If Raj Aryan and Megha made us known in Mohabbatein, Dev and Paro have been powdered The Devdas of Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been engraved in our memories. Even when their couple did not play the love interest of everyone, but rather, brother and sister, on the screen, in Josh, fans loved it too. Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan) were all the rage in the late 90s and early 2000s. So, when Shah Rukh decided to embody Aish in his home production, Chalte Chalte, the new one been welcomed by the fans. However, King Khan soon had to remove it from the film – discovery.

According to old reports, Aishwarya, alleged to have had a relationship with Salman Khan, would have started shooting for Chalte Chalte with SRK, but one day Salman was drunk on the movie sets and created a ruckus who was sapping SRK. He immediately had Aishwarya replaced by Rani Mukerji.

Later, SRK also was excused in public for this case and had stated that it was an error on his part and an injustice of Aish for what he had done . However, he also added that while it is not Aishwarya's fault, as a producer, he felt it was the right thing to do.

"It is very difficult to start a project with someone, and then change it without fail. It's very sad because Ash is a good friend. Personally, I think I was wrong. But as a producer, that made sense. I apologized to Ash, "Shah Rukh said.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also reacted after being replaced in the film. The actress opened up on the subject in an episode of Rendevous with Simi Garewal, after the host asked her why SRK had her replaced not only by Chalte Chalte, but also by Veer Zaara, Yash Chopra, and other films.

"How can I get the answer to this question? Yes, at the time, there were some films we were going to work on together. And then, all of a sudden, they did not happen anymore, without any explanation. I have never had the answer to why. "

However, the two Bollywood stars have come a long way since then and have solved their problems, but we have not yet managed to see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan appear on the big screen as # 39 main actors. We saw them sharing the screen space in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil of Ranbir Kapoor. When promoting his latest film, Fanney Khan, Aish had also revealed to Rajeev Masand that Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan had offered him the lead role in Happy New Year, but that she had refused. As a result, the role went to Deepika Padukone. Well, we certainly hope that SRK and Aish will have a project that they will soon enjoy and that they will come back to entertain us on the big screen.
