Aishwarya Rai & Salman Khan rift takes a toll on film promotion

The past seems to be haunting both Aishwarya Rai- Bachchan and Salman Khan. No matter how much they try to avoid confronting each other and move on in life, destiny brings them on a “ warpath”. Recently when the Action Replayy team was shooting an episode for Sony’s KBC with Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya was nowhere to be seen. Her co- actor Akshay Kumar, who came in the retro avataar for the quiz show, didn’t reveal reasons about her absence. “ I don’t know. Please ask (producer director) Vipul Shah about it,” said Akki.

However, Neha Dhupia, who was present at the reality quiz show, unraveled the mystery.

“ The amount won by the Action Replayy team will be donated to Salman Khan’s charitable organisation Being Human.” Now we understand why the blued- eyed beauty was little interested in raising funds for the charity organisation. The promotion of her other film Guzaarish on Bigg Boss also hit a hurdle as Salman Khan has apparently told Colours that he didn’t want to share a platform with Ash.

Rumours are ripe that the channel will placate Salman and get only Hrithik Roshan and producer director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to promote their film on the show. Earlier Aishwarya didn’t have time to promote her films, now when she is willing; circumstances are forcing her to stay away from the limelight.
