In the world of acting, luck and fortune also play a very important role. There are many such actresses in the industry who tried their luck but after flopping, they moved away from the world of acting. One of them was offered the role of heroine in superstar Salman Khan's film, but due to some reasons, she was out of the film and later, after becoming a flop actress, she started doing sewing and embroidery. The 1991 Blockbuster Sanam Bewafa Here we are talking about action drama, 'Sanam Bewafa', helmed by Saawan Kumar Tak. In this film, actress Chandni was seen as the lead actress opposite Salman in this film. But before her, this film was offered to the new actress of that time, Rukhsar Rehman. Who later debuted with Aditya Pancholi in 'Yaad Rakhegi Duniya.' But her first break was going to be with 'Sanam Bewafa'. She was going to be Salman's heroine. Sanam Bewafa proved to be a blockbuster in that era. But in a recent interview, she said that 'the name of the character in the film was Rukhsar. But my father did not believe in the terms of the contract. Rukhsar Rehman Rejected Sanam Bewafa Rukhsar's father refused to accept this contract. After this, Rukhsar rejected the first and last blockbuster of her career. Later, when her career flopped, after marriage and divorce, she had to work as a tailor. Even today, the actress regrets that she did not do this film. After Rukhsar's rejection, actress Navodita Sharma was cast in the film 'Sanam Bewafa' through an advertisement. Saawan Kumar liked her photo and gave her the lead role in the film. After this film became a hit, Navodita Sharma left her real name and kept the screen name Chandni. Chandni Became An Overnight Sensation Chandni also got a new identity from this blockbuster film of Salman Khan. Her debut film proved lucky for her. After this film, she became a star overnight. After this film, she became a big part of the industry. The budget of Sanam Bewafa was very low. In those days, 'Sanam Bewafa' was made in just Rs 25 lakh. But it became a huge success by earning 12 crores, which was 48 times more than its actual budget. The film is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, which stars Late Pran, Danny Denzongpa, Puneet Issar, Kanchan, Pankaj Dheer and Dina Pathak in pivotal roles.

Rukhsar Rehman Reveals Being Forcibly Married Off By Parents, Fleeing With Baby At 19
Last Updated: Rukhsar debuted at 17 in Yaad Rakhegi Duniya and starred with Rishi Kapoor in Inteha Pyar Ki. Forced to quit acting and marry, she had daughter Aisha at 19. There are stories that never quite make it to the spotlight, those quiet tales of resilience, sacrifice, and the stubborn pursuit of dreams. Rukhsar Rehman's is one of them. Long before she graced the screens in PK, Sarkar, or Uri, Rukhsar was just a 17-year-old girl stepping into the world of cinema with Yaad Rakhegi Duniya. She shared screen space with Rishi Kapoor in Inteha Pyar Ki, but her dreams were short-lived. Under pressure from her family, she walked away from acting. Her parents arranged her marriage, and by 19, she had become a mother. 'With Aisha, I found my new purpose. Life looked perfect from the outside. I was trying to be a good wife. But over time, the cracks began to show. And the marriage fell apart," Rukhsar told Humans Of Bombay. There was no dramatic exit, no grand farewell to that chapter. 'One night, I packed what little I could and left. My daughter was just 8 months old, asleep, unaware our life was about to change. I kept asking myself, 'Am I doing the right thing?' But I knew I had tried everything. When my father opened the door, he didn't ask questions — just said, 'You'll be okay.'" With nothing but grit, she started over in her hometown Rampur, opening a small garment boutique to support herself and Aisha. But the artist in her wasn't ready to disappear. 'Years passed. One day, I grew too restless. I left Aisha with my parents — the hardest thing I've ever done. But I had to find myself again if I wanted to give her the life she deserved. In 2005, after over a decade away, I started from scratch — small roles, auditions, rejections. But I kept going." The path back to acting wasn't easy. But one role led to another – films, TV, and recognition slowly returned. She even found love again and married filmmaker Faruk Kabir. Yet, life had more heartbreak in store. 'It hurt, but Aisha was by my side. I believe she raised me too. There was a time I thought my story was over. But I loved acting too much to let it go. When you're meant to do something, you find your way back — when you're ready." Up next, Rukhsar Rehman is set to appear in Uttar Da Puttar, a social drama helmed by director Ravinder Siwach and starring Annu Kapoor in a key role. She also makes a special appearance in the upcoming film Thanks Maa. First Published:
