News India Live, Digital Desk: In the world of Bollywood, it is very common for one artist to refuse a film and another to accept it. But many times the ‘no’ of one proves to be such a big ‘yes’ for the other that history is made. Something similar happened with the two biggest superstars of the 80s and 90s, Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. Sridevi was the biggest and most expensive actress of that era. Every director-producer wanted to cast him in his film. But perhaps fate had something else in store. Sridevi rejected some such films in her career, which later created history when they fell in Madhuri Dixit’s lap. These films not only made Madhuri an overnight star, but also gave her the title of ‘Dhak-Dhak Girl’. Let us know about those films which Sridevi rejected and which proved to be a milestone in Madhuri Dixit’s career. 1. Beta – ‘Dhak Dhak’ made him a star. The first and biggest name in this list is the 1992 film ‘Beta’. You will be surprised to know that Sridevi was the first choice for the powerful role of ‘Saraswati’ in this film. It is said that Sridevi had already done many films with Anil Kapoor at that time and she did not want to repeat the same pair. After Sridevi’s refusal, this role went to Madhuri Dixit. Everyone knows what happened next. The film’s song “Dhak-Dhak Karne Laga” earned Madhuri the title of ‘Dhak-Dhak Girl’ and the film also won her the Filmfare Best Actress Award that year. This film became the turning point of Madhuri’s career.2. Darr – Missed the role of ‘Kiran’. The character of ‘Kiran’ in Srideviesh Chopra’s blockbuster film ‘Darr’ is still fresh in people’s minds. But this role was first offered to Sridevi only. According to reports, Sridevi, who had earlier worked with Yash Chopra in films like ‘Chandni’ and ‘Lamhe’, this time was not happy with the role of the villain (Shahrukh Khan) being given more importance than the hero (Aamir Khan or Sunny Deol) in the film. Sridevi left the film and this role went to Juhi Chawla. Although this film did not go directly to Madhuri, but losing this big film is considered a big blow to Sridevi’s career, which made actors like Juhi and Shahrukh superstars. Sridevi’s ‘No’, Madhuri’s advantage. It would not be wrong to say that these decisions of Sridevi, even if unknowingly, opened the way to Madhuri Dixit’s stardom. The film ‘Beta’ is a direct example where Madhuri Dixit got a film which took her to the pinnacle of success as soon as Sridevi refused. These films not only established Madhuri as a great actress, but also made her the biggest rival of Sridevi. These are the interesting pages of the history of Bollywood, which show that a right or wrong decision here can make someone’s career or can also keep someone away from that golden opportunity.
