Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was released on 18 June 1999. This year the film will complete its 26 years. The pair of Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai liked the audience very much.

The film is based on Love Triangle, which has two fans of Aishwarya’s character.

The acting of Nandini, who became Nandini’s husband in the film, was also praised for the acting of Ajay Devgan. His role and the style of loving his wife made the audience a fan.

However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first choice for Nandini’s role in this film was not Aishwarya Rai. According to the reports, the director did not want to take risk with any other actress.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first choice was none other than Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri Dixit was chosen for the role of filmmaker Nandini.

But the actress had the issue of dates. She already had many projects in her hand, due to which she could not become a part of this film.

By then Aishwarya Rai had won the title of Miss World and worked in Tamil films. After this, the filmmaker took the risk of casting Aishwarya.

Aishwarya Rai played Nandini in the film and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was a super hit. The audience liked their pair with Salman Khan very much. But after this film, both of them never appeared together in a film.
