But did you know that Ameesha was not the first choice to play the role of Sakina in Gadar? As per certain reports Kajol and Neelam were being considered for the role however director Anil later refuted those claims and said that Neelam was never approached. He said that many big Bollywood actresses were approached for the role but they either didn’t like the role or didn’t want to be part of a period film.

Around 400 auditions reportedly happened for Sakina’s role but ultimately the role went to Ameesha Patel after a 12 hour audition.
