In a surprising revelation that has recently taken social media by storm, it has come to light that Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Salman Khan shared screen space in the same film back in 2000. The movie in question is the romantic drama "Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke," directed by Raj Kanwar. While Aishwarya and Abhishek played the lead roles, Salman Khan made a cameo appearance.
"Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke" was released in 2000, a time when Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai's off-screen romance was highly publicized. The couple reportedly fell in love while filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and dated for nearly three years before parting ways in 2002. Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's love story began later, culminating in their marriage in April 2007. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in November 2011.
The scene featuring all three actors has now gone viral, sparking considerable interest and discussion among Bollywood enthusiasts. In the clip, Salman Khan is seen as a truck driver with Abhishek Bachchan sitting next to him. Aishwarya's character is shown attempting to hitch a ride, but Salman drives past her without stopping. Later in the scene, he drops Abhishek off at his destination.
"Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke" is a romantic drama. The film follows Karan (Abhishek Bachchan), who pretends to be married to Sahiba (Aishwarya Rai). As they spend time together, Karan faces a dilemma when he starts developing feelings for Sahiba.
While "Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke" might be lesser known compared to other films starring Aishwarya, Abhishek, or Salman, its unique casting quirk has made it a topic of discussion. Aishwarya and Abhishek have starred in several films together, including "Kuch Naa Kaho," "Umrao Jaan," "Dhoom 2," "Guru," "Sarkar Raj," and "Raavan".
On the work front, Salman Khan is currently hosting "Bigg Boss 19" and will be seen in "Battle of Galwan," a film inspired by the 2020 India-China border clash. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam's "Ponniyin Selvan: II" (2023), and Abhishek Bachchan recently starred in "Kaalidhar Laapata," which premiered on ZEE5 in August.
The resurfaced clip from "Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke" serves as a reminder of the intertwined personal and professional lives within the Bollywood industry. It highlights a moment in time when the paths of these three iconic actors crossed in an unexpected way, creating a unique piece of Bollywood history.
