Jee Le Zaraa: WHAT! Priyanka Chopra And Alia Bhatt Chooses To NOT Wish Katrina Kaif Happy Birthday; Here’s WHY?

The actress Katrina Kaif recently turned 40. Celebrities from all over the industry sent their best wishes. Farhan Akhtar, Alia Bhatt, and Priyanka Chopra did not wish her, though. This occurred when casting rumours for 'Jee Le Zaraa' continued to swirl around the departure and entrance of fresh actors.

As birthday greetings from within the industry and outside of it came in, Katrina Kaif reposted them on her Instagram stories while also including notes and 'thank yous' after each repost. Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt, who were both slated to co-star with Katrina in ‘Jee Le Zaraa,’ were conspicuously missing from Katrina's extensive list of requests. Farhan Akhtar also neglected to wish Katrina a happy birthday.

While it wouldn't have been Farhan's first collaboration, it would have been Katrina's first with Priyanka. Farhan and Katrina previously appeared together on screen in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' (2011). The strangest aspect of this issue is Alia Bhatt not congratulating Katrina on her birthday given that the two have previously had cordial relations.

Since it was first announced in August 2021, the movie has been delayed multiple times, ultimately forcing Farhan Akhtar to put it on hold. Although Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif were cast as strong leading ladies, scheduling difficulties seem to have stood in the way.

According to rumours, Alia didn't have any dates open due to her obligations to 'Baiju Bawra' and 'Ramayana,' however Priyanka was prepared to begin production in 2024. Priyanka and Katrina have recently left the project, and replacements have speculated many names like Kiara Advani, Anushka Sharma, and Kareena Kapoor.
