After a dramatic split and an extended period of media attention stemming from their purported relationship, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai have already moved on. Nonetheless, netizens continue to discuss the same topics. Old videos of the pair reportedly discussing the same topics in different interviews keep popping up online. Yet again, a short video clip of Salman from one of his open confessions on Koffee With Karan was posted on his fan page. Netizens speculated that Salman was referring to Aishwarya.
During his appearance on a Koffee With Karan season 4 episode, Salman Khan revealed some of the strangest things about his personal life and relationships. A portion of his chat with Karan Johar, the host of the show, was reposted by one of his fan accounts. Salman was heard in the video being honest about why he was keeping his distance from his ex-girlfriend and minding his own business.
It was heard that he expressed his desire to avoid causing strife between his ex-girlfriend and her partner or spouse, given that both parties have moved on in their lives. He keeps away from her since he made it very clear that his relationship with his ex-girlfriend should not affect her in the present or the future. He also gave an explanation for his decision to cut ties with his former flame. Salman said, “Now you are somewhere else, and you have your own life. I don’t want, you know, somewhere in somebody else’s mind that thought to come in that I was the ex-boyfriend. I don’t want that. I don’t want anything from her past to come into their lives, and that is why I stay miles away. I don’t want to be the cause of the rift between their married lives because of me or my friendship.”
Netizens assumed Salman Khan was referring to Aishwarya Rai, his only ex, with whom he is not friendly, as soon as his video was made public. In addition, he appears to be keeping in contact with a number of his other purported ex-girlfriends, such as Katrina Kaif and Sangeeta Bijlani. A netizen said, “He’s talking about Aishwarya.” Another user said, “Phir bhi aishwarya ne badnam kiya fokat me Bhai ko and marpit wala insaan bola.”
Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai got married in 2007, many years after Salman Khan and Rai’s breakup. A few years later, Salman Khan was questioned over his ex-girlfriend’s marriage to Abhishek in an interview with India TV in 2010. Salman responded to this with an incredible statement about how she went on with her life, “I am very happy she is married to Abhishek. He is a great guy from a good family. The best thing I can want for her is that she leads a happy life.”
