It was rumoured that Sonam Kapoor was going to play the female lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan in director Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but the young actress says she was never offered the role.

In fact, she feels much relieved that Aditya Chopra has finalised Anushka Sharma for the female lead for his third directorial venture.

“Since the film was announced, speculation started about me being in the project. But I was never offered the film! I don’t know where this whole thing started, honestly,” Sonam, who debuted with Saawariya, told IANS.
