Devdas Turns 22: A Walk Down Memory Lane
Can you believe it’s been 22 saal since “Devdas” hit the screens? Directed by the maestro Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this film is nothing short of a classic. Itni iconic movie, but kya aapko pata hai ki behind the scenes, it was drama, drama, and more drama?
Salman’s Devdas Moment: Real Life Imitating Reel Life
First, let’s talk about our very own Bhaijaan, Salman Khan. Picture this: Salman lying outside Aishwarya Rai’s vanity van, trying to win her back. Yes, you heard that right! Salman aur Ash ka pyaar was the talk of the town back in the late 90s. But things took a nosedive, and their relationship became a nightmare. Allegedly, Salman’s excessive drinking and abusive behavior were the reasons for their breakup in 2000. Aur phir kya, it was all downhill from there.
When Salman Wanted To Be Devdas
Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi. Salman was so desperate to save his relationship that he practically became the real-life Devdas! According to journalist Anupama Chopra’s autobiography on Shah Rukh Khan, Salman was a regular on the sets of “Devdas,” trying to mend his broken relationship with Ash. Imagine, Salman lying drunk on the floor of Aishwarya’s trailer. What a scene, yaar!
The Thorny Scene: Quite Literally!
Here’s some inside scoop for you: Salman actually wanted to play Devdas! But Sanjay Leela Bhansali had already chosen Shah Rukh Khan for the role. Lekin Salman being Salman, he didn’t stop there. Remember the scene where SRK removes a thorn from Aishwarya’s foot? Well, Salman wanted to demonstrate it! SRK, being the gentleman he is, let him. And guess what? Bhansali rolled the cameras and captured that emotional moment, which made it to the final cut! Aishwarya was in tears, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Stellar Cast
Released in 2002, “Devdas” was a massive hit. It wasn’t just about SRK and Ash, though. The supporting cast was equally brilliant. Jackie Shroff, Kirron Kher, Smita Jaykar, and Vijayendra Ghatge added their own charm to the film.
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ka Tamasha!
Bollywood mein kya hai na, the drama behind the scenes is sometimes more entertaining than the film itself. Relationships come and go, but the camera captures it all. So next time you watch “Devdas,” remember the real-life Devdas who almost stole the show!
