Did you know, not Shah Rukh Khan but Salman Khan shot for THIS romantic scene with Aishwarya Rai in Devdas after breakup?
A surprising fact from Devdas surfaces. Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai's ex, stepped in for Shah Rukh Khan during the 'Morey Piya' song shoot. He demonstrated how Devdas removes a thorn from Paro's foot. This unplanned moment was captured on camera. It became their last on-screen appearance together. Their romance ended after a troubling incident. Aishwarya later married Abhishek Bachchan. Here's a surprising behind-the-scenes twist from Devdas you probably didn't know. While Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai 's chemistry in the iconic song Morey Piya left fans spellbound, one of the most intimate scenes from the track—where Devdas removes a thorn from Paro's foot—wasn't filmed with Shah Rukh at all. It was actually Salman Khan who performed the gesture on set. Despite their rocky breakup, the moment was captured and made it into the film, marking the last time the former couple ever shared screen space. In her book, Anupama Chopra revealed that during the shoot of the Morey Piya song in Devdas, Salman was present on set while Shah Rukh and Aishwarya filmed a romantic scene where Devdas delicately removes a thorn from Paro's foot. The scene, meant to be intimate and sensuous, was shot in close-up without showing the actors' faces. Unexpectedly, Salman stepped in during the shoot and began demonstrating to Shah Rukh how to perform the gesture—despite his strained equation with Aishwarya at the time. Interestingly, Sanjay Leela Bhansali kept the camera rolling while Salman demonstrated the scene by gently removing a thorn from Aishwarya's foot—marking an unplanned but emotional moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo That brief interaction ended up being their last time on a film set together. The close-up shot of Salman and Aishwarya was eventually included in the final cut of Devdas, making those few seconds in Morey Piya the last time the former couple shared screen space. Salman and Aishwarya's romance blossomed during the filming of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, but their relationship soon took a turbulent turn. According to senior film journalist Hanif Zaveri on the Meri Saheli podcast, the two were serious about each other until a troubling incident occurred—Salman reportedly caused a scene outside Aishwarya's residence, banging on her door when she didn't respond. Following that episode, Aishwarya ended the relationship and was later rumoured to be involved with Vivek Oberoi . Though Hanif Zaveri claimed that the rumours of Aishwarya dating Vivek were untrue and allegedly fabricated by Vivek for publicity, the aftermath of her breakup with Salman remained widely discussed. Several reports alleged that Salman had been a controlling and obsessive partner, with instances of harassment and stalking. He was also reportedly involved in Aishwarya's ouster from Chalte Chalte, where Shah Rukh Khan replaced her. Years later, Aishwarya found stability and married Abhishek Bachchan . Salman, meanwhile, remains a bachelor, despite a few high-profile relationships since.

Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Romantic Track ‘Humsafar' Brings Together Mohit Suri & Sachet-Parampara
Last Updated: Mohit Suri reveals Aditya Chopra suggested Sachet-Parampara for Saiyaara's 'Humsafar'. The film, starring Ahaan Panday, releases on July 18, 2025. The fourth track from Yash Raj Films' much-anticipated romantic drama Saiyaara is finally here—and it's a tender, melodic gem titled Humsafar. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara is already making waves with its chart-topping music, and Humsafar adds yet another heartfelt dimension to its soaring soundtrack. What makes Humsafar even more special is that it marks the first-ever collaboration between director Mohit Suri and the hit music duo Sachet-Parampara. In a behind-the-scenes video shared on Instagram, Suri opened up about how this collaboration came to be, crediting none other than Aditya Chopra for making the introduction. 'Adi sir asked me if I had worked with Sachet-Parampara," Suri revealed. 'It took me by surprise because he himself hadn't worked with them before. But his recommendation brought them on board, and I'm glad it did." The result is a soul-stirring composition that captures a new season of love between the film's lead pair—debutant Ahaan Panday and rising star Aneet Padda, who gained critical acclaim for her role in Big Girls Don't Cry. The romantic album of Saiyaara has already been receiving unanimous praise for its music. Tracks like the Saiyaara title song, Jubin Nautiyal's 'Barbaad', and Vishal Mishra's 'Tum Ho Toh' have all struck an emotional chord with listeners, and Humsafar is no different, continuing the album's winning streak. Produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara will see the big-screen launch of Ahaan Panday, who steps into the limelight as the newest YRF hero. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on July 18, 2025. First Published: June 29, 2025, 20:20 IST
