DYK Chitrangda Singh was almost Shah Rukh Khan’s leading lady in this iconic film?

Not many know that Chitrangda Singh was initially considered to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the 2003 romantic drama Chalte Chalte. The role eventually went to Rani Mukerji, but if things had gone differently, Chitrangda’s Bollywood debut could have been alongside the King of Romance. This near-miss could have altered the entire course of her career, setting her on a different mainstream path from the start.
