Did you know that Dipika Chikhlia, who shot to fame for her role as Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, auditioned for the film? However, Raj Kapoor rejected her for the role.
In an interview, Dipika Chikhlia reportedly recalled how she felt after being rejected. But, she admitted that she later understood the reason why she was turned down for the role. Talking about her career, Deepika shared that she wanted to work in films but had rejected many scripts as she did not want to do bold films.
He came to know that the famous director Raj Kapoor was working on a film called Ram Teri Ganga Maili. Assuming that the film’s name has Ram in the title and is under the RK banner, she thought it would be a religious or family film and went to audition for the role of Ganga Singh, which was later offered to Mandakini.
