Salman crops Aishwarya from the picture; Netizens still catch him

Salman Khan never misses out on encouraging young talents and especially when it comes to his near and dear ones, he always makes sure to lend his support.

As we all know, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman share a great relationship, not only colleagues but the duo also share a great friendship and now when SLB is launching his niece Sharmin Sehgal and Javed Jaaferi's son Meezan with the film Malaal, the Bhaijaan of Bollywood decided to share his warm wishes and welcome Sharmin in the industry.

Salman took to his social media account and shared a throwback picture with a sweet caption. In the picture that's taken on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (that starred Salman and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in lead roles and was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali), we can see a young Sharmin feeding some birthday cake to her uncle Bhansali while Salman Khan adorably looks upon. Sharing the picture, Salman wrote, "Just like that, it's time now to see this beautiful little Sharmin bloom on the silver screen in her debut film, Malaal. May this new journey bring you all luck and love."

While Salman smartly cropped Aishwarya from the picture, her existence is still very evident and netizens were quick to address it! The costumes worn by Salman and Aish back then while filming for the song 'Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan' has been a major hint.

Salman can be seen wearing the same black kurta and red dupatta while Aishwarya who is standing alongside him and has been cropped is seen donning the blush pink Indian attire that she wore in the song.

Check out the picture below:

As always, netizens quickly noticed it and dropped comments like, 'yes, I can see Aish behind," and "I guess it is from the set of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam ...Ankhonki Gusthakiyaan."
