Whenever the names of Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai are mentioned together, the conversation inevitably drifts toward their past relationship and their iconic collaboration in the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. Recently, Zaid Darbar, son of music director Ismail Darbar and husband of actress Gauahar Khan, stirred nostalgia by sharing a charming childhood anecdote.
During a podcast appearance, Zaid recounted his time on the film sets when he was just 8 or 9 years old. His father, Ismail Darbar, was the music composer for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali masterpiece. Zaid recalled being present during the filming of the legendary song 'Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje'.
An Innocent Encounter on Set
According to Zaid, Aishwarya Rai approached him and asked if he could call Salman Khan over. "I was standing quite far from Salman Sir and kept shouting—Salman, Salman, Salman," Zaid shared. Despite the strict protocols on set, Zaid was able to interact because his father was working there.
When Salman Khan arrived, he playfully asked Zaid how his father was related to him. When Zaid admitted he didn't know, Salman explained that his father was like a brother to him. This led to a hilarious logical conclusion by the young Zaid: if Salman was his 'Uncle' (Chacha), then Aishwarya must be his 'Aunt' (Chachi).
Zaid Darbar's innocent slip of the tongue and Salman Khan's spontaneous laughter highlight the human side of superstars behind the glamour.
