Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan Quit Pardes

Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan were initially part of the film Pardes, directed by Subhash Ghai.

However, they both left the project.

Madhuri Dixit was offered the lead role but turned it down, possibly due to creative differences or a busy schedule.

Salman Khan also left the film.

The director wanted a newcomer for the role of Rajiv, who was supposed to look like an NRI.

Eventually, Mahima Chaudhary was cast in the lead role and became an overnight sensation.

The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was a huge success and is remembered for its music, cinematography, and acting.
