MPKDH was directed by a director who had back to back blockbuster movies and kareena HR movie messed up his track, if I am wrong let me know on this. Every HR Kareena did together was a flop movie except the movie they did with srk kajol.
bhansali with amisha would've been great but I am glad Rani was chosen for Chalte Chalte, she makes great pairing with srk and looked pretty in the movie. Rani is a better actor than amisha.
I liked saif's pairing with preity and rani but yes loved him with preity though. saif kareena have flop movies together but saif kareena make the best off screen pairing, they go together. kareena looked older than shahid so I thought her with saif is better choice. And I do believe people change in real life so maybe she has changed for the better personality or maybe she didn't, not sure. But she seemed calm, nice and relax now which is good for her.
speaking of shahid, amrita rao said that there was an actress that has a name starting with K, was very negative towards her. I can see why kareena would be mean to amrita because she made the best pairing with shahid and they looked like a real life couple, I think amrita loved shahid but shahid decided to be with kareena. Amrita and kareena did a movie together after that and amrita said they didn't have problems with each other, cordial with each other so maybe kareena changed for the better.
Yes, I'd have liked to have seen Amisha on KWK as well.
Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon was a Sooraj Barjatya film. I didn't even realize it was one of his because it's so different compared to Hum Saath Saath Hain or Hum Aapke Hain Koun which were blockbusters. Same with Main Pyar Kiya. He also did Vivah after which was a hit so that also seems to suggest you are right that Amrita was talking about Kareena.
K3G was indeed the only successful Hrithik/Kareena film and it's not even their film. Out of the 6 main cast members, Kareena is lowest on the totem pole with the least starpower. Audiences came to see SKR and Kajol again especially in another KJo directorial after DDLJ and KKHH. They came to see SRK and Big B onscreen again after Mohabbatein, the two biggest actors. They came to see breakout star Hrithik with SRK and Big B. Also Jaya and Big B reunited onscreen after 20 years since Silsila. Kareena had no starpower back then. She only got the role because of KJo. All her films were mostly flops in this period and in fact, K3G was basically her only solid hit for her early career precisely because it wasn't her film. I've read an interview of hers from that time where she even admits that this film isn't really hers and she's only got a couple of scenes. It shows that her films with Hrithik afterwards were all flops because it means that even with the success of K3G, audiences were not interested in them as a pairing.
Chalte Chalte has a very jinxed track record with its actresses. Besides what we now know about Amisha, Aishwarya was also up for the role and actually got it before Salman's drunken rampage. In fact, Kareena was known for making cheap jokes about this incident and how Aishwarya was a risk on sets because of Salman. Another thing to consider is that this was one of SRK/Juhi's joint produced films. At this point, Juhi was always his actress in their produced films. It was only because Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani was a flop that Juhi's career as a leading lady ended. Had the film succeeded, more than likely she'd have been automatically SRK's heroine in Chalte Chalte. Instead she ended up being downgraded to his sister-in-law like in Paheli.
Saif/Kareena pairing in films is awful. I remember the media gave them a lot of criticism wondering why they have zero onscreen chemistry together. Kareena claimed it's because real life couples use all their chemistry offscreen but that doesn't account for her with Hrithik and Shahid. I can see what you mean that she looks older than Shahid, especially now. He still looks very young, like next to Kriti and Kiara, whereas Kareena has visibly aged especially around the face. And Tabu and Kareena are now treated like contemporaries in The Crew but Tabu played Shahid's mom in Haider. I remember the Kareena/Imran Khan pairing used to seem off to me too. She felt very old like his massi in comparison to him and their films were never successful at the box office either.
I didn't know Amrita said she was bullied by an actress starting with the name K but it must have been Kareena. This was way before the Katrinas or Kiaras. We know Kareena's track record with outsider actresses and Amrita has said in interviews about the difference between PR stars and self-made stars. Vivah being a hit after Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon also indicates that Kareena was jealous of Amrita and gave her a hard time. Also keep in mind that Hrithik and Amisha were originally supposed to do the roles of Lucky and Sanjana in Main Hoon Na. When Hrithik became too big of a star, he wouldn't take a supporting role against SRK again, but I can see Kareena feeling that this role of Sanju in Main Hoon Na should have belonged to her had she done Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
Shahid and Amrita had tons of chemistry and were a beloved pairing. I never knew Amrita may have had feelings for him, how sad. But I've heard Shahid was never a good romantic partner and very controlling. Vidya has talked about how he used to shame her for her weight. And many people say his wife mostly does whatever he tells her to do.
I didn't know Amrita and Kareena did a movie together but looking it up, I can see why Kareena would not have problems with Amrita anymore since her films were no longer doing well and she and Shahid had not been a thing in years. Amrita was also heavily bullied by Esha Deol. There are stories here about how Esha Deol actually beat her up in front of everyone, after aggressively taunting her for months on set. Esha and Kareena used to be best friends so this also indicates to me that if Esha hated Amrita so much, Kareena definitely would have. The pattern I'm seeing is that the film family actors always stick together no matter what. And they even look down on the film families who are not as important. Like I know Hrithik got a lot of dislike from BW society because his father was not considered that important an actor. The Bachchans were said to have completely ignored him on K3G because they were jealous that this "nobody" beat their son in debuts.
