Bollywood Sanjay Leela Bhansali opened up on his equation with Aishwarya Rai.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aishwarya Rai were considered to be a dream team in Bollywood with movies like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas.
Both Sanjay and Aishwarya shared a wonderful friendship, have had their share of ups and downs as revealed by the filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in an earlier interaction.
In a 2004 appearance on Koffee with Karan, the prolific filmmaker spoke about the time when Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan had decided never to work together again after their relationship ended. This put the Devdas director in a dilemma as he had envisioned the two of them together in Bajirao Mastani. Speaking on the same, Sanjay told Karan, "I was very hurt by the fact that Aishwarya was not being Mastani. For me, she is a central part of my work. So is my friendship with Salman. I was in a dilemma, I wanted to stand by her too."
On the other hand, it was clear that Aishwarya was not keen to play Mastani if Salman Khan was playing Bajirao. She added, “We had talked about this, and he had been wonderful. Yes, it was his vision and saw us working together, but circumstantially I could not work with the kind of team he was looking at, and he was fine. I was game to play Mastani but not with the Bajirao he had in my mind."
