Salman Khan maybe a sordid chapter in the life of Aishwarya Rai but he is ready to bury the hatchet and share screen space with her in an upcoming project.

Abhishek Bachchan may now be the real life heartthrob of Aishwarya but the couple that set the screen on fire is the Salman Khan- Aishwarya Rai Jodi. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was the last time the pair scorched the screen with their on screen chemistry.

Now Aishwarya Rai is Mrs Abhishek Bachchan and Salman Khan is ready to forgive his ex-flame. He has agreed to share screen space with her in an upcoming movie to be directed by Priyadarshan.

The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai recently stunned everyone by replying in the affirmative when someone asked her if she had been a victim of violence.

Ash is presently at Cannes for the screening of her film Provoked , which is the true story of a 23 year old Punjabi woman named Kiranjit Ahluwalia, who having lost both her parents by the age of 16, was persuaded by her brothers to give up her law studies and marry London based Deepak Ahluwalia only to be the victim of incessant domestic violence.

Post his fight with Shah Rukh Khan, Sallu has been at his social best, trying to gather as many ‘friends’ on his side as possible, particularly all those who don’t get along with SRK.

Earlier this week, he had spoken out about his fondness for the Bachchans, and was all praise for Abhishek, even calling him a buddy. This had come as a big surprise because the relations between Abhi and Salman had been understandably strained following Aishwarya Rai’s marriage to Abhishek.

Now, Salman has followed his words with some action.
