Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Karan Johar are finally uniting for ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ for the first time after 17 years of their umpteen plans which never saw the light of the day. In one of her interviews, Aishwarya had revealed that while she said no to Karan Johar’s debut film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ due to date issues; she opted out of the super hit ‘Dostana’ as Abhishek and Saif Ali Khan were chosen for ‘Dostana’ but since the story was actually about two guys, she being Abhishek’s real-life partner chose to say no. Later, Saif had also opted out of the project with John Abraham taking up his role. by Ruchi Kaushal
