1. - Priyanka Chopra, Krrish, India, 2006. Bollywood director Rakesh Roshan was cogitating between Amrita and Aishwarya Rai when he caught a sneak preview     of Priyanka in Aitraaz, 2004. Game over.

2. - Minissha Lamba, Bachna Ae Haseeno, India, 2008. Lucky not to be selected. One that was, the London-born model, Katrina Kaif, was cut for time!

3. -  Bipasha Basu, Bachna Ae Haseeno, India, 2008. Instead of Amrita, Bipash won the model catching the eye of  Ranbir Kapoor- grandson of the Bollywood icon Raj Kapoor, cousin of Kareena and Karisma Kapoor, etc, etc.
