Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a superstar in her own right and is also happily married to Amitabh Bachchan's son, Abhishek Bachchan.

Aishwarya Rai was replaced in many films, including Shah Rukh Khan's Chalte Chalte after Salman Khan allegedly disrupted filming.
Chalte Chalte was released in 2003. Directed by Aziz Mirza, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles. Chalte Chalte was released in June 2003 and proved to be a commercial success at the box office.
Made on a budget of Rs 11 crore, it earned Rs 43.2 crore, however, many are unaware that before Rani Mukerji, Aishwarya Rai was supposed to star in the film opposite Shah Rukh Khan. In a recent interview, Aziz Mirza revealed that Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan began the shoot of Chalte Chalte by filming the song Prem Nagariya.
However, Aishwarya Rai was replaced by Rani Mukerji after just one day of shooting. In an interview with Radio Nasha Official, Aziz Mirza opened up about replacing Aishwarya Rai overnight and said, "I don’t know. Anyway, these are the areas we unfortunately.
