[tps_footer]Aamir Khan and Twinkle Khanna starrer Mela may have been a box office dipper (worse than ranch dip) but it did have a good cast and a special appearance by the L’Oreal diva, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Goes without saying that Aishwarya’s special role in the film wasn’t anything compact so it does strike our mind as to why she would even do it in the first place right? Here’s your answer, after all these years!

Recently, in an interview with Rajeev Masand, Aishwarya opened up on it and said, “Aamir (Khan) and I had done a commercial. We did many commercials, later on we did many world tours. I remember after the world tour, we had all become really, really close and he said that ‘there is this movie, just one shot at the end but it’s not with me, it’s with my brother Faisal (Khan)’. And the rebel that I am, I’m most definitely going to do it.”

Now that is something! :D[/tps_footer]
