Here we are talking about drama romance 'Devdas,' which is counted among iconic films and its evergreen songs are hummed by people of every generation. Shah Rukh and Aishwarya left their mark with their sizzling chemistry in the film. Especially in the song More Piya. However, the surprising thing is that in one of the most beautiful scenes of that song, Aishwarya was with Salman Khan and not SRK. How Salman Khan Became Part Of Devdas
Salman Khan was present on the sets of Devdas even after his break-up with Aishwarya Rai. After acting in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, an intense and turbulent relationship began between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai. Bollywood film critic Anupama Chopra has mentioned an incident that happened on the sets involving Salman and Aishwarya in her book King of Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema.
In her book, Anupama said that on the day Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were shooting for the song 'More Piya,' Salman was present on the set. In one scene, 'Devdas' had to remove a thorn from 'Paro's' feet. It was a romantic scene, which was filmed very beautifully. This particular shot was a close-up shot, in which the faces of both the stars were not visible. When Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were shooting this scene, Salman went ahead and started showing Shah Rukh how to do it. Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan's Last On-Screen Appearance
Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali kept the camera rolling while Salman was removing the thorn from Aishwarya aka 'Paro's' feet. The moment was adorable as it was the last time the ex-couple of Bollywood was together on the sets. Meanwhile, a close-up shot of Salman and Aishwarya made it to the final cut of the film and it was the last time they were seen together on screen, albeit for a few seconds of the song.
Devdas was selected as India's entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 75th Academy Awards. It was picked by the Film Federation of India (FFI) instead of the fantasy movie Agni Varsha, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…, Mondo Meyer Upakhyan, Saanjhbatir Roopkathara, Kannathil Muthamittal, and The Legend of Bhagat Singh.
