Cuttack (Odisha): A newlywed man Vanraj (Ajay Devgn) discovers that his wife Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) is in love with another man Sameer (Salman Khan) and decides to unite them. Ignoring societal ridicule, he takes his wife to Italy in search of her love in the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. Directed by renowned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film became a blockbuster.
The same scene was repeated in Odisha's Cuttack, but in a different way. The woman was married, but she elopes with her lover. Whereas in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', the wife decides to stay with her husband in the end. But, the real-life incident shocked many as very rarely do these kinds of incidents take place.
