Aishwarya had rejected Shahrukh’s ‘Happy New Year’, said- it would have been awkward for me and Abhishek

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan rejected many such films in her career or could not do them for some reason, which later became blockbusters. These include names like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’. But do you know that Aishwarya also rejected Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Happy New Year’? While Aishwarya’s husband Abhishek Bachchan was also in this film. What was the reason for rejecting the film, Aishwarya once told this in an interview. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan told in an interview to ‘NDTV’ that she had got an offer for ‘Happy New Year’. Although the film did not get a special response, it did a decent business at the box office. ‘Happy New Year’, released in the year 2014, was directed by Farah Khan. Apart from Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Abhishek Bachchan, the film also featured Vivaan Shah, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani.

‘It would have been strange if I was paired with someone else while Abhishek was around

Aishwarya Rai had said, ‘Yes, I was offered the film and if I had worked in it, it would have been like a fun trip. It would have been a lot of fun, but it would not have worked for me and Abhishek Bachchan. This is because we are not paired together in the film. Deepika Padukone is opposite Shahrukh in the film. There is only one female lead in the film and there is no one opposite Abhishek. So it would have been very awkward for me and Abhishek that I would be in the film and I would be paired with someone else while Abhishek was also in the film. That’s why I rejected the film.’
