Not Shah Rukh Khan, this superstar was supposed to feature with Aishwarya Rai in iconic scene of..., he is...
In the early 2000s, a film arrived that blended grandeur, emotion, and star power like never before. With a magnetic lead pair whose chemistry lit up the screen, the story unfolded across generations, bound by love, duty, and heartbreak. Supported by some of the industry's most iconic performers, this cinematic saga became more than just a film, it became an emotion for its audience. Released in 2002, the movie didn't just offer a narrative but created unforgettable moments, dialogues, and visuals that still resonate. The 2002 Iconic Film Devdas 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.

Aishwarya Rai once romanced with Salman Khan after breaking up with him, was involved in this intimate scene, film is…
It's been over two decades since Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave us all a cinematic masterpiece, Devdas . Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the 2002 epic became a global sensation, celebrated for its grandeur, timeless music, and emotionally charged performances. But very few know, Salman Khan was also part of this iconic film… just not in the way you'd expect. The hidden cameo Though Devdas is remembered for Shah Rukh and Aishwarya's searing chemistry, film critic Anupama Chopra's book quietly reveals a forgotten anecdote: Salman Khan appeared in a scene during the song More Piya . The moment is romantic—a barefoot Aishwarya, a thorn, and a gentle gesture. But here's the twist: the scene was performed with no visible faces. Sanjay Leela Bhansali rolled the camera During the filming of More Piya , Salman Khan, despite a recent breakup with Aishwarya, visited the set out of friendship with Bhansali. As Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were preparing for the scene, Salman reportedly stepped forward and enacted the moment himself, guiding the actors. In a spontaneous decision, Bhansali let the camera roll as Salman delicately enacted Dev removing a thorn from Paro's foot. Though only hands and feet are shown, the final cut of the film features this emotionally nuanced shot—an intimate moment captured between two former lovers, without showing their faces. This became the last time Salman and Aishwarya shared screen space. Their relationship had ended by the time Devdas was being shot. Still, Salman's presence on set and this quiet contribution speak volumes about the emotional layers behind the camera. For Bhansali, perhaps it was cinema above all. For viewers, it remains an untold chapter—until now.
