Bollywood Actors Who Refused To Play Aman In Kuch Kuch Hota Hai And (Hopefully) Regretted It!

Karan Johar’s debut directorial Kuch Kuch Hota has completed 20 years since its release in 1998. The story of friendship and romance has become a classic in its own right and was a box office blockbuster. But apart from the Rahul, Anjali and Tina who the story revolved around the film gave us a very special character to fondly remember and it was that of Aman. Understated in both the story and the screen time, Aman played by Salman Khan simply stole our hearts away with as mature and understanding fiancé of Anjali and became the kind of guy every girl secretly wanted to marry (even more than Rahul).

While it is widely known that Karan had a hard time find a fit for Tina (played by Rani Mukerji) finding an Aman for the film was no way easier. The role was tossed about from one actor to another till Karan met Salman at a party and eventually got him on board to play the part. Here is who all rejected Aman before that.

Aamir Khan – Simply for not wanting to play the second fiddle to Shah Rukh, Aamir simply passed on the role.

Saif Ali Khan – The actor was the first choice for the character but it was after he knocked it down Karan went on looking (for a long time) for another Aman.

Chandrachur Singh – Karan had placed the role to the actor who pandered over it a long time and eventually came back saying NO!

Ajay Devgn – Kajol’s then boyfriend (and now husband) who was to play Aman had apparently walked out of the film (for reasons unknown)!

Salman Khan – Yes! The actor had first refused the offer to play Aman and was later convinced by his sister Alviya to take up the film and eventually bagged the role.
