Mumbai: It would have been a scene worth watching if ex-lovers Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would have come face-to-face!

The shooting of three films were going on in Mumbai`s Mehboob Studios. Salman Khan was shooting for ‘Veer’, Aishwarya Rai for Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s ‘Guzaarish’ while Ranbir Kapoor was busy with ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year’. Eavesdroppers, journos and eye-witnesses were waiting for some juicy tale to ooze out. Everyone was hoping for the stars to rub against each other but Sallu for once disappointed all.

Although there were stories of Sallu’s girl Katrina’s link-up with Ranbir, but he chose the actor’s company over his ex-girlfriend. The two men had lunch before going back to their shoots. Salman even avoided meeting good friend Sanjay Leela Bhansali to stay away from Aishwarya. And everybody missed the fun…
