Ameesha Patel
When Kareena lost her debut to Ameesha Patel, she said, "The film is a huge success, so I would have become a star had I acted in it. But I don't know if I want to be labelled as just a star. I'd rather be known as an actress, and that would not have been possible if I had done Kaho Naa. The film was made for Hrithik… She just doesn't look beautiful. If I was in the film, I would have definitely gotten a better deal, but I still feel that the attention would have divided us. So I'm glad I didn't do the movie."
