Old video of Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai dancing on Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge song resurfaces. Watch
The song 'Tujhe Dekha Toh' from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge is as iconic as the film itself. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles, the film and its music defined an entire generation's idea of love and romance. However, in a video that has resurfaced online, the fans get a glimpse of what the film would have looked like in a parallel universe, as actors Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan can be seen dancing together on the track. Their chemistry in the video has left viewers wondering—what if?
While Aishwarya is dressed in an elegant pink lehenga, Aamir can be seen wearing a leather jacket similar to the iconic one that Shah Rukh Khan wore in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Both actors seem to be giving it their all at what looks like an award function, and Aamir even gets on his knees in the middle of the choreography. Sung by Kumar Sanu and the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, everything from the song's lyrics to visuals became etched in people's minds and still remains an important track from the careers of everyone involved in it.

There have been other instances of 'what-if?' situations with Aamir and Aishwarya, as director Dharmesh Darshan revealed in an interview that he wanted to cast Aishwarya opposite Aamir on several occasions. Darshan told Bollywood Hungama that Aishwarya was his first choice for both Mela and the role of Memsaab in Raja Hindustani (1999), but he was worried if she would be able to give her full attention to the films. He said, 'She was also my first choice for the role of Memsaab in Raja Hindustani (1996). My heart was on her. But she urgently had to go for Miss World. I didn't want to take any chances, as I wanted an actress who could devote her full time to the film and Bollywood. It was her sheer grace that she didn't hold it in her heart.'
The duo could have also worked together in the film Josh (2000), as director Mansoor Khan wanted to cast Aamir Khan as the romantic interest of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but things didn't go according to plan. In an interview, Mansoor said, 'I was intending to cast Aamir as the romantic lead opposite Aishwarya. But when I narrated the script to Aamir, he thought he was playing Max. Then I went to Shah Rukh; he was really excited about Max. I narrated it to him; he suggested a lot of things for Max's character.' Mansoor admitted that casting both Aamir and Shah Rukh in the same film didn't work out, and he ultimately had to drop the plan.

After Gadar 2, it became possible, and Aamir came to me straight away and told me that he would want to do this film, and I was very happy.' He added, 'Raj and I have given three films in the past that had intensity and depth of characters. So, that's what this subject has definitely.
