      Mohabbatein is celebrated as one of the iconic cult romantic films, even decades after its release in 2000. The film served as a launching pad for several newcomers, including Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani.

      In a recent chat on Kunickaa Sadanand's YouTube channel, Kim Sharma opened up about her journey and the unexpected path that led her to Mohabbatein.

      She recounted a critical moment during her audition when Karan Johar expressed doubt about her potential, candidly telling her, "You don't know how to dance or deliver dialogues; why do you want to become a heroine?"

      Kim revealed that her entry into the film industry was serendipitous. She was spotted by the Yash Raj Films team in a commercial, which led them to contact her mother.

      Unaware of Kim's passion and frequent travels, her mother initially rejected the offer. It was only when YRF approached Kim directly that she decided to seize the opportunity.

      Her road to securing the role in Mohabbatein involved multiple auditions. After initial rounds with Nikkhil Advani and then Karan Johar, it was her third audition with Aditya Chopra that sealed the deal. Kim reflected on this journey as a moment of coming full circle, as she now works for Karan’s organization.

      Despite landing a leading role alongside iconic stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, Kim admitted that her parents did not even congratulate her, and the magnitude of the opportunity only dawned on her much later.
