The Bollywood industry is full of talented actors and actresses. Each of them makes many films but do you know that many of these actors even reject some lucrative projects and regret later on.

B-town has been an evergreen topic when it comes to such gossip and tantrums by actresses. Given below is the Bollywood heroines name list of those who turned down lucrative roles because some or the other reason-
- Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone is one of the top names in the Bollywood industry. She is also one of the highest-grossing actresses who made her debut in the movie ‘Om Shanti Om’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Two years prior to the huge success of this movie, she was offered to make her debut opposite another top actor, Salman Khan but she turned it down saying she was not ready at that time.
- Kareena Kapoor Khan
Bebo in the Bollywood industry has never failed to make her fans love her even more after every movie of hers. When it comes to her choice of movies, she has done some amazing work over the last 15 years but she has also rejected some roles which she regretted later. She rejected the leading role in the movie Queen which was later given to Kangana Ranaut and the movie was a super hit. She even rejected the role of Naina in the movie Kal Ho Na Ho which was later given to Preity Zinta.
- Anushka Sharma
Another top Bollywood heroines name is Anushka Sharma. She is a simple yet fine and beautiful actress who is known for her great acting skills.

To Sum It Up
Rejecting movies by the top Bollywood actresses is very common. There are many actresses who fall in the Bollywood heroines name list of the ones who rejected roles because of any random reason. The same happens in the south also. If you feel that no South ki heroine rejects any role, then you are mistaken.
