Did you know Baazigar's original ending had Kajol kill Shah Rukh Khan? Abbas-Mustan calls SRK's character 'out-and-out negative'
Baazigar, a thriller, marked a turning point for Shah Rukh Khan. Directors Abbas-Mustan revealed the original script's darker elements. The initial plot involved a more negative character and a different ending. Kajol's character was to deliver justice by killing Shah Rukh Khan's character. The directors later shifted the focus to emotional depth. Baazigar was a turning point in Shah Rukh Khan 's career and in Bollywood storytelling. The 1993 thriller dared to cast SRK as a morally complex anti-hero at a time when clean-cut heroes dominated the silver screen. Now, decades later, the film's directors Abbas-Mustan, in an interview with Lucky Bisht, have revealed that the original script was even bolder—with a darker plot and a completely different ending that had Kajol's character delivering justice by killing SRK's. A Risky Move for Its Time Abbas-Mustan admitted that Baazigar's concept was quite unconventional for its time. While many saw Shah Rukh Khan's character as a villain, the directors always viewed him as the film's hero. Mustan explained that although the character had a dark side, his actions were driven by a deeper motive. According to them, when a negative character is given emotional depth or a justifiable reason for their behavior, the audience is more likely to empathize with them — which is exactly what they aimed for with SRK's role. The Original Ending Mustan also revealed that the original draft of Baazigar was significantly darker than the final version. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo In that version, Shah Rukh Khan's character was portrayed as entirely negative—shaped by a traumatic childhood involving an abusive, alcoholic father. Driven by a desire to become rich, he manipulates his way into relationships with both daughters of a wealthy businessman, ultimately killing one of them to gain control over the family's fortune. The twist in that early draft? The second daughter discovers his true intentions and ends up killing him, bringing the story full circle with her act of justice. From Thriller to Emotional Drama Mustan further shared that while the original draft leaned heavily into a dark, thriller tone, they later drew inspiration from iconic filmmakers like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra, who emphasized emotional storytelling. Realizing that the film needed a deeper emotional core to resonate with audiences, they reworked the script to give Shah Rukh Khan's character a strong backstory. This included his bond with his mother, the trauma of his father's death, and the loss of his younger sister. Mustan revealed they approached the producer to explain the shift in the storyline and asked for additional time to craft a more emotionally engaging screenplay. In his words, it was the emotional depth—and not just the suspense—that became Baazigar's most crucial element. Baazigar follows Shah Rukh's character as he seeks revenge against businessman Madan Chopra for ruining his family. Posing under a false identity, he dates Chopra's daughters, kills one, and later falls for the other. The film ends with Ajay's death in a violent confrontation.

I loved watching dad shoot Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye in Jaipur: Tina
Tina Ahuja Tina Ahuja, who was recently in Jaipur on a work-cum-leisure trip, was radiating the same energy as her father (Govinda). The actress took some time out to explore the city, shop for her favourites and strengthen her bond with a place she's been visiting since childhood. 'My association with Pink City goes back to the time when I was a little girl who loved to accompany dad for shoots,' shares Tina. 'I remember coming to Jaipur for the first time when papa was shooting for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. I loved watching him shoot the song Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye at the poolside of a five-star hotel here. It was such fun. We also visited a few other locations, including a temple where another song was filmed. With every visit, my bond with the city grew stronger, and now we even have friends here.' One of her biggest joys in Jaipur is shopping. 'Jaipur ki jewellery is one thing I love to shop for,' she adds. 'The uncut diamonds and the variety of semi-precious stones keep bringing me back. What adds to the experience is the lassi and kachori - Jaipur's flavours are unbeatable.' Tina Ahuja Tina made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with Second Hand Husband and later appeared in a few other films and music videos, though her career didn't quite take off as expected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Reflecting on that phase, she says, 'Initially, it did affect me - thinking about my career graph and the kind of movies I got. I remember Jaya Bachchan Ji's podcast where she says, 'You give your best and forget about others.' That one line changed my thought process. Now I don't give much importance to what others think of me. I'm true to myself, and that's about it.' She says she has found happiness working with her father, Govinda. 'Trust me, I'm in the best and happiest phase of my life. I work with my father - I take care of post-production, manage his shoots and events. I love assisting my dad, and honestly, I'm enjoying every bit of it. I'm also engaged in costume designing, which allows me to use my creativity in the best possible way.'
