Bajiro Mastani was finally made in 2015 with Ranveer and Deepika, the filmmaker, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had been trying to put the movie together since Salman and Aishwarya's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The film went through various castings and nothing seemed right. One of the actor's who was almost casted in the film was Bhumika Chawla. The actress left the spotlight after her 2003 hit, Tere Naam with Salman. And it was right around the time that Sanjay Leela called her for Bajirao Mastani. 

In a recent interview, Bhumika revealed that “this was a lot of years ago but then over the years, things changed. My screen test happened soon after Tere Naam.” The actress recalled that while she was doing a photo shoot with Sanjay Leela Bhansali while holding a tray full of diyas, one of the diyas dropped on her silk saree and it caught fire. “I had done a photo shoot with Sir in his style. My saree caught fire because ghee and oil spilled on my saree. I was holding the diyas in his style and it fell, and I was wearing a silk saree. I remember that happened,” she recalled.

She also said that this wasn't the only film she was supposed to do, she also had Jab We Met and Munna Bhai MBBS. She said,  “Ek hi baar mujhe bura laga tha, jab maine Jab We Met sign ki aur nahi hui. I was the first one, Bobby and me, when it was called Train. Then, it was Shahid and me, then Shahid and Ayesha, and then Shahid and Kareena. That’s how things happened, but it’s okay. I only felt bad once and then never again because I just move on. I don’t think much about it. I had signed Munna Bhai MBBS but it didn’t happen. Kannathil Muthamittal with Mani sir didn’t happen.”

Bhumika is being seen in Salman's Kisika Bhai Kisika ki Jaan. Have you watched the film yet? Well, its a blockbuster!
