AS for Hum Dil--SLB wanted Kajol initially, but it didn't work out and went for Aishu. He wanted to work with her ever since she won Miss World.
Believe it or jot, but she was getting offers from ppl way before Salman stepped into the picture. She was Yash Chopra's first choice for Madhuri's role in Dil Toh Pagal Hai--and Salman was no way associated with that.
It may be hard for ppl to digest that women can have a career solely on their own merits w/out a guys' assistance. She was getting work handed to her just b/c of looks--don't think Salman really fueled her success in any way.
