Then Bhansali offered Aishwarya an item song. Aishwarya turned down the item song in Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela, because the lyrics were Thappad se nahin pyar se darr lagta hai, taken from the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg. Aishwarya requested Bhansali to change the words. He refused.
For the uninitiated, Thappad se nahin pyar se darr lagta hai was the massy line from the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg. And for Aishwarya who had an ugly and violent history with Salman, to be mouthing his lines would have put her in a highly compromised situation. Understandably, Aishwarya suggested to Bhansali that they change the lyrics.
But Bhansali turned down the suggestion. Instead he changed his item girl. As luck would have it Aishwarya was replaced by Priyanka Chopra for the item song in Ram Leela. And the words of the song were also changed to Ram chahe leela chahe. The song was a big hit. And it consolidated Priyanka’s place in Bhansali’s production house. That’s how she got Bajirao Mastani.
