Dil To Mad Hai: Yash Chopra’s film ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, released in 1997, is still counted among the most memorable romantic films of Hindi cinema. The trio of Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor was very much liked by the audience in the film. Especially in the role of ‘Nisha’, Karisma Kapoor left such an impression with her brilliant acting that she even received the National Award for this role. However, very few people know that Karisma Kapoor was not the makers’ first choice for this character. Before Karisma, this role was offered to Kajol and Manisha Koirala.
Yes, recently Karisma Kapoor herself has revealed this. According to him, the makers first approached Kajol and Manisha Koirala for the film. But both the actresses rejected the film.

Why did Kajol-Manisha reject the film?
Karisma has also given the reason for Kajol and Manisha rejecting the film. She said that when Dil To Pagal Hai was being made, the role of Nisha was offered to many actresses. But Madhuri Dixit was in this film and at that time no one wanted a role opposite the actress. Nor did she want to dance face off with him. Perhaps this might have been the reason why Kajol and Manisha also refused this role.
Said this about his character
Karisma Kapoor also remembered her character of Nisha in the film. He told that cinema also changed with that character. She was a character who was not like a common heroine. Because the hero is not loving her. That character has been quite challenging and different for me. Nisha’s character has been very emotional and special for me.
