REVEALED! The reason why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starred in Aamir Khan’s ‘Mela’

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is riding high on the success of her latest flick Sarbjit. The biopic narrates the story of an Indian incarcerated in a Pakistani prison and his fiery sister who fights for his release. Randeep Hooda has played the titular role with the Bachchan bahu as his onscreen sister.

The actress who was on a hiatus since the birth of her daughter Aaradhya, had made an outstanding comeback with Sanjay Gupta’s thriller ‘Jazbaa’. This is her second film that has gone on to be much appreciated by her fans. Recently the actress had a short bout of nostalgia in course of an interview in which revealed that she too was a part of Aamir Khan and Twinkle Khanna starrer ‘Mela’. Though the film was a failure at the box office, it remained etched in the minds of the viewers for its star cast comprising of Aamir Khan, Faisal Khan, Twinkle Khanna and a special appearance by Aishwarya Rai.

So how did Ash who was much in demand during that period, agree to do a special appearance? The truth is just amazing. Aishwarya Rai, in an interview with Rajeev Masand, revealed how she agreed to do it. She said, “Aamir (Khan) and I had done a commercial. We did many commercials, later on we did many world tours. I remember after the world tour, we had all become really, really close and he said that ‘there is this movie, just one shot at the end but it’s not with me, it’s with my brother Faisal (Khan)’. And the rebel that I am, I’m most definitely going to do it.”
