Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan almost came face to face recently at Mehboob Studios where Ash was shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish and Salman Khan was shooting for a promo for his next release, Veer.

Talking to a leading daily, an onlooker said that Salman was in a cheerful mood while talking on the phone when he arrived at the studio.

However, the bright smile turned into a nasty frown when Aishwarya Rai stepped out from the studio and moved towards her vanity van.

For a moment, both stars froze and immediately looked the other way. While Aishwarya entered her van immediately but Sallu Bhai's discomfort was pretty evident.

"Though he walked in talking on the phone with a smile, after coming face-to-face with Aishwarya, he didn't utter a single word, except when he was facing the camera, " the source added.
