In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Kareena Kapoor Khan had revealed about her being first approached for the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. If Kareena would have said yes to the film then that would have been her first debut film instead of Refugee starring Abhishek Bachchan. However, Kareena Kapoor Khan had to at that time turn down the project due to further studies. 

Kareena Kapoor Khan elaborated on her at that time feeling quite young and even planning for further education which is why things could not work out with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The film follows the life of a newly-wed man who on discovering that his wife is in love with another man decides to unite them. He ignores the ridicule of the society for his actions and rather takes his wife to Italy in search of her love. On the other hand, Kareena Kapoor Khan's fans have always loved her many performances and wish to see her team up someday with the talented director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
