Two beautiful women on his either side, but Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan wanted to scoot away? How on earth did the Veer superstar land himself in such a coveted corner where he found himself flanked by his two ex flames - Katrina Kaif and Aishwarya Rai?

Coincidence had a cruel way of playing out at Mehboob Studios on Wednesday. Aishwarya was in to shoot director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama Guzaarish and later Katrina too zipped in to shoot an advertisement.

No big surprise that when Salman arrived at the studio to give ‘Veer’ interviews, he froze in the tracks after spotting his vanity van parked smack dab between the vans of Aishwarya and Katrina. Eyewitnesses say a nonplussed Khan couldn’t at first decide whether to double back or hide inside his van.

Having had no alternative, the ‘Veer’ actor decided to brave the awkward situation and give the interviews right outside his van, even as Ash and Kat kept sauntering in and out of their vans a few feet away.

What kept buzzing in Salman’s head all through that while is hard to nail. But it couldn’t be far from his movie’s title: “Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya!”.
