Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s marital relationship is the subject of much speculation in Bollywood. The duo, once considered one of the industry’s most powerful couples, have been besieged by rumors of separation and impending divorce.
At the same time, Salman Khan’s past comments on Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage are once again going viral.
Abhishek and Aishwarya’s separate appearances in public are prolonging the news of separation between the two. Social media users are citing Abhishek’s extramarital relationship with actress Nimrat Kaur as the reason for the marriage turning sour, while Aishwarya’s friend Dr. Friendship is also being blamed. However, no confirmation or denial has been offered by both the families.
According to Indian media, Aishwarya Rai, who is currently married to Abhishek Bachchan, was allegedly in a romantic relationship with Salman Khan before her marriage.
Aishwarya and Salman’s relationship even reached the point of marriage, but in 2001, a rift between the pair ended the romance. In 2002, she made several allegations against Salman and officially announced her separation. However, now Dabangg star Salman Khan’s statement on Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s marriage is going viral on Indian media.
During an old interview, when Salman Khan was asked about the allegations of abuse against Aishwarya, he said, “What can I say about this, I believe in one thing that human beings’ personal life is personal. If I start defending him, someone was a part of your life too and you would be denying it.”
Salman Khan, in his statement on Aishwarya’s marriage with Abhishek, said, “The best thing is to keep quiet. So many years have passed, you know, she is someone’s wife, she married into a big family. And I’m so happy that she got married to Abhishek, I think Abhishek is a great person and that’s the best thing any ex-boyfriend would like.”
He added, “Because you don’t want, once you break up with someone, to be miserable without you, you want them to be happy without you, even though it’s selfish. But that way, you are not guilty.”
Interestingly, the video has resurfaced on social media at a time when Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s 2007 marriage has been making headlines with rumors of a breakup.
