, Legally Blonde, My Cousin Vinny… or I just sleep. I take one day at a time.' He adds that the quiet company of loved ones helps too. 'My mom and sister — when they are around — give me comfort. Or I visit a couple of close friends. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We don't have to talk about feeling low. We just hang. Be normal.' Amid the boycott trend, Rahul Dholakia points out suggestions for his Bollywood friends on how to make good movies 'People are afraid to say they're unwell' Mental health conversations may be growing in Bollywood, but Dholakia doesn't think the stigma is gone — especially on film sets. 'Our industry is such a performance-driven industry that people are afraid to say they're not well. There's always a fear of being dropped. No one wants to look weak. That's a big problem — it's always do or die.' His advice to younger artists: 'Your life is yours. Don't let anyone take it away from you. If you feel low, don't feel shy to take help — you have to look after yourself.' 'Don't let alcohol or smokes dictate you' Looking back, Dholakia shares a rare note of regret. 'If I could tell my younger self one thing, I'd say — don't let alcohol or smokes or any substance dictate you. Face the problems. Deal with them.'

In the teaser, Aryan is seen nominating Shanavas, making a sharp comment: "He tries to portray himself as Rudran, the villain from his serial, but to me, he feels more like a cat." Gizele, who was already nominated earlier, targeted Sarika, saying, "This is Bigg Boss, not a place to act like a mother-in-law." Rena too jumped into the action, stating she doesn't think Nevin fits the Bigg Boss image and is only trying to be an entertainer.
