When Amrita Rao was ‘shattered’ after she missed opportunity to work with Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan: ‘My heart broke into pieces…’

Talking to Hindustan Times, Amrita had revealed, “Hrithik and I did a photoshoot and unfortunately the chemistry was missing as I was looking too young for him. I don’t have any hard feelings about losing Krrish because I strongly believe destiny leads each individual in life.”

Amrita had also shared how she still cherishes whatever time she spent being associated with Krrish and that she continues to share a good bond with Rakesh, Hrithik and his former wife Sussanne Khan as she is their “favourite”.

She had shared, “I must be really lucky because the Roshans have loved all my films and I am the favourite of their family. It feels so good because the family is known for giving hit after hit! And can you believe that Rakesh Roshan is my fan (laughs)?”

Hrithik Roshan first acted with Priyanka Chopra in Krrish and then again in Krrish 3, Kangana Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi were the new additions to the superhero film franchise.

Amrita Rao has moved on and now apart from acting, she and her husband Anmol owns a YouTube channel called Couple Of Things. The couple recently wrote a book with the same name as their vlog. The book was launched by Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in February, this year.

In her book, Amrita revealed that she was initially offered a role in Salman Khan‘s Wanted (2009) but her final contract didn’t come through because her own manager sabotaged it.

“A few months later, I was in Hyderabad shooting for a Telugu film with south superstar Mahesh Babu. One evening, back from the shoot in the lobby of my hotel Taj Banjara, I bumped into a production guy who worked closely with Mr. Boney Kapoor. ‘Oh, hi Amrita! How are you doing? If only our dates hadn’t clashed, you would be shooting for us with Salman Khan for Wanted,’ he said. I looked at him blankly. ‘When was I approached for Wanted?’ I asked, confused.”

She then quoted the person as saying, “Oh of course you were, I had called your manager and he said your dates were impossible to match.”

Amruta Rao then shared how this incident left her heartbroken. “My heart broke into pieces and I was completely shattered. ‘I was never informed by him about such a huge offer. If only I knew, I’d have definitely worked out the dates for you,’ I said, reeling from the shock! Instead of taking our separation in his stride, my ex-manager had decided to give me this vengeful parting gift!”
