Amid all the fiasco, a throwback video of Amitabh Bachchan is doing rounds on social media, where the veteran actor is seen sharing the stage with Salman Khan. For the unversed, before tying the knot with Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai was in a serious relationship with Salman. However, their relationship ended on an ugly note.

Despite his ugly past with Aishwarya, Salman shares a very cordial bond with the Bachchans. It was during industrialist, Sunny Dewan’s Christmas party in 2012 when Abhishek Bachchan and Salman Khan were spotted together for the first time. People at the party were expecting some drama, but like mature individuals, Salman and Abhishek were cordial with each other. As per a guest present at the party:
“Salman reciprocated warmly. The two actors chatted for a long time. We thought either Salman or Abhishek would make a quiet and quick exit, but they both stayed on till 5 am, Aishwarya had settled in one corner.”
In 2010, when Salman Khan appeared for an interview with India TV, he was asked about his reaction to Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek. Salman not only refrained from making any controversial statement but also won many hearts with his response. The handsome actor said:
“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.”
Coming back to Salman and Aishwarya’s failed relationship, the actress ended her relationship with Salman in 2002 after enduring his alcoholism and abuses.

“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.”
Many past instances have added fuel to the rumours of Abhishek and Aishwarya’s split. The Bachchan bahu often makes appearances without the Bachchan clan. Even during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, the Bachchans came together with their son, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. On the other hand, Aishwarya came moments later along with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Amid Aishwarya and Abhishek’s separation buzz, it is also rumoured that the actor cheated on Aishwarya Rai with his Dasvi co-star, Nimrat Kaur.
