Divya Bharti's death

Divya Bharti was scheduled to play the role of Kaajal, but due to her sudden death in April 1993, she was replaced by Juhi Chawla. Divya Bharti had done 30% of the shooting. Some images of Bharti which were taken during the shoot are available on the Web. Shahrukh Khan was supposed to play the hero opposite Divya Bharti but rejected it. Dimple Kapadia has also signed the film to play the role of the mother, but she later refused due to Divya's Death. She had signed the role considering Divya as female lead, but after her death, Chawla was signed and Kapadia refused to play her mother-in-law, due to their (inadequate) age difference.
