Revealing how Salman couldn’t come to terms with their breakup, Aishwarya stated:
“Salman and I broke up last March, but he isn't able to come to terms with it. After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishek Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened.”

During an interview, a journalist asked Salman Khan whether he had ever hit a woman. To this question, Salman Khan indirectly hinted that he never had because if he had done the same, the girl wouldn't survive it. Salman Khan's words can be read as:
"Yeah, now that woman has said that I have. I mean there was a journalist Prabhu Chawla who asked me this long time ago, so I just banged the table he got startled, and the table really broke. I mean, if I hit somebody, it's obviously a fight, I am going to be angry. I am going to whack and give it my best shot. I don't think she would've survived it."
Well, Aishwarya is happily married to actor, Abhishek Bachchan, and the couple has a daughter named, Aaradhya Bachchan. On the other hand, Salman is happily single.
