Not Shehnaaz Gill, but Choti Sarrdaarni actress Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia was the first choice for Honsla Rakh?

Shehnaaz Gill, who shot to fame as Punjab Ki Katrina Kaif with her Bigg Boss 13 stint, will be seen with Diljit Dosanjh, Sonam Bajwa and Shinda Grewal in the upcoming Punjabi film titled Honsla Rakh. Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, the film will release on October 15. Honsla Rakh is Shehnaaz's first film after Bigg Boss 13. In the comedy film revolving around unwanted 'good news', Shehnaaz plays Diljit's wife. Fans certainly loved the actress's performance in the trailer and declared it a blockbuster. But did you know that Shehnaaz wasn't the first choice for the role?
