Salman Khan-Aishwarya Rai: There was a lot of talk about Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan’s affair. The two fell in love with each other while working together in the 1999 film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. As their love deepened, rumors spread that Aishwarya and Salman had a ‘secret nikaah’ and the actress had converted to Islam. Although there was never any confirmation about the couple’s rumored nikaah, rumors kept claiming that the wedding took place at a bungalow in Lonavala and close friends and family members attended it.
It was also said that Salman and Aishwarya’s parents did not attend the wedding. Reports also mentioned a honeymoon in New York. But these claims were never proven and later Aishwarya and Salman broke up. Aishwarya then married Abhishek Bachchan. They also have a daughter Aaradhya. Salman is still single. Aishwarya once broke her silence on the rumours of her secret nikaah with Salman.
Aishwarya broke her silence on the rumours of a secret marriage with Salman
Actually, during a media interaction at that time, Aishwarya had dismissed the rumours of her secret marriage with Salman Khan. The actress had said that if she gets married, the entire industry will come to know about it.
Aishwarya had said, “If this had happened, wouldn’t the whole industry know about it? The industry is such a small place, besides, after my mother’s accident, I don’t have time to spend with my family, I am not the kind of person who would turn down a big thing like marriage. If this had happened, I would have proudly announced my marriage to the world. Besides, where is the time to get married? All this is absolute nonsense.”
Salman-Aishwarya broke up in 2002
Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai reportedly broke up in 2002 and never worked together again after that. In an interview with Simi Garewal in 2012, Aishwarya talked about her breakup with Salman and said, “I think I have pretty much shut it out. I think I wouldn’t want to look at it in any way. Especially on a public platform. I really wouldn’t want to do that.”
When asked if she feels negative about the past, the actress had said, “I have banished my past. It is in the past and needs to be left there. I am not a solo artist… I have my family, my close ones, people I love and care about a lot. So there is a clear wall there. Yes, there is, and there is no denying it.”
Aishwarya marries Abhishek
After breaking up with Salman, Aishwarya Rai fell in love with Abhishek Bachchan again and they got married in April 2007. They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in 2011.
