Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan might not be going through the best phase of his career, but sharing screen with him is still a dream for many. Starting from Deepika Padukone to Anushka Sharma, a launch with Shah Rukh is a proven formula to get established in the tinsel town. It is difficult to believe that an actress can refuse to work with the King of Bollywood. Here is a list of such actresses.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu

The most recent name in this list is Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Reportedly, Samantha turned down the offer to work with Shah Rukh in his upcoming film directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee. Now Nayanthara has been roped in for the role. According to reports, Samantha had refused the offer as she was then planning to focus on setting up a family with Naga Chaitanya. Naga and Samantha are now divorced.

Sridevi

Shah Rukh Khan has been a big admirer of Sridevi. However, very few people know that Darr was initially offered to Sridevi, which she refused due to unclear reasons. Anyway, the project went to Juhi Chawla, and the rest is history.

Karisma Kapoor

Karisma Kapoor was just as successful as her younger sister Kareena during her era. Interestingly, Karisma has refused not just once but twice, to work in movies starring Shah Rukh Khan. Initially, she was offered the role of ‘Tina’ in Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota hai. She also refused to work in Ashoka with Shah Rukh Khan.

Sonam Kapoor

Anil Kapoor had criticized Shah Rukh Khan for declining to work in the Oscar winning movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Anyway, his daughter Sonam has also refused to work with Shah Rukh Khan. Reportedly, she declined many offers claiming that the chemistry between the two may not work.  

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut’s disappointment with the Bollywood biggies is a secret to none. She has been an open critic of the Khans. According to her, working with the Khans has no longevity. She feels that working with the Khans can’t take her status to any higher level. Moreover, she feels that working with the Khans won’t add to her list of achievements in any way. So, that was a straightforward and candid reason cited by Kangana for not working with Shah Rukh Khan.  

Hema Malini

Hema Malini, the dream girl of Bollywood has not worked with Shah Rukh Khan in even a single movie. What’s the reason? Well, it might be embarrassing for the fans of SRK. According to her, Shah Rukh does overacting.

On April 21, a part of the actress’ column went viral on the internet highlighting her misquoted lines from the anthem.

It read: “I love my country but for some of you – and you’re the bigots, not me – I become ‘anti-national’ only because I ask questions or choose to be critical. Listen to the national anthem… recall the line you heard as kids, ‘Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issai…'”.

The column was her way of expressing anguish at being trolled by people and the trend of trolling on the net lately.

In the past, the actress has been trolled for talking about the four-day meat ban in Mumbai in 2015.

Sonam had said that “India will remain a third world country because of the intolerant misogynistic close minded few”.
