Armaan Kohli is responsible for me being a star: SRK
Actor Armaan Kohli, who is under the Narcotics Control Bureau's scanner in a drugs-related investigation, has had many false starts in his career. After making his debut in 1992's Virodhi, the actor made somewhat of a comeback a decade later with Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani. Later, in another bid to revive his career, he appeared in the seventh season of Bigg Boss.

But did you know that the actor was offered a role in the film Deewana, which eventually went to Shah Rukh Khan in his feature film debut? Armaan in a 2015 interview spoke about not doing the film, and how he has no regrets.
Not just Deewana, Armaan said that he has 'lost a lot of films'. He said, "Every film that I've left, 80% were super-hits' big, big superstars have come into the industry because of that." He said that he hadn't spoken to Shah Rukh about the situation, and admitted that had he been in the film, it might not have been as successful.
When Shah Rukh Khan said 'Armaan Kohli is responsible for making me a star'
In 2016, Shah Rukh Khan attended the TV show Yaaron Ki Baarat, which he attended with close bud Anushka Sharma. The two stars were a riot on the show and gave the audience many fun moments.
SRK also spoke about Deewana and how he was not the first choice of the film. Armaan Kohli was set to star in Deewana opposite the late actress Divya Bharti, but walked out of the film after completing the first shooting schedule. SRK said, "Armaan Kohli is responsible for me being a star. He featured on the Deewana poster with late Divya Bharti. I still have that poster. Thank you for making me a star,"
We know that Deewana became a blockbuster hit raising king Khan's star status like ever.
The NCB on Saturday conducted a raid at Armaan Kohli's Mumbai house, where drugs were recovered after a six-hour search. News agency ANI reported that after the raid, an NCB team took Armaan to its office. Drugs were recovered from his house during the search. He was arrested on Sunday.
