Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001)

Co-star: Tusshar Kapoor, Rinke Khanna, Amrish Puri
Director: Satish Kaushik

Kareena plays: Pooja. In contrast to the traditional Naaz, Pooja is a modern NRI girl who studied in Harvard. For the first time, audiences get to see her jhatkas and nakras!

Trivia: Kareena was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's first choice for Paro in Devdas. The role eventually went to Aishwarya Rai. Conversely, Bhansali's first choice in his underproduction film, Bajirao Mastani, was Ash. The actress walked out as she did not want to act opposite Salman Khan, the film's lead, due to their turbulent relationship. Kareena stepped in.
