When Salman came on the sets of Chalte Chalte and created a disturbance about Ash, SRK immediately replaced Ash with his favourite friend Rani. This caused the first tension between SRK and Salman.
Ash was very annoyed with him for replacing her with her close friend Rani (since then they do not like each other) and SRK took the bashing. But when the SRK - Salman fight took place, Rani not knowing which side to take, began criticising the fight and airing her sanctimonious views which upset SRK no end. She even went on Salman's show Dus Ka Dum and made a remark that she was disappointed hearing about the SRK-Salman brawl.
SRK felt that at this point of their friendship she should not have commented on this very sensitive subject. If she was his close buddy she should have known better than to aggravate the situation further. So when he was selecting girls for his home production, Billoo Barber he decided to chose Priyanka instead.
Rani was really miffed when he did that. She had definitely expected to be a big part of Billoo Barber and do the special dance number with him. Of course she denied being unhappy about it but was burning inside.
Her turn to snub him came very soon; she refused to be a part of his big event Temptations Reloaded. She knew the public would want to see this hit pair on stage together. Sweet revenge? Rani turns down Bhansali.
In what is seen as a bid to get closer to the SRK camp, actress refuses to play second fiddle to Vidya Balan in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Rani Mukherji is in a very shaky position, not only with her films but also with those big guns she feels she needs to please! Never did she imagine that she would reach this state in her career.
Neither did she foresee that she would hit such a low when she would only be offered cameo roles, while a Vidya Balan would be offered the lead. She was hurt and upset when Sanjay Leela Bhansali again offered her a cameo for his film Chenab Gandhi, where he has Viday Balan and Harman in the lead, with Amitabh Bachchan playing a very important role.
At the time of Saawariya, she had understood when Bhansali had offered her a special appearance role because he was launching two newcomers, Ranbir and Sonam and the story revolved around them. But this time around she was not willing to do a cameo and play second fiddle to Vidya Balan.
