With Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s personal life under the spotlight due to ongoing rumors of trouble in her marriage with Abhishek Bachchan, old stories about her past relationships are making headlines once again. One of the most talked-about chapters from Aishwarya’s life was her highly publicized relationship with Salman Khan.
The two met and fell in love while working on Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999, but their relationship ended in 2001. After the breakup, Aishwarya claimed in an interview that Salman’s behavior towards her had been toxic, mentioning verbal and emotional abuse. Salman, however, never addressed these allegations publicly.
Sohail Khan’s View on the Breakup
In the past, Salman’s brother Sohail Khan had expressed frustration over the way Aishwarya handled their relationship. During an interview, Sohail reportedly criticized Aishwarya for not openly acknowledging her relationship with Salman at the time.
He was quoted saying, “When Aishwarya was spending time with our family, visiting our house often, she never talked about being in a relationship with Salman. But now she cries in public and talks about their breakup. Salman genuinely loved her, but she never gave him that assurance.”
Sohail’s remarks reflect the emotional tension that surrounded the breakup, suggesting that the lack of clarity in their relationship added to the strain.
Divorce Rumors Surrounding Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan
Fast forward to recent events, Aishwarya and her husband Abhishek Bachchan are now under public scrutiny due to rumors of a rift in their marriage. The speculation grew stronger after Aishwarya skipped the Ambani family event earlier this year, which was attended by the rest of the Bachchan family.
Adding to the rumors, there has been chatter linking Abhishek to actress Nimrat Kaur, although both Nimrat and Abhishek have not commented on the matter. Meanwhile, the couple has maintained silence regarding any issues in their marriage.
Aishwarya and Abhishek, who married in 2007, share a daughter, Aaradhya. Despite the rumors, there has been no official confirmation from either party about a separation.
