Deepika Padukone`s cameo in Shah Rukh Khan`s Jawan was one of the biggest takeaways. She played the role of Aishwarya, who is Vikram Rathore`s wife. Despite having limited screen time, the actress` performance left a long-lasting impact. During the press conference held in Mumbai to celebrate the success of Jawan, Shah Rukh recalled approaching Deepika for the cameo.

Shah Rukh shared, "When Atlee Sir was discussing it, we were lucky because we had managed to get Vijay Sethupathi Sir on board. We met him and he was filled with so much love and goodness and he said `ya I`ll love to do the film`. We had just gone out for Nayanthara ji`s wedding. And then we are thinking, right from day one, if only we had Deepika in this role (Aishwarya Rathore). I said,"I don`t know sir, she will be busy and I love her too much". I will never call her for something that doesn`t become an essence for her. After all, she started her career with me."
