Aishwarya Rai, who is married to Abhishek Bachchan now, was previously rumored to be involved with Salman Khan, whose said relationship had, reportedly, ended in 2002. Both of them have kept their personal lives largely out of the spotlight, but Salman spoke about it during his visit to Aap Ki Adalat.
When asked about the allegations of being abusive in the relationship, Salman replied, “Uske baare mein kya kahu sir. I just wish that, you know, I believe in one thing your personal life is your personal life. If I go to defend this, then sir, somewhere someone was a part of your life and you’d be denying it.
He also spoke about Aishwarya’s marriage, for which he confessed his admiration for Abhishek. “The best thing to do is stay silent. Itne saal beet gaye hai, you know, she is someone’s wife, married into a big family. I am very happy that she is married to Abhishek. I think Abhishek is a great guy. This is the best thing any ex-boyfriend would want. You don’t want, once your friendship is over, you don’t want that person to be miserable without you.”. So you want this person to really really be very happy without you. So that, ek selfish reason bhi hogya, there’s no guilt on your head. But that is the best way to see it. That’s how I feel,” Salman said.

It has come flooding back because of reports of the marital problems in the Bachchan couple. Rumors gathered pace with the photos of Aishwarya and Abhishek separately attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding earlier this year. Aishwarya was seen arriving with her daughter Aaradhya while Abhishek arrived with his family members. Abhishek did not wish Aishwarya on her birthday publicly, but she hasn’t said a word about these rumors yet.
