Ash's loss, Aditi's gain!

Komal Nahta

Oops. Sorry about this folks, but it turns out that it was Aditi Gowitrikar, not Aishwarya Rai (as was published online), who's shooting for the Coke ad with Hrithik Roshan.

It turns out that Aishwarya was finalised for the ad; she had even consented to go to Mauritius for the shoot. At the nth hour, the ex-Miss World dropped a bombshell on the Roshans -- saying she didn't approve of the script!

The panicked producers and Roshans approached Preity Zinta -- she had no free dates. Then sizzling hot Aditi stepped in and jetsetted off with Hrithik.

Wonder what it is about Rakesh Roshan. Earlier, Kareena Kapoor had walked out of KN…PH soon after the film was launched.

Incidentally, the first Coke ad, starring Ash and Aamir Khan was replaced by Aamir and Twinkle Khanna, who was then replaced by Jyotika Sadanah. Some of you might know her as Ms Bubbles. Others know her as Nagma's sister. Yet others know her has the fast-rising meteor on the Tamil films horizon.
