Kim Sharma made her acting debut in Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) 2000 romantic drama Mohabbatein, but her performance didn’t receive much praise. Recently, she reminisced about her audition for the film in front of Karan Johar, where he candidly remarked “Tumhe dance karna nahi aata, dialogue bolna nahi aata; kyun heroine banna chahti ho?”
In her chat with Kunickaa Sadanand on YouTube, Kim Sharma shared that her journey into movies was somewhat unexpected.
It was shared that Yash Raj Films (YRF) had spotted an advertisement she had made earlier and first reached out to her mother, who wasn’t aware of the situation and turned down the offer. Kim then disclosed that her mother didn’t know about her location because she was away traveling at the moment.
The actress went on to say that she eventually received a call personally and decided to go for it, although she had no idea about the opportunity knocking at her door, since acting in films was never her priority. She added that she was only 18 years old when she signed Mohabbatein and was simply going with the flow.
Reflecting on her unimpressive audition with Karan Johar, Kim Sharma shared that she had auditioned three times — first with assistant director Nikkhil Advani and then with Karan.
She noted how life had come full circle, as she now works for Karan’s organization. However, she recalled that during her initial audition, Karan was not very impressed with her performance.
Kim went on to reveal that Karan bluntly told her, “You don’t know how to dance or deliver dialogues; why do you want to become a heroine?” In response, Kim admitted that she had no real desire to become an actor and was only there because she had been asked to audition.
She expressed that she felt relatively unbothered regarding the final result. Later on, it was Aditya Chopra who evaluated her third audition, and he appreciated her acting skills.
The actress added that both she and her kin were unaware of the movie business. She clarified that movies had no role in her upbringing.
Signing the film felt like an ordinary day for her, and her parents didn’t even congratulate her. Kim further added that even after meeting stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, she hadn’t fully grasped the significance of the opportunity she had been given.
