Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan marked the B-town industry with their scintillating chemistry onscreen. Starting from Devdas to Josh, and then Mohabbatein. However, things got a bit cold between them, when the two were shooting for Chalte Chalte, and Salman Khan, Aish’s Ex beau used to create ruckus at the sets, which left SRK with no other option but to replace her with Rani Mukherji. However, it wasn’t just Chalte Chalte, but the actress was replaced by the actor in other movies too, one of which is Veer Zaara, as stated in Bollywood Life.
Opening about the same at Simi Garewal’s chat show, Aishwarya said, “Yes at that time there were discussions about some such films that we were going to do together but then suddenly something happened that I was thrown out of those films. I don’t even know why this happened? At that time you do not even have an answer. For a while, you just keep wondering why this happened. If someone feels that he should answer, then he answers, if he does not want to answer then it is clear that he never wanted it. I don’t even go to ask anyone why I did this, it is not in me. By the grace of God, others don’t tell me what I am.”
However, later in 2009, at Karan Johar’s birthday bash, SRK apologised to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for not helping her during her crisis, to which Aishwarya forgave him too. Following that, the Khan couple and Junior Bachchan along with Aishwarya Rai went to SRK’s Mannat, and had a gala time together, as stated in the same web portal mentioned above.
