Why Emraan Hashmi Rejected Aditya Roy Kapur's Character In Aashiqui 2
New Delhi: Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2 made Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor overnight sensations. The craze around the lead pair of the movie was unprecedented, and it was a huge boost to propel their careers forward. However, Mohit Suri's first choice for Aditya Roy Kapur's character, Rahul Jaykar, was his first hero, Emraan Hashmi. The Jannat 2 actor had revealed the reason behind rejecting the offer in an earlier interview. What's Happening Amid the humongous success of Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, led by debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, people have been comparing it to his blockbuster Aashiqui 2, featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. In an interview with Lallantop, Emran Hashmi got candid about the films he had rejected, which went on to become blockbusters. Among them was Aashiqui 2, where both Mahesh Bhatt and Mohit Suri believed he was the perfect fit. Mahesh Bhatt was one of the producers. Explaining the reason behind the same, Emraan Hashmi had said, " Aashiqui is a franchise that needs to be done with fresh faces. The franchise worked because the lead pair had no public perception, just like the original film (Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal). Aashiqui 2 will work with the actors who don't have a certain public image. Thus, I rejected the film." Speaking of regretting rejecting the film, Emraan Hashmi said, "I don't regret it. It made complete sense to me at that time. People may question it because, in retrospect, the film did well. But it did well because there were fresh faces. I don't think I would have been able to add value at that time. I had an image already." Emraan Hashmi Films With Mohit Suri Emraan Hashmi and Mohit Suri have collaborated previously in Zeher (2005), Kalyug (2005), Awarapan (2007), and Murder 2 (2011). Saiyaara Box-Office Collection Mohit Suri's Saiyaara has maintained its hold at the box office, paving the way for it to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda film has crossed the Rs 100 crore benchmark within four days of its release. After scripting history as one of the top 5 highest opening weekends of this year, Saiyaara became the seventh highest-grossing film of 2025. About Saiyaara Produced by Yash Raj Films, the film deals with love, loss, and heartbreak in a poignant way. The Mohit Suri film stars debutant Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, alongside Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, a young aspiring writer diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In A Nutshell There have been several comparisons between Mohit Suri's recent blockbuster Saiyaara and his previous hit Aashiqui 2. Both films revolve around themes of love and loss. While Saiyaara is led by debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Aashiqui 2 made Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapur overnight stars despite having done a few films. In an older interview, Emraan Hashmi spoke about being approached for Aashiqui 2 first. He, however, spoke about how he did not believe he was the right fit for the movie as it needed new faces.

Celina Jaitly Slams Makers Of Her Film Jawani Diwani: ‘Made It All About Serial Kisser'
Last Updated: Celina Jaitly and Emraan Hashmi starrer Jawani Diwani: A Youthful Joyride was released in 2006. The actress is still angry at the makers for diminishing the female lead's story. Celina Jaitly has called out the makers of her 2006 film 'Jawai Diwani: A Youthful Joyride', co-starring Emraan Hashmi. She said that much like her character Roma Fernandez in the film, she too felt betrayed as an actor. Criticizing the makers, she recalled being promised a stronger character arc, but instead, her role was sidelined and 'pushed aside' as the story focused entirely on Emraan Hashmi's character, the 'serial kisser.' She clarified that her criticism wasn't aimed at her 'amazing' co-star Emraan, but at the makers' mentality, who diluted the woman's voice for commercial convenience. In her recent Instagram post, Celina Jaitly shared a video clip from Jawani Diwani, featuring her and Emraan Hashmi. 'If I had directed this film, I would have told it from the perspective of the heart, from a place of raw, real emotion. I would never have allowed HER : ROMA FERNANDEZ to settle for someone who hurt her, used her, and diminished her worth. I would have honoured her journey, just as I was promised during the director's narration. But just like my character was betrayed in the story, I too was betrayed, as an actor" she wrote. Celina further added, 'What was meant to be her story became all about him, the serial kisser, while the woman who was kissed and believed it was love was pushed aside. This is not against my amazing co-star, this is against the mentality of the makers at the time, who chose spectacle over sincerity, and diluted a woman's voice for commercial convenience." Jawani Diwani, directed by Manish Sharma, starred Emraan Hashmi, Celina Jaitly, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Tiku Talsania and Mahesh Manjrekar. Known for its catchy songs, and cheeky humour, the film tells the tale of an aspiring singer who finds himself torn between love, ambition, and complex relationships. The movie garnered mixed reviews, with specific criticism directed at the development of the female lead's storyline. Best known for her roles in early 2000s hits like Janasheen, No Entry, and Thank You, Celina was last seen in a lead role in the 2011 romantic comedy Thank You. She made a brief special appearance in the 2012 film Will You Marry Me?, and later appeared in the 2020 short film Season's Greetings. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Meet Mohit Suri's wife, once a bold sensation opposite Emraan Hashmi, also related to Alia Bhatt by..,she is… If you are a 90s kid, you might remember the song 'Agar Tum Mil Jao' and the dancing hit 'Jhalak Dikla Jaa'. If you do, then chances are you also know the glamorous Udita Goswami. Once known as a bold and dazzling face of the early 2000s in Bollywood, Udita became a familiar face with her famous hit songs and striking performances. But the journey of this woman's uphill and absence was quick. In no time, she became a sensation, and in just as little time, she vanished just as quickly. Who is Udita Goswami? Coming from Dehradun, Udita studied at Cambrian Hall and D.A.V Public School. She started her professional career by modelling and captivating the audience with her striking performance in Khoob Lagti Ho alongside Upen Patel. But her breakthrough moment was with Pooja Bhatt's directorial debut Paap (2003). In this film, she featured opposite John Abraham. However, the film that really rose her to fame was Zeher. Her sizzling chemistry with Emraan Hashmi was widely hailed and appreciated. Their chemistry, particularly in Agar Tum Mil Jao, became iconic. Further, the two returned with Aksar that cemented her image with the superhit track Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Udita Goswami's Work In her short-lived career trajectory, she appeared in many films, including Aggar, Kisse Pyaar Karoon, Fox, Chase, Rokkk, and Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai. Her last appearance was in Diary of a Butterfly in 2012. After that, she stepped away from the world of the limelight. When Was Her Breakthrough Moment? Now Udita lives a much quieter and a peaceful life. She tied the knot with celebrated filmmaker Mohit Suri in 2013. The duo embraced parenthood and gave birth to two daughters, daughter Devi (born in 2015) and son Karrma (born in 2018). Udita is now also a DJ, as her bio reads. Speaking of her connection with Bollywood. She is also connected to Bollywood royalty; she's the sister-in-law of Pooja Bhatt and Alia Bhatt, and actor Emraan Hashmi is her brother-in-law.
