Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan’s relationship has remained one of Bollywood’s most talked-about chapters. Years after their breakup, an old interview in which Aishwarya spoke about her difficult experiences during the relationship continues to resurface online.
Aishwarya Rai’s Statement About Salman Khan
Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan were among Bollywood’s most popular couples in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their relationship eventually ended, but details surrounding their breakup continued to attract significant public attention.
In a 2002 report published by The Times of India, Aishwarya spoke about her experiences after her relationship with Salman had ended. She alleged that Salman would call her after their breakup and make accusations about her relationships with other actors.
According to the report, Aishwarya said she was linked with several of her co-stars and that Salman was suspicious of her friendships and professional relationships.
She also alleged that there were occasions when Salman became physically aggressive toward her. Aishwarya reportedly said that she continued going to work despite what she described as difficult experiences in her personal life.
Aishwarya Alleged Verbal and Emotional Abuse
In statements attributed to Aishwarya, the actress described herself as having endured what she characterized as verbal, physical and emotional abuse during the relationship.
She also alleged that Salman’s behaviour was affected by alcohol and claimed that she had faced infidelity and humiliation. Eventually, she decided to end the relationship.
The allegations became a major topic in Bollywood media at the time, with both stars subsequently moving forward with their respective careers.
Why Their Relationship Still Makes Headlines
Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan's relationship continues to generate interest because both became major Bollywood stars after their highly publicized breakup. Aishwarya went on to build an international career, while Salman became one of Hindi cinema’s biggest commercial stars.
Although many years have passed, old interviews and reports about their relationship frequently resurface on social media, particularly when discussions about Bollywood’s most famous celebrity relationships trend online.
It is important to note that the claims regarding abuse are allegations attributed to Aishwarya Rai, rather than independently established facts. Salman Khan has also publicly discussed the relationship and has disputed allegations made against him.
Today, both actors have established separate careers and continue to remain influential figures in Indian cinema. Their past relationship, however, remains a subject of considerable public curiosity.
