Bollywood’s power couple, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, have found their marital relationship under intense scrutiny, with rumors of separation and a potential divorce circulating widely. The duo, once seen as the epitome of strength in the industry, are now at the center of ongoing speculation.
At the same time, past comments by Salman Khan regarding their marriage have resurfaced and gone viral on social media. Salman, who had a well-publicized relationship with Aishwarya before she married Abhishek, recently made headlines with his old remarks about the couple’s union.
The growing rumors of a split are fueled by Aishwarya and Abhishek’s recent separate public appearances, with some speculating that Abhishek’s alleged extramarital affair with actress Nimrat Kaur may be a factor, while others blame Aishwarya’s close friendship with Dr. Friendship. However, neither family has confirmed or denied these claims.
Media reports also suggest that Aishwarya’s past romance with Salman Khan, which ended in 2001, is a key point in the ongoing media coverage. Despite their breakup, Salman’s recent comments about Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek have reignited interest. In a previous interview, Salman, when asked about the allegations against Aishwarya, remarked, “I believe personal lives should remain personal. If I start defending him, I’d be denying my own history with her.”
On the subject of Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek, Salman expressed his happiness for the couple, saying, “The best thing is to stay quiet. It’s been so many years. She is someone’s wife, and she married into a wonderful family. I’m so glad she married Abhishek—he’s a great person, and that’s all an ex could wish for.”
Salman added that, despite the breakup, he wanted Aishwarya to be happy, saying, “Once you break up, you don’t want to see the other person miserable. You want them to be happy without you, even if it’s selfish. That way, you don’t feel guilty.”
Salman’s video has resurfaced on social media at a time when rumors about Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage have been making headlines once again.
