A Landmark Film in Salman and Aishwarya’s Careers

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is considered one of the most important films in the careers of both Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai. The 1999 romantic drama not only became a cult classic but also holds deep personal significance for the actors, as it was during this film that Salman and Aishwarya’s real-life relationship reportedly began. The film remains memorable for audiences and the actor himself.
Salman Wanted a Different Ending
According to reports shared by The Lallantop, Salman Khan was unhappy with the climax of the film and was in favor of changing the ending. However, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali chose to stick with the ending he had originally envisioned and filmed the movie accordingly.
What Was the Film’s Ending?
Released in 1999, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam starred Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Ajay Devgn in lead roles. The film received widespread critical acclaim and was a major box office success. Despite this, Salman Khan reportedly felt dissatisfied with the ending.
In the film, Aishwarya Rai’s character Nandini ultimately chooses Vanraj (played by Ajay Devgn) over Sameer (played by Salman Khan). Salman believed that Nandini should have ended up with Sameer, the character he portrayed.
Brief Story of the Film
Salman Khan played Sameer, an NRI who comes to India to learn classical music. During his training, he falls in love with his guru’s daughter, Nandini. When the guru discovers their relationship, he orders Sameer to leave. Later, Nandini marries Vanraj. Upon learning about Nandini and Sameer’s past, Vanraj selflessly helps reunite them. However, in the final moments, Nandini chooses Vanraj as her husband instead of returning to Sameer.
Mentioned in Salman Khan’s Biography
Salman Khan’s disappointment with the film’s ending has been mentioned by film journalist Mohan Basu in the biography The Sultan of Bollywood. According to the book, Salman once said in an interview during the promotions of Tere Naam that if he had directed Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, he would have shown a different ending.
Salman reportedly believed that love should rise above all traditions, while director Sanjay Leela Bhansali felt that the film needed a slightly melancholic conclusion. Salman expressed that although Vanraj’s actions were noble and god-like, Nandini should have ultimately chosen Sameer.
