Monica Bedi made her Hindi debut with Surakshaa. However, she was forced to take a break from her career due to her connection with Abu Salem. Naturally, her Bollywood career came to a halt and the rest is all history.
Now, in a recent interaction, she made stirring revelations and shared that she was supposed to be a part of Karan Arjun which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The film was a hit and Mamta Kulkarni played a pivotal role in it. But Monica Bedi revealed that she lost out on the film because of one mistake.
In a recent interaction with Siddharth Kanan, the actress recalled that Rakesh Roshan had given his card to her at Subhash Ghai's Holi party. However, she did not know that he was planning to cast her in Karan Arjun. The actress thought why would an actor call her to his office and then she tore the card.
The actress said, "At Subhash Ghai’s Holi party, Rakesh Roshan walked up to me. I knew he is an actor, I had watched his films. But I didn’t know he is also a director-producer. So, he came to me and did some small talk. He gave me his card and told me, ‘Come and see me tomorrow."
She further added, "I was like why is he calling me over, he is an actor. I tore the card and threw it away. I was like there is something fishy."
It was only after a few months that Monica Bedi got to know what she lost by not paying heed to Rakesh Roshan’s invitation.
The actress told Siddharth Kanan: “After a few months, my manager asked, ‘Why didn’t you go to meet him? He was making this film called Karan Arjun and wanted you for the role which Mamta Kulkarni played opposite Salman Khan.'”
Monica Bedi revealed that a few months later, her manager asked her why didn’t she visit Rakesh Roshan as he was planning to cast her in Karan Arjun for Mamta Kulkarni’s role opposite Salman Khan.
For those unaware, Karan Arjun was a box office success and has now received a cult status. She also revealed that she was supposed to feature in a film by Manoj Kumar but it never took off.
Monica Bedi has been featured in films like Jodi No.1, Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Jaanam Samjha Karo and more. She has also participated in TV shows like Bigg Boss 2, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and more.
