Did you know that Roopa Ganguly got ‘Mahabharat’ after Juhi Chawla turned down the role of ‘Draupadi’?

BR Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’ saw around 15,000 applicants audition, with 1,500 shortlisted for various roles. Juhi Chawla nearly played Draupadi but opted for a film career, leading to Roopa Ganguly’s selection. Recently, Roopa was arrested by Kolkata Police during a protest advocating for a fellow BJP member’s release, causing disruption to police duties.
