It's
known
to
all
that
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
and
Rani
Mukerji
used
to
be
best
buddies
until
the
Devdas
actress
got
embroiled
into
a
nasty
break
up
with
Salman
Khan,
and
she
had
to
distance
herself
from
many
of
her
friends
and
colleagues.
Wondering
why
has
Aishwarya
and
Rani's
old
friendship
cropped
up
today?
Well,
a
while
ago,
Farah
Khan
shared
an
old
picture
of
Rani
Mukerji
and
Aishwarya
Rai
from
her
housewarming
party
on
her
Instagram
page
and
we
just
can't
help
but
recall
the
good
old
days
of
Bollywood.
Farah
captioned
the
picture
as,
"#flashbackfriday
..
housewarming
2001

the
first
home
I
bought..
p.s-
@aishwaryaraibachchan_arb

In
the
picture,
Aishwarya
and
Rani
are
seen
striking
a
pose
for
the
camera
along
with
Karan
Johar,
Sajid
Khan
and
Farhan
Akhtar.
Reacting
to
the
picture,
Karan
commented,
"Oh
my
god!!!!"
Coming
back
to
Aishwarya
and
Rani's
infamous
cold
war,
things
turned
worse
between
the
duo
when
Rai
was
replaced
by
Mukerji
in
Shah
Rukh
Khan-starrer
Chalte
Chalte.
Aishwarya
was
the
first
choice
for
the
film
and
she
had
started
shooting
for
the
film
as
well,
but
one
fine
day,
Salman
arrived
on
the
sets
of
Chalte
Chalte
and
things
got
chaotic
because
of
his
heated
argument
with
Aishwarya
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
Well,
Shah
Rukh
had
to
take
a
stern
step
and
he
ended
up
ousting
Aishwarya
from
the
film.
Reportedly,
Aishwarya
was
hurt
when
she
learnt
that
her
own
friend
Rani
has
agreed
to
fill
in
her
shoes.
Cut
to
present,
both
Rani
and
Aishwarya
are
leading
happy
lives
and
they
are
very
cordial
with
each
other,
as
they
have
let
bygones
be
bygones.
