This actress is one of the leading heroines in films, but was once thrown out of films for asking for equal pay as superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Read on for more details.
Equal pays
Equal pay for heroes and heroines in the film industry has always been a point of conflict, discussion, and debate. However, let’s tell you about a heroine who was replaced in one of Shah Rukh Khan’s films for asking for an equal pay cheque.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
The actress we are talking about is none other than Bebo, aka Kareena Kapoor, who has been ruling the film industry with her charm, personality, and talent. She has given numerous blockbusters, including Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum, among others.
Kareena Kapoor replaced
Despite being popular with her multiple hit works, she was replaced in one of Shah Rukh Khan’s films. The movie we are talking about is none other than the blockbuster Kal Ho Na Ho, which features Shah Rukh and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles.
Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta was not first offered the role of Naina Catherine Kapur, but it was Kareena who was approached with the role. However, when she was offered the film, she demanded the same fees as Shah Rukh Khan, and she was replaced by Preity.
Karan Johar
The producer of the film, Karan Johar, was taken by surprise by Kareena’s demand, and later he dropped Kareena’s demand. The matter went far, and the conflict between the maker and the Bebo lasted for around 18 months.

In his autobiography, Karan Johar mentioned the matter with Kareena. He said, “I said, ‘Sorry.’ I was very hurt. I told my father, ‘Leave that negotiation room,’ and I called her. She didn’t take my call, and I said, ‘We’re not taking her.’ And we signed Preity Zinta instead.”

The conflict between Karan and Kareena continued until the passing of veteran producer Yash Johar in 2004. Karan Johar mentioned the matter on his show Koffee With Karan season 8 and revealed how the two reconnected.

Karan Johar said, “We didn’t speak for a year and a half. It was only when my father was diagnosed with cancer that she called me. She was silent, and I was silent. She said, ‘I don’t know what to say.’ I said, ‘Don’t say anything, I know you are there.’ When he passed away, she was in Bangkok, and we still had not mended things. The moment she landed from her shoot, she came home. We spent all night just chatting. We went back to where we were.”
