Salman Khan would cry listening to Tere Naam title track after breakup with Aishwarya Rai, says Sameer Anjaan: ‘He would call Himesh Reshammiya, make him sing’

Sameer continued, “Salman was hurting. His wounds were still fresh. Every time on set, before giving a shot, Himesh would sing, and Salman would cry. He wanted the song—especially the line ‘Kyun kisiko wafa ke badle wafa nahi milti’—to reach Aishwarya, to let her feel his pain.”

Sameer Anjaan also spoke about another high-profile Bollywood breakup that affected a film’s production—Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor during the shoot of Milenge Milenge (2010). The couple parted ways before filming was completed, causing concern for producer Boney Kapoor.

Recalling the situation, Sameer said, “When Shahid and Kareena broke up, one song was still left to shoot. Boney Kapoor was stressed, unsure if the film would ever be completed. He came to me and asked if I could write a song that would emotionally resonate with both actors—something that felt like their own story.”

The result was the soulful track “Kuch Toh Baaki Hai”. Sameer shared, “When Boney heard the lyrics, he was convinced. The song helped get the film back on track, and they finally completed the shoot.”

Milenge Milenge underwent multiple delays post their breakup with the couple refusing to dub the film together. The production that started in 2004, took nearly 6 years to hit the screen. Meanwhile, Kareena and Shahid broke up sometime in 2007 while they were filming Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met.
