There's nothing bigger than destiny, especially in the Hindi film industry, driven by luck by chance. There have been hundreds of examples where one actor's loss has turned out to be someone else's gain. The recent one is Arjun Kapoor, whose loss turned out to be Shahid Kapoor's gain. How? Well, speaking at the India Today Conclave, the actor spilled the beans on being offered this year's biggest blockbuster, Kabir Singh, before the other Kapoor came on board.

He also revealed what compelled him to turn the film down that turned the fortune of Shahid. Speaking about it, the actor said, "It did not reach that stage where I could choose or not. When the rights were being acquired by (producers) Ashwin (Varde) and Murad (Khetani), who made Mubarakan, they acquired keeping me in mind. Sandeep Vanga, the director had met Shahid and he had seen the film before and they decided to do the film together."
