Years later, a video surfaced on Reddit showing Shah Rukh Khan discussing the decision. He expressed regret over replacing Aishwarya, whom he called a close friend and one of his favorite co-actresses. SRK reflected on their past collaborations in films like ‘Josh,’ ‘Mohabbatein,’ and ‘Devdas,’ and shared his sadness over the situation.
Shah Rukh mentioned that as a producer, his hands were tied since he wasn’t the sole decision-maker. The replacement decision involved about 10-11 people, as the reputation of Red Chillies was at stake. Despite the professional reasoning, SRK conveyed his personal admiration for Aishwarya and his regret over the entire affair.
Released in 2003, ‘Chalte Chalte’ starred Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Satish Shah. The film was a hit, loved by fans worldwide, but the behind-the-scenes story of Aishwarya’s replacement remains a notable filmy fact.
