Salman Khan scolds director over Aishwarya Rai during 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' shoot

Salman Khan showed possessiveness towards Aishwarya Rai during the filming of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.' Veteran actor Smita Jayakar recalled an incident where Salman scolded director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for touching Aishwarya while demonstrating a scene. This incident highlighted the intensity of their off-screen relationship. While their romance reportedly benefited the film, their later breakup affected future collaborations. Aishwarya chose not to work with Salman again, and a planned project with Bhansali was shelved. Salman made a cameo in Bhansali's 2007 film 'Saawariya,' but their next project, 'Inshallah,' was canceled due to creative differences.
