The superstar eventually got better and they began shooting around 6 months later.Kareena was the first choice
Karan Johar had written Kal Ho Naa Ho with his BFF Kareena Kapoor Khan in mind. However, the actress asked for a whopping fee, which is why she was replaced by Preity Zinta as Naina. This also reportedly resulted in a spat between the two. Years later, Bebo admitted that she regretted missing out on the role.Why Saif said yes to Rohit Patel
