Much before the Swara Bhaskar - Shah Rukh case, THIS young actress was asked to play Hrithik's mother!

Swara Bhaskar who's known to perform brilliantly in all her films migth have a release - Anaarkali of Aarah - this month, but she is in news for something else now. Allegedly, the Shah Rukh Khan fan that she is, she went to her mentor Aanand Rai and asked him to cast her in his next starring SRK.

And guess what the filmmaker said. He laughingly joked saying that none of the lead roles are left, except one - that of a mother. Now, the story has been twisted and used in different ways on several news portals. It was just a joke and nothing else. 

But much before this incident happened, do you know another young actress actually had to go through this? Yes, a much younger heroine was reportedly offered the role of Hrithik Roshan's mother in Agneepath. Who was the heroine? Richa Chadda!

Richa was 25 when she was approached for the role, which she politely declined. She has admitted to the incident many times on different shows and it's shocking given that she's 13 years younger than Hrithik. Ouch!
