One wrote, “Around the time Rani replaced Aishwarya in Chalte Chalte, I read in a gossip column in The Telegraph that Rani used to call Aishwarya ‘didi’. And that their relationship never recovered after the Chalte Chalte ‘betrayal’. After Abhishek Bachan’s engagement with Karisma was called off, for a time there were rumors of Rani being with him. When Aishwarya came into the picture, the word in the gossip columns was that Jaya had a hand in replacing Rani with Aishwarya as the Bachan bahu.” Another wrote, “The gossip columns were dead set Abhi and Rani were going to get married instead.” Other one wrote, “Well Rani had the last laugh considering Ash looks like she's in a hostage situation most of the time.” ALSO READ: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan And Navya Naveli's Old Pic Goes Viral Amid Their Family Feud Rumours Post Paris Fashion Week 2023 - SEE PIC
