Salman Khan's Unexpected 'Devdas' Cameo: Stepped In for Shah Rukh in Aishwarya Rai Romantic Scene After Breakup

A surprising detail has emerged from the set of the Bollywood classic, 'Devdas'. While the on-screen chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai in the song 'Morey Piya' is celebrated, a key romantic moment was actually filmed with Salman Khan.

The scene in question involves Devdas tenderly removing a thorn from Paro's foot. According to Anupama Chopra's book, Salman Khan was present on set during the 'Morey Piya' shoot. He unexpectedly stepped in to demonstrate the scene to Shah Rukh Khan, despite his difficult relationship with Aishwarya at the time.

Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali kept the cameras rolling during this impromptu demonstration. The footage of Salman gently removing the thorn from Aishwarya's foot was ultimately included in the final cut of 'Devdas'. This marked the last time the former couple shared screen space.

The romance between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai began during the filming of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. However, their relationship ended amidst controversy. Journalist Hanif Zaveri recounted an incident where Salman allegedly created a disturbance outside Aishwarya's residence.

Following the breakup, Aishwarya was linked to Vivek Oberoi. There were reports of Salman's possessive behavior towards Aishwarya, leading to her removal from the film 'Chalte Chalte'. Aishwarya later married Abhishek Bachchan. Salman Khan remains unmarried.
